Training and Development And Performance Of Nigerian Educational Sector

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of ethical climate (EC) on the link between training and development and organizational performance (OP). Resource Based View (RBV) stress that, internal resources play a vital role on OP, considering training and development as one of the dimension of HRM practices can be regarded as best internal resources influencing performance in organization. Some previous studies used group practices while others considered individual practice. Despite these studies, however, few studies have attempted investigating effect of training and development on OP. However, the mechanism through which training and development influence performance is not clearly explained in the literature, even though RBV highlighted that HRM system can indirectly leads to competitive advantage in organization through resource like ethics. This paper used EC as mediating variable on the link between training and development and OP to explain the original relationship. A quantitative survey approach was used; the data were collected from some selected ministries of education in Nigeria. A total of 181questionnaires were analyse using Smart PLS SEM 3.2.6. The statistical findings shown that EC mediates the relationship between training and development and OP. The study also suggested for future research
