Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the effect of staff training on employee performance in Bugweri Town Council. The study adopted a cross sectional design using a mixed approach. Data was collected from a sample of 73 respondents using self-administered questionnaires and interview guides. Out of the planned sample only 60 respondents participated in the study with 53 in the questionnaires 7 in interviews. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS using descriptive and inferential statistics.
The findings showed that induction training explained 2.5% of variation in employee performance in Bugweri Town council, on job training affects employee performance by 28.3% and the remaining and off job training accounts for only 12.5% variance in employee performance. The multiple regression coefficient results found that on job training had the largest effect on employee performance at 54% followed by off job training at 38.6% and induction training had the least effect at 19.3%. The study concluded that although induction training had a positive effect on employee performance, its influence was insignificant while the influence by on job training and off job training and employee performance were positive and significant. The study recommended that Management of Bugweri Town Council should embrace on job training and off job training as a way of attaining positive employee performance and little or no emphasis on induction training.
