The main of this study was to determine the influence of training and development on employee’s job performance in public sector in Tanzania.

The study adopted descriptive research design, sample size of 100 respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique, data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The findings of the Training Needs Assessment (TNA) reveal a positive perception among employees regarding the value and impact of the training interventions in the Tanzanian public service. Moreover, the findings of the study revealed that to a large extent, the methodology of On-the-Job Training (OJT) helps in improving employee performance in the public sector of Tanzania. Furthermore, the results of the research study shows that the impact of Off-the-Job Training (OJT) on employee performance in the public sector of Tanzania is progressive. Therefore, the study recommends that to further improve job efficiency, it is advisable for organizations to consider the integration of training interventions into departmental and organizational strategies. Moreover, organizations need to develop and implement formal OJT programs designed specifically for the precise jobs. Furthermore, organizations should also introduce routine evaluations of staff training where training plans are designed to fill their skill deficits in order to maximize these advantages.
