Abstract:
This study examined the impact of training and personnel development on organizational productivity of manufacturing firms using evidence from selected business management academics. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample size of the study was fifty-eight (58) experts in business management who responded to the online structured questionnaire. The closed-ended questionnaire used the five-point Likert Scale. Cronbach's alpha was deployed to test the reliability of the research instrument. Descriptive statistics was conducted using frequency counts, percentages and mean while Spearman Ranked Order Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The findings showed that: on-the-job training significantly enhances firm effectiveness (rho = 0.699, p-value = 0.000); off-the-job training significantly improves firm effectiveness (rho = 0.357, p-value = 0.010); personnel development significantly contributes to firm effectiveness (rho = 0.533, p-value = 0.000). It was recommended that staff of manufacturing firms should endeavour to take an optimal advantage of the human capital development programmes of their organisations in order to enable them improve their individual carrier paths and prospects while contributing positively to the growth of the firm.
