Abstract
The purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between employee training and job performance. The study focused on Ugandan organizations both private and public. The method used to collect data included, using secondary data that is already available in the libraries. More information was obtained from text books, journals, magazines, newspapers and the internet. The researcher met numerous problems when carrying out the research and these included, difficulties in accessing information since some of it was restricted, financial difficulties especially during surfing the internet, typing and printing, the time given to carry out the research was limited and balancing research project with other academic courses was also very hard. The researcher found out that many organizations in Uganda focus on organizational needs rather than individual developmental needs when carrying out training which has made many employees or trainees regard the training they receive useless. However, trainees are exposed to number of training methods such as, on-the-job training, off-the-job training, case study analysis, simulation exercises, demonstrations role- play lectures and discussions and secondments. Training in as much as it is done using good methods, must focus on individual development needs such that it can be seen as useful by the trainees or else, employees will continue to yield poor results while at work. Good relationships between the trainees and trainers must also be enhanced. This can be done through using open communication.
