Abstract: This paper assessed the effect of training and development on employee performance using Bank BIC as
the case study. The study focused on the objectives which sought to assess the effect of training and development
on employee performance at Bank BIC, to determine the training and development practices and purposes at
Bank BIC, and to determine the training and development policy at Bank BIC Namibia. A mixed research method
was used with a sample size of 35 respondents. The study found that the majority (59.09%) of the respondents
agreed that training and development are improving their job performance at the Bank BIC. The majority (50
percent) of the respondents strongly agree that training and development are important for growth at the Bank
BIC. The majority (54.55 percent) of the respondents agree that training and development have improved their
morale. The majority (50 percent) of the respondents on the job training is an efficient tool for learning new skills
and improving current skills. The majority (40.91 percent) of the respondents agree that the training and
development that employees received is relevant to their work. The majority (59.09 percent) of the respondents
indicated that there was no specific training schedule at the Bank BIC. The majority (59.09 percent) of the
respondents indicated that the objective of training and development at the Bank BIC is to improve performance.
The majority (86.36 percent) of the respondents indicated that Bank BIC uses on-the-job training and that the
training and development policy at Bank BIC entails involving all the employees in the training program and
making them aware of the objectives of the training program. The study recommended that Bank BIC's training
and development practices should be reviewed regularly, with an appropriate assessment of the organization's
needs and identification of individuals' skills, knowledge, and educational backgrounds. On the other hand, the
organization creates appropriate training methods for employees based on their abilities and educational
backgrounds. The training and development program should be related to the needs of the employees and should
be matched to the objectives of the organization and the training should be chosen based on a proper need
assessment. This allows the organization to determine whether employees are comfortable with their jobs and
work environments, as well as how they deliver quality service
The document is a study that analyzes training practices and their impact on employee productivity at Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) in India. It reviews literature on training and development. LIC provides various training programs for employees, including standard programs, role orientation courses, and sales training. The study aims to examine differences in employee perceptions of training based on gender, designation, and education level. A questionnaire was administered to 250 LIC employees, and statistical analysis was used to analyze the data. The results show that employee training at LIC is average and perceptions do not differ significantly based on demographics. Recommendations include ensuring all employees receive necessary training and properly analyzing training's contribution to organizational effectiveness.

Globally, the number of startup companies has rapidly expanded during the last 5-8 years. Offering
products and/or services that greatly enhance the lives of its clients is a major focus for these firms. In India,
local and federal government initiatives have provided new enterprises and entrepreneurs with much
momentum and assistance, helping India become the world's top startup location. The Government of India
(GOI) launched the "Startup India" campaign in 2015 to promote entrepreneurship and support businesses to
achieve this goal (Babu, S., Sridevi, K.,2019). An IBM Center for Business Value and Oxford Economics study
in 2018 found that 90% of Indian companies fail within the first five years of operation. Potential difficulties
that startups may run across, both generally and specifically in the Indian market, have been described by
several authors.

advantage
The document summarizes research on nonlinear correlation coefficients on manifolds. It defines a new nonlinear correlation coefficient called SEVP, proves some of its basic properties including that it ranges from 0 to 1. It discusses how to measure nonlinear correlation between variables on a manifold and reviews common dimensionality reduction methods for manifolds. The goal is to preserve nonlinear structure as much as possible by projecting onto the orthogonal complement of tangent spaces. An optimization problem is formulated to find the linear space with the largest angle to all tangent spaces, transforming it into an eigenvalue problem to solve.

