Impact of training on work performance: A case of Secondary Schools in Chipata district
(2016) KALYATA, Richard K.
The study focused on students’ performance relative to the declining passing rated from 2013 to 2015 at 60.2%, 55.9% and 57% respectively. The study followed a mixed methods approach. The findings were that the performance of grade 12 pupils had in the past three years been deteriorating. It was also noted that the training of teachers had a positive impact on teacher’s work performance. It was however revealed that the training policy was being implemented in a haphazard manner. This coupled with the inadequate training needs analysis, poor coordination, discrimination in availing training opportunities, and public officials undertaking training without due authority were some of the contributing factors.The study recommended that there was need to review the current methods and criteria for training and the use of performance indicators as the basis for effective monitoring and evaluation of training and development
