Abstract
This study concerns the managerial problem, how to train and develop workers for
a higher productivity. This problem has existed in companies and industries
since the emergence of complex organizations and transfer of technology.
This research was conducted in Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited (PAN) located
in Kaduna, Nigeria.
The objective of this project is to find out the Impact of Training and Development
on employee productivity:
(1) What influences training and development bring to bear on productivity in
a complex industry using assembly line method of production ?
(2) What training attitudes workers at all levels in PAN have ?
(3) Any differences in the level of training and development between different
categories of PAN workers and their effects on productivity.
The work finally sought to make some recommendations on what PAN
management can do to effectively train and develop the workforce to improve
productivity.
A sample of two hundred respondents were randomly selected from a
population of a little over one thousand five hundred workers. One hundred and
fifty of the respondents completed the questionnaire.
The findings of this research revealed that:-
(1) There exists a general feeling of satisfaction with various training
modules, both in the junior and the senior categories of workers in PAN.
However, a more satisfactory feeling is expressed by the senior staff.
(2) That training and development exert a very strong factor on productivity
in the company.
Based on the findings of this research it was recommended that:-
(1) PAN trainees must not see the period of training as a period of escape
from work. Rather, they should see it as a period of serious concentration
from where they would ultimately launch themselves into full reckoning
in the company.
(2) The decision to recommend one for training must be preceeded by needs
assessment usually determined from the Annual Performance Appraisal Report
and not on the basis of the mood of the sponsor, participation in training
programes is not a cake to be shared by the person wielding power to
those he likes.
(3) Management should see the general welfare of workers as an important
factor to be considered in training and development.
(4) PAN employees should be encouraged to see themselves as an integral part
of the company and take part in identifying training needs.
(5) A favorable and good working environment would enhance training and
development
