Abstract

Training and development activities are a crucial exercise in any organisational set-up. It has attracted intense debate and scholarly attention in the human resource management arena over the years. However, its application to public sector has received little attention. This paper attempts to rectify this position by considering training and development as a tool for employee performance in the district assemblies in Ghana. In a sample of fifty (50) full time staff members of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, the research revealed direct relationship between training and development and employee performance (r = 0.3347, p = 0.030). Also the results from the data analysis indicated that significant relationship exist between training and development and job satisfaction (r value (0.3338) is greater than p value (0.0307)). Finally, the study revealed that management and employees faced peculiar problems during training and development exercises. Management complained about funds whilst employees’ expresses concern about the time allotted to various training and development programmes.
