Abstract

This study assessed the factors affecting training and development in the case of TANESCO headquarters. The study was guided by three specific objectives; to determine the effect of training needs assessment on employees' training and development, to determine the effect of Budget Constraints on employees' training and development and to determine the Effect of Leadership Support on employees' training and development. Positivist philosophy was utilized in this study. A quantitative approach was also employed with an explanatory design. A sample of 90 employees from TANESCO was drawn from a population of 285 using stratified sampling. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze data. The study found that training needs assessment and leadership support were positive and significantly related to training and development while budget constraints were found to be negative and significantly related to training needs. Based on those findings the recommends that TANESCO should ensure that TNAs are conducted regularly to identify evolving skill gaps and training needs within the organization. Secondly, TANESCO should identify and prioritize critical training needs that align with TANESCO's strategic objectives despite budget limitations and lastly, leaders at all levels within TANESCO should visibly demonstrate their commitment to training and development initiatives. Keywords: Training Needs Assessment, Budget Constraints, Leadership Support, Training and Development.
