Impact Of Employee Training Programmes on Job Performance (Case Study of Fountain University Osogbo)

Employee training is crucial for organizational success, equipping employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles effectively. This study investigates the impact of employee training programmes on job performance, focusing specifically on the non- teaching staff of Fountain University Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. The research explores the training programme, such as workshops and seminars, and their influence on key job performance metrics, including productivity and quality of work. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 129 non-teaching staff at Fountain University Osogbo, with 113 completed and returned, resulting in 87.6% response rate. The data was analyzed using General Linear Model (GLM). The findings from the analyses indicate that both workshops and seminars have a statistically significant positive impact on productivity and the quality of work among non-teaching staff. The study concludes that well- structured training programmes are vital for enhancing job performance and recommends that universities continue to invest in these initiatives. By integrating training programmes into broader strategic plans and fostering a culture of continuous learning, universities can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their administrative and support functions, ultimately benefiting the entire academic community.
