adapt to the changing and challenging
business environment and technology for
better performance, increase employees’
knowledge
to
develop
creative
and
problem solving skills.
Meanwhile,
all
the
relationships
proposed among the variables in the
research model were tested and it was
found that relationship exists amongst the
variables having subjected the collected
data to empirical analysis with the use of
descriptive statistics. However, the results
of the findings indicated that training and
development
affects
employees’
performance
and
organizational
effectiveness, which implies that effort
must be made to ensure that employees’
skills
and
knowledge
are
fully
underutilized through adequate and timely
training design and implementation. The
overall
result
showed
that
proposed
hypotheses tested were accepted. It is
therefore recommended that Individual
should be more proactive and seek to be
more creative and innovative to contribute
their quota through their profession and
skill. Employers of labour and decision
makers
should
endeavour
to
create
enabling
training
environment
and
favorable training policies that will give
every
worker
opportunity
to
attend
training. Management should also take into
consideration the training need of each
workers and act as appropriate.
