| dc.description.abstract | Many studies show a positive correlation between staff training and firm productivity, explaining why firms, including Kenyan Sugar Sector Finns, use it. However, many training programs exist leading to choice dilemma. Some firms employ particular training programs and reap the benefit in terms of improved performance, while others employ other training programs and do not. This variability shows that some particular training programs have greater contributory magnitude to organizational effectiveness than others. Unfortunately, little is known on the extent to which each training program impacts on performance, or, the contributory magnitude each training program has on organizational effectiveness. This study therefore investigates the impact of training strategies on organizational effectiveness of Sony Sugar Company. Specifically, it has determined the magnitude of contribution each distinct training strategy has on the overall performance of the firm. A cross sectional sample survey was used to provide a representative sample. Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling method was used in selecting a sample size of 146 permanent workers from all the departments for this study. Open and closed ended questionnaires were used to gather primary data from respondents. Secondary data has also been used. For data analysis, descriptive statistics has been used. Data collected summarized in tabular form, and presented in graphs. The study found that different training programs have differently distinct contributions to organizational effectiveness at various function departments. It also found that SonySugar uses more frequently training strategies with minimal contribution to organizational, effectiveness, and less frequently training program; with greater contributory effect on fine performance. It therefore recommended a stoppage of repeated usage of seminars and conference training methods with inferior contributions to performance, and instead, adoption of a more frequent usage of role playing and mentoring methods with superior contributions. Secondly, the study recommended that a generalized /overlapping implementation of training programs to all departments should be avoided. This study is Very important as it is to significantly boost performance of the Kenyan Sugar sector finns by eliminating the implementation of training programs which always leads to additional costs at no returns. | en_US |
