Abstract

This study examined the effect of training on employee performance in the public sector in Tanzania, focusing specifically on the Kinondoni Regional Police Force. The study was guided by three objectives; to assess the effects of off-the-job training, on-the-job training, and induction training on employee performance. Drawing upon Institutional Theory, the research employed a positivism philosophy and a quantitative approach, utilizing an explanatory research design. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze data obtained from 85 respondents via structured questionnaires. The study found that off the-job training has a strong positive effect on employee performance. However, the effects of on-the-job training and induction training were found to be moderate. The study concluded that off-the-job training significantly enhances employee performance, while on-the-job and induction training have moderate effects. The research recommends tailored training programs, continuous evaluation, and feedback mechanisms to improve training program effectiveness. Creating a supportive environment for continuous learning and development, incorporating technology into training programs, and collaborating with external stakeholders can boost employee performance. The study advances knowledge on training and performance of employee and emphasizes the importance of training programs to improve organizational effectiveness. Keywords: Employees Training, Employees Performance, Training Methods, Demonstration, Coaching, Distance learning, Job rotation and Mentorship.
