Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The study assessed the effects of training/development on the performance of paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State. Relevant literatures were reviewed to provide the relevant theoretical background for the study. A cross-sectional survey research method was used in sampling the entire 312 operational staff of the three paint manufacturing firms in Rivers State. A research questionnaire was used in collecting the primary data while formulated hypothesis was tested using Pearson product moment correlation via statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 0.15).The major findings of the research include: paint manufacturing firms that invested substantially on training and development survived the operational difficulties in Rivers State while a sizeable number of workers have not received any form of training in their organizations due to managers’ discriminatory nomination of workers for training/development programs. The research therefore recommends among others: paint manufacturing firms should expand their training/development programs to involve every worker and not only favoured ones, they should partner with the relevant government agencies to effectively control their identified operational problems like product adulteration and extortion by law enforcement agencies.
