| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the relationship between training approaches on employee performance in
the Public Service in Uganda using a case of MoFPED. The study was premised on the following
objectives: to find out the relationship between induction and employee performance at
MoFPED, to establish the relationship between on the job training and employee performance at
MoFPED and to assess the relationship between off the job training and employee performance
at MoFPED. The study adopted a descriptive cross sectional survey design where both
quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. In this study, a total out of the 60 survey
questionnaires were distributed, 51 respondents returned the survey instruments representing a
response rate of 85%. The data was collected using questionnaires and interviews and analysis
was done using regression analysis and correlation coefficients. Findings revealed that there is a
positive significant relationship between induction and employee performance at MoFPED
r=0.872(**), secondly, there is a positive significant relationship between on the job training and
employee performance at MoFPED r=0.512(**) and lastly there is a positive significant
relationship between off the job training and employee performance at MoFPED r=0.322. Like
in any other organization, the employees are helped to learn about their duties when they are still
new. Employees who undergo proper induction tend to keep their jobs longer than those who do
not. It was recommended that: induction sessions should be made more regular to ensure the
employees have a clear scope of what is required of them. Based on the results of the study, the
researcher recommends introducing more induction programs for employees, which are more
suitable to the skills needed at work. The training needs identified should emanate from
MoFPED strategic plan, which also cover departmental/sectional/teams and individual plans. | en_US |
