    Influence of Training on Employee Performance in Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies in Nairobi County, Kenya
    (International Research Journal of business and strategic management, 2025-07) Dalacha, Fardhowsa Mohamad; Nzioki, Susan; Munga, Jane
    The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of training on employee performance in Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (DT-SACCOs) in Nairobi County. The study aimed to determine how training initiatives impact employee skills, efficiency, and overall organizational outcomes. A descriptive research design was adopted, targeting 87 DT- SACCOs with 380 human resource employees as the unit of observation. Using Taro Yamane’s formula, 169 HR officers were randomly sampled, while 10 HR managers were purposively selected, resulting in a sample size of 179 participants. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, with triangulation applied to enhance validity. Descriptive statistics summarized the data, while regression analysis tested the relationship between training and performance. The findings revealed a strong positive relationship (R = 0.705) where training accounted for 49.7% of the variation in employee performance (p < 0.01). The study concluded that structured training significantly enhances employee competence, task efficiency, and service delivery. It recommended implementing comprehensive onboarding programs, continuous professional development, and tailored skill-building initiatives to sustain high performance levels in DT-SACCOs.