Even though economists and academics have been studying money laundering for many years, there
are still gaps in the research because there is a dearth of trustworthy data on the activity as well as an absence
of specific sources and methods of collection in government-based reporting. The Walker-Unger gravity model

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address

Abstract: This study investigated training and development strategies on career growth of employees in
commercial banks in Nigeria via survey research design. Specifically, the units of analyses are employees of
four (4) commercial banks in four cities in Delta State. The instrument of data collection was questionnaire
which was administered to one hundred and nine (109) respondents, out of which one hundred and three (103)
were fully retrieved. The study used the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient in validating the research
instrument, yielding a Cronbach Alpha of 0.66 in part one and 0.62 in part two. Data obtained were analyzed
using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Findings showed insignificant negative links for training and
development strategies (case study training, job rotation and action learning training) and career growth of
employee of commercial banks. The negative signs attached to the training and development strategies variables
may be connected with the fact that commercial banks are yet to commit funds needed to enhance employee
career growth. Consequently, employees have suffered decreased levels in career growth due to the training and
development strategies used by them. In view of the above, it was recommended among others that management
of commercial banks need to increase investments in employee training and development in order to positively
promote career growth.

I. Introduction
The banking sector is considered as an important tier of a country’s economic system and Nigeria is no
exception. To sustain and realize productivity in the banking sector, commercial banks have been compelled to
ensure increased quality of service, thus making them to engage in strategies of training and development aimed
at promoting career growth. Nawaz and Khan (2011); Abdullahi, Gwadabe and Ibrahim (2018) observed that
ensuring increased quality of service, sustainability and productivity of commercial banks require highly-
motivated and committed workforce. When the workforce is well motivated, they become happy and put in
their best. Notably, employees are the manpower of an organization and there is need for them to be adequately
trained for career development.
Ashish and Jain (2019) explained that training and development have been an ongoing process as they play a
vital role in improving the productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of employees. It is important that training
and development programmes benefit both employees and employers in an organization. The end point of an
employee is career advancement, and the organization becomes profitable. Additionally, training and
development increased morale, and increased the organization's stability and flexibility for the future. The only
way to keep up with competition in the marketplace is to develop a versatile workforce that will add value to
your workforce and only with the help of talented people.
The most important contributing factor to organizational development is its human resources. How
organizational manage the work force will determine the quality and quantity of contribution of the employees
to success and failure of that organization. According to Adewoye, Abioro and Adele (2017), since employees
2. Training and Development Strategies and Employees’ Career Growth in Nigeria: A Case of…

