Introduction Training has the distinct role in the achievement of an organizational goal by incorporating the interests of organization and the workforce (Stone R J. Human Resource Management, 2002). Now a days training is the most important factor in the business world because training increases the efficiency and the effectiveness of both employees and the organization. The employee performance depends on various factors. But the most important factor of employee performance is training.Training is important to enhance the capabilities of employees. The employees who have more on the job experience have better performance because there is an increase in the both skills & competencies because of more on the job experience The organizational performance depends on the employee performance because human resource 63 capital of organization plays an important role in the growth and the organizational performance. So to improve the organizational performance and the employee performance, traning is given to the employee of the organization.

Thus the purpose of this study is to show the impact of traning and the design of traning on the employee performance. Training & development increse the employee performance like the researcher said in his research that traning & development is an important activity to increase the performance of health sector organization (Iftikhar Ahmad and Siraj-ud-din, 2009).Another researcher said that employee performance is the important factor and the building block which increases the performance of overall organization(Qaiser Abbas and Sara Yaqoob).Employee performance depends on many factors like job satisfaction, knowledge and management but there is relatinship between traning and performance (Chris Amisano,2010).This shows that employee performance is important for the performance of the organizationand the and the traning & and development is beneficial for the employee to improve its performance.Thus the purpose of this study is to show the impact traning & development on the employee performance.

The main objective of our study is how the traning increase the employee performance. A researcher said that traning increase or develop the managerial skills (Robart T.Rosti Jr, Frank shipper, 1998).despite focusing on efficiency and cost control the spending on traning should increse because organization get more efficiency , effectiveness out of the traning and development (workforce special report, 2006) .This shows that traning increase the efficiency and the effectiveness of the organization. “I think people are talking more about performance and results and consequences.They are not necessarily doing more about it”, (Roger Kaufman Florida State University).From this it is clear that traning and development is the important factor.So the significance of our study is that the traning improves the organization performance.Traning is important for the Global Journal of Management and Business Research Abstract – Training and Development, On the Job Training, Training Design and Delivery style are four of the most important aspects in organizational studies.

The focus of current study is to understand the effect of Training and Development, On the Job Training, Training Design and Delivery style on Organizational performance. The back bone of this study is the secondary data comprised of comprehensive literature review. Four Hypotheses are developed to see the Impact of all the independent variables on the overall Organizational Performance. The Hypotheses show that all these have significant effect on Organizational Performance. These Hypotheses came from the literature review and we have also proved them with the help of literature review. Results show that Training and Development, On the Job Training, Training Design and Delivery style have significant affect on Organizational Performance and all these have positively effect the Organizational Performance. It means it increases the overall organizational performance. We also prove our Hypothesis through empirical data.

However, results are strongly based on the literature review.Results show that Training and Development,On the Job Training and Training Design and Delivery style have significant effect on Organizational Performance and all these have positively effect the Organizational Performance. July 2011 Raja Abdul Ghafoor Khan , Furqan Ahmad Khan ,Dr. Muhammad Aslam Khan © 2011 Global Journals Inc. (US) Impact of Training and Development on Organizational Performance July 2011 employees development and the employee development encourage self-fulfiling skills and abilities of employee,decreased operational costs,limits organizational liabilities and changing goals & objectives (Donald Nickels,M.A,2009). Literature Review II. Global Journal of Management and Business Research Volume XI Issue VII Version I 64 People learn from their practical experience much better as compare to bookish knowledge. On the job training reduces cost and saves time (Flynn et al., 1995; Kaynak, 2003; Heras, 2006).

It is better for the organizations to give their employees on the job training because it is cost effective and time saving (Ruth Taylor et al., 2004). It is good for organization to give their employees on the job training so that their employees learnt in a practical way (Tom Baum et al., 2007). Delivery style is a very important part of Training and Development (Carlos A. Primo Braga, 1995). Employees are very conscious about the delivery style Michael Armstrong, 2000). If someone is not delivering the training in an impressive style and he is not capturing the attention of the audience it is means he is wasting the time (Mark A. Griffin et al., 2000). It is very necessary for a trainer to engage its audience during the training session (Phillip seamen et al., 2005). Delivery style means so much in the Training and Development. It is very difficult for an employee to perform well at the job place without any pre-training (Thomas N. Garavan, 1997). Trained employees perform well as compared to untrained employees (Partlow, 1996; Tihanyi et al., 2000; Boudreau et al., 2001).

