AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING, A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON PUBLIC BANKS

Abstract

The subject matter of this paper work focuses on to examine the effectiveness of training and
how employees perceive training in the public sector banks. The paper also attempts to
determine the training needs of the employees. Quantitative method through questionnaire
survey is used for data collection in which questionnaires are distributed among 60 bank
employees.
The study is carried out in public sector banks of Haliyal (Uttara Kannada district). Two
hypothesis were formulated and tested using various statistical measures. Causal analysis is
used to identify the relationship between different dimensions of training with the help of
correlation tools.
The results of the study revealed that there is a positive correlation between the dimensions of
training program- effective determination of training needs and trainee performance and overall
training effectiveness which is significant at 0.01 level. This indicates that effective
determination of training needs and trainee performance will increase the effectiveness of the
training & development program. Therefore, to reap the complete advantage of training
initiatives also as development programs, training needs should be done more professionally in
conjunction with individuals involved alongside human resource personnel. Banks need to
identify what is lacking and what needs to be changed. This will go a long way to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of employee’s performance and thus an aid to human resource
personnel to design good training and development programs to suit their work force