are important to an organization, there is need for organization to strategize measure to train and develop the
workforce. When this is done, employees are sure for career growth in the organization. Al-Karim (2019)
argued that career development and training are two related process that increase the capacity of employee
performance as to contribute to organization’s mission. Okoro and Ihenyen (2020); Okoro and Egbunike (2016)
contended that performance is a vital tool for companies. Training involves skill acquisition, the process of
teaching and learning of skill or job description. It covers the adoption of experts in human resources
management to design and delivery lesson in a way of transfer of knowledge to employee in certain knowledge
and skill to improve their current jobs, (Mohammed, 2016).
Training and development should not be a learning-planning experience that teaches employees how to perform
current and future tasks. This can be directed to the fact that the training and development of employees is
aimed at the profitability of the organization and the growth of the employee's career. Employee career growth
is the continual professional growth of employees through prior training and development. The first career is a
pattern of work experience that spans a person's entire life and is usually considered in relation to several stages.
In a deeper understanding of careers, this is the concept of career growth. Al-Karim (2019); and Arubayi (2012)
opined that career growth is a continuous development process which involves the acquisition of experience and
skills by an employee in a specific work area.
A career in the general sense is the amount of work an employee performs during his or her lifetime (Al-sharafi,
Hassan & Alam, 2018). Achieving organizational career growth for employees requires implementing specific
strategies. Training and development strategies for an employee's career advancement depend on learning and
development remuneration increases, post-learning and development promotions, post-training guidance and
competency certification. Again, there is a perception that employees’ growth in the banking industry is not
always guaranteed as cases of retrenchment and sack are frequent in the industry. As such, whenever, the
trainings are organized by human resource department for the employees, it is for them to gain personal
experience and skills. It is essential that training and development are planned with strategy for impacting on
the employees’ career growths. It is on essence, that the study investigated the effect of training and
development strategies on employee career growth of commercial banks in Nigeria.
II. Review Of Related Literature
2.1 Training and Development
Training and development refers to a planned effort by an organization to facilitate the learning of job-
related behaviour on the part of its employees’. Training and development is also a means to provide employees
with relevant skills so as to improve the efficiency of their organization (Amushila & Bussin, 2021; Nadler,
2014). Training and Development is critical to any organization because it provides the skills, knowledge and
attitudes needed now and in the future. There are two (2) forms for training: on-the-job and off-the-job.
On the job training is a method of engaging employees when they are on the job; the aim of which is to equip
the workforce with the usual working situation. On the other hand, off the job training is a training method
undertaken at a site, away from actual workplace. The rationale behind is to offer a stress-free environment to
the workforce where they can concentrate on learning new ways of doing or carrying out tasks in the workplace
(Nadler, 2014).
2.2 Career Growth
Career growth in an organization is a subject that covers employee future. Career growth is an
individual development strategy that covers activities that improves consciousness, and uniqueness,
development of talent and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, improve the quality of life
and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations. Alhmoud and Rjoub (2019) stated that career growth
which is the lifelong process of managing employment work experience within or between organizations takes
place over the course of a person’s entire life. The concept involves formal and informal activities for
developing others in roles such as teaching or guidance and counselling. When personal development takes
place in the context of instructions, it refers to the methods, programmes, tools, techniques and assessment
system that support human development at the individual level in organization.
The concept of career growth and development had been fragmented. The pace of change driven by technology
and economic globalization means that organizations are constantly exposed to change. They are less willing to
make long-term commitment to individual whey they do; it is in exchange for flexibility about roles and tasks
the individual will perform (Weng, McElroy, Morrow & Liu, 2010; Daud, 2014; and Spector, 2003). Weng and
Hu (2009) proposed that employee career growth could be captured by four factors: career goal progress,
3. Training and Development Strategies and Employees’ Career Growth in Nigeria: A Case of…
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 3
professional ability development, promotion speed, and remuneration growth. This multi-dimensional
conceptualization according to Weng et al(2010) implies that career growth is both a function of the employees'
own efforts in making progress toward their personal career goals and acquiring new skills and the
organization's efforts in rewarding such efforts, through promotions and salary increases.
2.3 Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework of this study was based on social learning and action learning theories; these
