Abstract
This study investigated the effects of job training on the performance of local government employees in Uganda, focusing on Kayonza Sub-County, Kanungu District. Training is defined as the systematic development of knowledge, skills, and behavior required for employees to perform adequately on confirmed tasks or jobs. In the ever-changing local government environments of Asian, European, and African countries, the need for continuous training is emphasized to cope with the dynamic socioeconomic landscape. The study addressed the increasing poor performance of government employees in Kayonza Sub-County and aims to assess the effects of training on their performance. The research identified the major purposes of training, including the adaptation of electronic services and improvement of service delivery and performance. The study also examines the methods used for training, with discussions and demonstrations being the predominant approaches. Findings show a positive relationship between staff training and performance, emphasizing the significance of training in enhancing employee capabilities and overall effectiveness. Challenges faced by the implementation of effective training programs in Kayonza Sub-County are explored, with budgetary constraints and time challenges identified as key hindrances. The study concluded that while the current on-the-job training program is effective, the Sub-County should consider enabling employees to further their studies for improved qualifications. Recommendations included the continuation of on-the-job training programs, periodic analysis for effectiveness, and a broader understanding within the public sector that training is an investment yielding significant returns on both employee and organizational performance. The study called for a willingness to invest in employee training as a strategic initiative for overall organizational development.
