Abstract:

This empirical study explores the linkage between employee training. Job satisfaction, and job performance using data from 170 employees. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) through AMOS software validates the measurement model and examines hypothesized relationships. The model shows an excellent fit (X2 /df =1.314, CFI= .987, TLI= .984, RMSEA= .043). Results reveal that training significantly influences job performance both directly and indirectly, with job satisfaction mediating the effect. All constructs demonstrate strong reliability, validity, consistency, reinforcing the theoretical framework that effective training and satisfaction improve performance. This study provides valuable insights for HR development, organization behaviour and performance management research.
