Abstract:

Job training plays a crucial role in developing human capital and has a significant impact on employees’ productivity as well as the overall success of organizations. In today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing global business environment, it has become essential for companies to equip their workforce with relevant knowledge and skills through effective training programs. This paper examines the role of job training and its connection to employee work performance and organizational success. Grounded in Human Capital Theory and the Resource-Based View (RBV), the study integrates findings from prior research to examine how different types of training—such as on-the-job training, technical training, soft skills development, and continuous professional development—impact employee performance outcomes. These outcomes include increased productivity, innovation capability, job quality, and enhanced firm-level performance indicators such as profitability and competitiveness. The paper also highlights key challenges in implementing training initiatives, including training transfer, financial costs, employee motivation, and alignment of training content with organizational goals. Finally, the research emphasizes that fostering a culture of continuous learning and development is essential for sustaining long-term organizational growth, adaptability, and success in an evolving business landscape.
