Simple random sampling technique was used and self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 244 sample employees and collected the relevant primary data sources from 212 respondents. SPSS version 26 was used to process the data gathered. The study applied explanatory design and mixed approach. The study used descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) to describe the status of training and employee performance. Moreover, Correlation and regression analysis were also used to determine the cause and effect relationships between training and employees’ job performance. The findings revealed that there is training practice in the bank mainly on the job training, off the job training and rich training content and strong Pearson correlation results revealed that employee performance has positive relation with on-the-job training (r = 0.725, p <0.01) and off-the-job training (r = 0.722, p <0.01). Finally, the regression analysis revealed that on-the job and off-the job training have positively and significantly affected employees’ job performance. Finally, it recommended that contemporary training issues and methods should be implemented in addition to empowering trainers. |