theories are briefly discussed as follows:
- Social Learning Theory
Social Learning Theory has been developed in the last 15years primarily to describe and predict how
people learn from observation of models by Albert Bandura in 1963. Learning from models has been shown to
be more efficient than trial and error learning under many conditions. According to Social Learning Theory,
observational learning is controlled by the processes of attention, retention, and reproduction. It emphasizes the
importance of observing, modeling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others.
Rewards operate to affect performance of behavior not learning. In addition to motivating behavior by directly
rewarding it, a person may perform behavior that he observes another is rewarded for (extrinsic reward), and he
may learn to reward himself for appropriate behavior.
From Social Learning Theory, a number of rules can be derived for optimal training conditions.
Twenty statements about conditions for effective training are given to illustrate the application of Social
Learning Theory to industrial training. For example: "When modeling a task, give the learner a verbal model to
guide performance. The best verbal models will give rules for the responses of that task, but will be as simple as
possible and easy to remember. The trainee is most likely to learn to reward himself for a good job performance
if he comes to feel that the work he is performing is very important to him and to the company and that he has
significant control of the work outcomes. Social Learning Theory has been applied to industry in two ways: a
training method based on Social Learning Theory has been used to teach managers to deal more effectively with
human relations problems occurring on the job and social learning theory have been used to predict which
subordinates will imitate the behavior of their supervisors in-order to grow. It is against this background that the
current study seeks to adopt this theory as it relates to the study.
- Action Learning Theory
The theory of action learning is founded in a phenomenological paradigm, with the assumption that
“knowledge is socially constructed and created from within, and for, a particular group and context”. Within this
paradigm, learning is assumed to be a social process, facilitated by questioning insight and reflection on action,
with less emphasis placed on surfacing generalisable truths and more on surfacing the honest accounts of
participants, relative to their current context and issues.
In this way, action learning seeks to make “meaning from experience” for the purpose of creating a different
relational reality. All forms of action learning share the elements of real people resolving and taking action on
real problems in real time and learning while doing. Aleem and Bowra (2020) pointed out that the most
powerful forms of action learning balance the elements of learning with elements of action.
III. Research Methods
In this study, the survey research design (quantitative method via administration of questionnaire) was
employed. The choice of this design is to enable the research obtain the relevant data needed in assessing the
effects of training and development strategies on career growth of employees in selected banks from four cities
in Delta State, Nigeria (Warri, Sapele, Ughelli, Abraka). The study population comprised of all the employees in
Zenith Bank Plc., Fidelity Bank Plc., Guaranty Trust Bank Plc., and United Bank for Africa Plc in Warri,
Sapele, Ughelli, and Abraka, Delta State of Nigeria. Thus, the study population comprised 109 employees of
the above listed banks.
Given the study population, the entire 109 bank employees were used for the analysis; consequently, there is no
need for sampling as the entire 109 employees formed the sample of the study, out of which one hundred and
three (103) were fully retrieved. A structured questionnaire designed on a four points adjusted Likert scale was
used (strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree). The study used Cronbach Alpha reliability
coefficient technique in validating the research instrument. In order to achieve this, thirty (30) respondents
which do not form part of the test group was administered the questionnaire.
4. Training and Development Strategies and Employees’ Career Growth in Nigeria: A Case of…
International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM) Page 4
Data collected were analyzed using Cronbach Alpha method to establish the internal consistency of the
instrument. The instrument yielded Cronbach Alpha of 0.66 in part one and 0.62 in part two. Thus, the
researcher considered the instrument to be appropriate for the study, since the Cronbach Alpha coefficients
exceed 0.5 as recommended by Cronbach (Creswell, 2013, cited in Odiri, 2016; and Odiri, 2019).
The descriptive (mean, standard deviation, and correlation), post-estimation (variance inflation factor) and
inferential (simple regression) statistical techniques were used in analyzing the data obtained in the field survey.
To validate the responses of respondents, a mean benchmark was established; a mean benchmark of 2.00 was
established such that a mean that falls below 2.00 cut-off, invalidates a particular response while a mean that is
above 2.00 cut-off, validates a particular response. The model of the study is given as follows:
cargrow= β0+ β1actlearni+ ut - eq. 1
cargrow= β0+ β2jobrotsi + ut - eq. 2
cargrow= β0+ β3csttr+ ut - eq. 3
Where: β1, β2, β3> 0; cargrow= Career growth (dependent variable); actlearn= action learning; jobrots= Job
rotation strategy; csttr= case study training strategy; Ut = Error term; Β = Intercept; β1 – β3 = Coefficient of the
independent variables. This analysis was done via STATA 13.0, statistical software version.

