Training and Predictability of University Teachers’ Job Performance: Empirical Evidence from Ghana

Abstract

This study sought to determine whether training significantly influence the job performance of university teachers. The researcher utilized descriptive survey design and collected primary data from lecturers of five universities in Ghana. Findings indicate significant positive relationship between training and job performance. Furthermore, training was found to be predictors of the teachers’ task and organisational citizenship performance. This study recommends that management of universities should provide healthy environment for learning and growing for teachers and offer more opportunities for training of teachers who exhibit high proclivity for organisational citizenship behaviour.
