Effects of training on Libyan bank employees’ performance mediated by job satisfaction and motivation

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to investigate the effects of training on employees’ job performance mediated by their organizational commitment in Libyan banks. A quantitative re-search design has been adopted to conduct this study by investigating 426 valid responses col-lected from face to face questionnaire survey. The respondents were selected from 45 branches of banks located in Tripoli of Libya using simple random sampling method. IBM SPSS (version 25) and SmartPLS (version 4) statistical programs have been used to analyze the data and vali-date the proposed hypotheses. This study finds that training has a positive and significant effect on employees’ organizational commitment, whereas it has no effect on employees’ job perfor-mance. Furthermore, employees’ organizational commitment has a full mediation effect be-tween training and employees’ job performance. The outcome from this research has contribut-ed to new practical insights. The study concludes that Libyan banks that are seeking to enhance their employees' performance through training practices should integrate to evaluate their job performance and specifically focus on their organizational commitment attributes.