Table 1 reports the demographic data of respondents and it was shown that 68(66.02%) are males while
35(33.98%) are females. The age distribution of respondents revealed that 43(41.75%) fall within the age
brackets of 26-30years, 42(40.78%) fall within age brackets 31-35years, while 13(12.62%) and 5(4.85%) are
within age brackets 36-40years and 40years and above respectively.
Also, the department distribution of respondents showed that 66(64.08%) were in the marketing department
while 37(35.92%) were in the operations department. The work status of respondents supports the fact that
majority of the respondents had worked for their banks for 11-20years representing 46(44.46%) while the
remaining respondents had worked for 1-10years, 33(32.04%) and 21years and above, 24(23.30%).

The summary of descriptive statistics in Table 2 showed that career growth (CARGROW) had a mean value of
3.26 with a standard deviation of 0.22, indicating the value by which deposit money banks career growth
deviates from mean among the research subjects. The skewness revealed that career growth is positively skewed
with a coefficient of 0.47. Moreover, case study training strategy (CSTTR)depicts a mean value of 3.3 with a
standard deviation of 0.25, suggesting the value by which CSTTR deviates from mean among the research
subjects; the skewness implies that CSTTR is positively skewed with coefficient of 0.38. Similarly, job rotations
(JOBROTS) had a mean value of 3.3 with a standard deviation of 0.21; implying the value by which JOBROTS
deviates from mean among the research subjects and skewness showed that JOBROTS is positively skewed with
a coefficient of 0.38.
Additionally, action learning training and development strategy (ACTLEARN) had a mean value of 4.04 with a
standard deviation of 0.23; implying the value by which ACTLEARN deviates from mean among the research
subjects and skewness showed that ACTLEARN is positively skewed with a coefficient of 0.29. The kurtosis
values for CARGROW (2.43), CSTTR (2.52), JOBROTS (3.03) and ACTLEARN(2.39) are clear indication that
the variables are normally distributed since the kurtosis values are closer to 3. Remarkably, all variables
(CARGROW, CSTTR, JOBROTS, ACTLEARN) beat the mean benchmark of 2.5; this validates the
respondents’ viewpoints that the questionnaire items are good metrics for assessing the impact of training and
development on employee career growth of the selected banks in Delta State of Nigeria.

In Table 3, the result showed that CSTTR, JOBROTS and ACTLEARN are negatively correlated to
CARGROW. However, the correlation matrix also revealed that no two explanatory variables of the study were
perfectly correlated, since none of the correlation coefficients did not exceeded 0.8 as recommended by Gujarati
(2003); the above position is further confirmed by the result of Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) for
multicollinearity test as shown below:

ACTLEARN 1.03 0.968230
JOBROTS 1.03 0.971141

Table 4 showed the multicollinearity tests, according to Gujarati (2003), multicollinearity problem is between
explanatory variables that may result to wrong signs or magnitudes in the model coefficients, and bias of
standard errors of the coefficients. The result of VIF = 1.02, which is less than the accepted VIF value of 10.0,
suggesting that there is absence of multicollinearity problem in the empirical models of the study.

In Table 5, the regression results was presented for case study training and employee career growth and it was
found that R-squared and adjusted R-squared were (0.0174%) and (0.0077%) respectively. This implies that the
independent variable explained about 0.77% of the systematic variations in the model for case study training and
employee career growth. The F-statistics (df=1, 101, f-ratio=1.79) with a p-value of 0.1843 showed that the
relationship is insignificant at 5 percent level. Hence, there is no significant relationship between case study
training and development and employee career growth. This finding disagrees with the results of Amos and

significantly affects employee careers growth.

V. Conclusion And Recommendations
Prior studies have shown that training and development are the driving forces of career growth for
employees, particularly in developed countries; this situation may be true or not for developing countries such as
Nigeria. Over the years, training and development has been seen as huge costs to the organization, thereby
making most organizations not to invest in the training and development of their workforce. For the few
organizations that have used training and development as strategies such as case study training and
development, job rotation training and development and action learning strategies to promote employee career
growth, have witnessed unprecedented growth in their productivity.
In this study, the impact of training and development strategies and employee career growth was
assessed and the study concludes that the training and development strategies (case study training and
development, job rotation training and development and action learning training and development strategies)
insignificantly and negatively affects employees career growth of banks in Warri, Sapele, Ughelli, and Abraka,
Delta State of Nigeria. Notably, the negative signs attached to the variables (job rotation training, case study
training and development and action learning training and development strategies) may be connected with the
fact that banks are yet to committed the funds or investments needed to enhance employee career growth.
Consequently, employees have suffered decreased levels in career growth due to the training and development
strategies (case study training and development, action learning training and development and job rotation
training and development strategies) that were use by them. In view of the findings of the study, the following
recommendations were given:
i. There is need for management of banks to increase the costs or investments in employee training and
development in order to positively promote career growth of employees.
ii. While few organizations still consider investments in training and development, the practice has not
been constantly carried out. Thus, management of banks should constantly engage employees in
training and development programmes in order to enable them fit into the new business world.
iii. As a matter of urgency, management of banks should consider using other training and development
strategies in order to further strengthen employee career growth and their ability to remain with the
bank.
