The Effect of Employee Training on Job Performance in Local Governments: A Case of Bukedea District, Uganda

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of employee training on performance in Local Governments, with a focus on Bukedea district. Objectives included establishing the link between training and performance, assessing employed training methods, and gauging the relevance of employee programs. The research utilized a cross-sectional descriptive survey design with 172 randomly selected staff, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data collection involved questionnaires, interviews, and documentary analysis, followed by editing, coding, and analysis using SPSS. Results were presented graphically, revealing a training gap, indicating the absence of pre-training needs assessment and a local government training policy. These deficiencies raised concerns about the effectiveness of training initiatives in enhancing overall performance. Recommendations were made, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive reevaluation of the training process in Bukedea district. This involves conducting thorough needs assessments, establishing a robust training policy, and implementing evaluation mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of training initiatives, ultimately contributing to improved performance in the Local Government context.
