| Abstract: | The main objective of this research is to assess the effect of training on employee performance in
Berhan bank Addis Ababa catchment area. In order to get the real picture of the effect of training on
employee performance, the research design was explanatory design. The total sample of the study was
290 and 275 were collected back. The sources of data were primary and secondary. The findings
revealed that there is training gap analysis in the bank but there is also low attention from bank
management, insufficient and inconsistent time, no inclusion of new job roles but repetitive in content
of training, in addition the practice of design were not aggressively designed, before the training,
employee’s basic skills were not ensured to master the training content. In case of correlation all
independent variables have significant correlation. Training need assessment (r=.444**p<0.01),
training design(r=.312**p<0.01), Training Delivery (r= .518**) and Evaluation of Training (r=
.197**). Training delivery and need assessment are having strong and significant correlation with the
dependent variable employee performance. In case regression, R-square, indicates that 41.6% of
variation on employee performance is explained independent variables. Training need assessment has
a b value .344 (p<0.05), training design beta value .115 p<00, Training Delivery beta value .401
P<0.01, Evaluation of Training beta valu.098. This indicted that training need as training needs
assessment; training design; training delivery; and training evaluation have a statistically significant
and positive relationship with employee performance. Finally the researcher recommends since all
independent variables were significant the manager of the bank should due attention fro each phase
in training process. |
