Introduction

1.1 Back ground of the study

Recent changes in the environment of business is will be make training and development
function even more helping an organization to maintain competitiveness and prepare for the
future. Competitive pressure is also change the organization way of operation and the skill that
employee need. Employee training and development activities are the key tools for the
organization survivals and growth as well as for better competitiveness. (Robert 1.mathisip 315).

The concept of training refers to a short term process utilizing a systematic and organized
procedure by which non managerial personnel learn the technical knowledge and
skill(Ivancevichip 416).it is learning experience that seeks a relatively permanent change in skill
knowledge, attitude towards their work or their interaction with co-worker their supervisor
(Tyson and yorik 141)

Development represents the effort to improve employee’s ability to handle Varity of assignment
and cultivate capabilities beyond those required by the current job.

Development frequently includes judgment and responsibility how to develop an action

orientation or the ability to worker under pressure must be addressed by organization.

Generally training is short term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedures where
by acquire skill or knowledge to aid the achievement of goals but development is a way of
repairing someone for new and greater challenges heshe will encounter in other more
demanding jobs..Employee performance

Employee performance is normally looked at in terms of outcomes. However, it can also be

Looked at in terms of behavior (Armstrong 2000). Kenney et al. (1992) stated that employee's

Performance is measured against the performance standards set by the organization. There are a

Number of measures that can be taken into consideration when measuring performance for
Example using of productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, quality and profitability measures

(Abuja 1992) as briefly explained hereafter. Profitability is the ability to earn profits consistently

Over a period of time. It is expressed as the ratio of gross profit to sales or return on capital

Employee (Wood & Sangster 2002). Efficiency and effectiveness - efficiency is the ability to

Produce the desired outcomes by using as minimal resources as possible while effectiveness is

The ability of employee to meet the desired objectives or targets(Stoner 1996). Productivity is
expressed as a ratio of output to that of input (Stoner, Freeman and Gilbert Jr 1995). It is a

Measure of how the individual, organization and industry convert input resources into goods and
Services. The measure of how much output is produced per unit of resources employed (Lipsey

1989). Quality is the characteristic of products or services that bear an ability to satisfy the stated

Or implied needs (Kittler & Armstrong 2002). It is increasingly achieving better products and

Services at a progressively more competitive price (Stoner 1996).

1.2 Statement of the problem

Training and development is a planned process that used to improve attitude knowledge , skill or
behavior through experience to achieve effective performance in a given range of activities
,however the question of how to create more trained and skilled employees in the organizational
success and employee performance improvement.

Now a day more organization concerns employee performance satisfaction, turnover rate, poor
performance, carelessness of employee and grievances highly trained employees can bring about
substantial increase in performance and substantial decrease in problem of the above.

Abyssinia bank in hosanna branch is one of the private organizations that have training and
development problem that able to affect employee performance. As me will be collect
information from the manager and employees of the bank training is given to employee per year
and the schedule or programs of training are within a short period of time. But there are so many
problems that lead to unexpected results those are lack of good trainer, lack of time and finance
for training, using irrelevant training method UN conditional environment and police are the
common problem in Abyssinia bank hosanna branch due to this problem the employee
performance on their job is not at the required level. As a result these problems affect the profit
of the organization because the profitability of every organization is highly determined
employee’s job performance and their trained skill on his or her specified career in all aspect of
the job. Therefore this study attempting to solve the problem and to answer the following
questions., employees are the indispensable asset and key element of gaining competitive
advantage of any organization, and training is essential tool for its actualization. That is, training
and development are believed to be indispensable strategic tools for effective individual and
organization’s performance Faille al. (2014) asserts that.,

The training programs were not responsive to the needs of the employees as their needs or
weaknesses have not been identified, and there was also no coordination among the different
stakeholders within these organizations. Healy (2001)

I study will be appraising the nature of training and development guaranteed by Abyssinia bank
moreover, these research will be examine the extent to which the training and development
programs of the bank are effective, responsive to the needs and expectation of its staff and how
these effects staff performance.
