Abstract

The research investigated the influence of on-the-job training on employee performance within the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries in Zanzibar. Specifically, the research aimed to quantify the extent of employee participation in on-the-job training within the organization, evaluate the correlation between employee knowledge and performance, analyze the training methodologies employed by the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries in Zanzibar, and find out the challenges encountered by the Ministry in its efforts to implement on-the-job training. A quantitative research methodology was adopted for this investigation, utilizing a case study design. The data collection was conducted through the administration of questionnaires, with subsequent analysis employing descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis techniques. The findings indicated that employee training exerted a positive and statistically significant influence on employee performance. Conversely, employee knowledge demonstrated a positive correlation but lacked statistical significance in relation to employee performance. Nevertheless, on-the-job training was found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on employee performance. The findings of the research indicated that both on-the-job training and comprehensive training programs have a constructive influence on employees by fostering the acquisition of a varied skill set, thus alleviating unexpected obstacles that could hinder the Ministry’s goals. Keywords: Employee’s Knowledge, On the Job Training, Employee Performance.
