Effect of Training and Development on Employee’s Behaviour: A Case Study of Dangote Transport Division

The present research paper reflects on how training and development in the Dangote Transport Division, a subsidiary of Dangote Group in Nigeria influence the behavior of employees. The research was developed with a mixed-methods study under which two hundred employees in different staff categories were used as the subjects of data collection using questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The analysis, confirmed by the Chi-square, shows that formal training has great effect of improving the competence, motivation, and productivity of employees as well as decreasing employees-turnover and accidents. The effectiveness is, however, hampered by some of the following challenges including favoritism, low motivation and infrequent training. The paper suggests the unemployment due to lack of skills and motivation in the work place by the Nigeria transport sector can be eliminated through proper trained programs that bear in mind the goals of the organization, an emphasis on merit and frequent performance appraisal leading to a skilled and motivated workforce that will enhance the performance of an organization.
