On-The-Job Training and Employee Commitment in Selected Money Deposit Banks in Port Harcourt, Nigeria

Abstract

The study examined the relationship between on the job training and employee commitment. The survey was based on five selected money deposit banks in Port Harcourt with a sample size of 210 bank staff selected from 460 staff. Questionnaires were administered to the staff. Data were collected. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to test the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between on-the-job training and employee commitment. Thus, it was recommended that banks should employ continuous on-the-job training programs, as this is capable of enhancing the commitment of employees to the organization in terms of compliance with rules and regulations and adherence to organizational ethics.
