Recently employee training has become more important to organizations which seek
higher performance since there is competition among organizations. The employee
training has shown major significance in performance improvement. This study was
conducted to assess the training in local government,specifically at Kwimba District
Council in Mwanza Region.
The sampling techniques employed were simple random sampling and purposive
sampling. Simple random sampling was used to obtain respondents from all groups
while purposive sampling was used to obtain senior officials such as heads of
department (HODs).A sample of 80 people was drawn from the study area. Primary and
secondary data were collected followed by quantitative and qualitative analyses with
findings being presented in tables, figures and text to simplify interpretation.
The study revealed that training has major impacts on performance improvement since
it leads to job satisfaction and morale, punctuality and commitment. Also the study
revealed that there is weak or no relationship between employee training and turnover
since training is motivation for employee to prefer his/her organization and job.
Also,it was revealed that employers do prefer employee training but in most cases they
do not allow their employees to attend trainings due to budget constraints and lack of
training needs assessment. However,the employees maintained that the employers do
not prefer employee training by also pointing budget constraints and lack of training
needs assessment as .
The study recommends effective training needs assessment in order to remove the
perception employee training is a means of enriching employee. |