It is very necessary for any organization to give its employees training to get overall goals of the organization in a better way (Flynn et al., 1995; Kaynak, 2003; Heras, 2006). Training and development increase the overall performance of the organization (Shepard, Jon et al., 2003). Although it is costly to give training to the employees but in the long run it give back more than it took (Flynn et al., 1995; Kaynak, 2003; Heras, 2006). Every organization should develop its employees according to the need of that time so that they could compete with their competitors (Carlos A. Primo Braga, 1995). Human resource is the very important and the backbone of every organiztion and it is also the main resource of the organization.So organizations invest huge amount on the human resource capital because the performance of human resource will ultimatiley increase the performance of the organization. Performance is a major multidimensional construct aimed to achieve results and has a strong link to strategic goals of an organization (Mwita, 2000).

As the Mwita (2000) explanis that performance is the key element to acheieve the goals of the organization so to performance increase the effectiveness and effeciancy of the organization which is helpful for the acheivement of the organizational goals.But the question arise that how an employee can work more effectively and efficiently to increase the growth and the productivity of an organization(Qaiser Abbas and Sara Yaqoob). There are many factors which improves the work of the employee such as flexible scheduling, training etc. It is very necessary for the organization to design the training very carefully (Michael Armstrong, 2000). The design of the training should be according to the needs of the employees (Ginsberg, 1997). Those organizations which develop a good training design according to the need of the employees as well as to the organization always get good results (Partlow, 1996; Tihanyi et al., 2000; Boudreau et al., 2001). It seems that Training design plays a very vital role in the employee as well as organizational performance. a bad training design is nothing but the loss of time and money (Tsaur III. Theoretical framework and Lin, 2004).

To implement the study following dependent On the job training helps employees to get the knowledge of their job in a better way (Deming, 1982). and independent variables are shown in the theoratical Elements Training Design On The Job Training Delivery Style © 2011 Global Journals Inc. (US) IV DV Training And Development Organizational Performance Impact of Training and Development on Organizational Performance V. Methodology The study sample comprised of 100 employees of different organizations of Islamabad, capital of Pakistan. The sample is mixed like both male and female. The data is collected through a questionnaire consists of 15 questions. All questions are close ended questions with the use of a five point Likert scale consisted of strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree and strongly agree. All questionnaires were distributed and collected by hand from the offices of the organizations in the office timings. Ninety five questionnaires were collected after one weak. 95 of them gave the response to our questionnaire. After checking them 79 were found correct and the respond rate was 83%. These 79 questionnaires were included in the study.

The analysis of the questionnaire was undertaken using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). All mean and medians were calculated using SPSS. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the independent Discussion It is very necessary for the organization to design the training very carefully (Michael Armstrong, 2000). The design of the training should be according to the needs of the employees (Ginsberg, 1997). Those organizations which develop a good training design according to the need of the employees as well as to the organization always get good results (Partlow, 1996; Tihanyi et al., 2000; Boudreau et al., 2001). It seems that 65 Training design plays a very vital role in the employee as well as organizational performance. a bad training design is nothing but the loss of time and money (Tsaur and Lin, 2004). All these results prove our first Hypothesis which is H1: Training design has significant effect on the organizational performance. And it has a positive effect on the organizational performance.

It improves the organizational performance. As we see in the table that most of the means are in between the bracket of 4-5 and 3-4, it means that most of our respondents think that Training Design has significant affect on the organizational performance. This also proves our first hypothesis which is; H1: Training design has significant effect on the organizational performance. If we see the z-test value it lies in the critical region. It means the data and the results are significant of our first hypothesis. July 2011 Hypothesis development is very important because acceptance and the rejection of hypothesis show the significance of the study. On the basis of litrature review and above thoratical frame work we came to develop following hypothesis.

In the training & development organizational performance is also effected by the traning design.Therefore our first hypothesis is: H1: Training design has significant effect on the organizational performance. To increase the knowledge and skills in the job traning is given to the employees therefore our second hypothesis is: H2: On the job training has significant effect on the organizational performance. During training & development the delivery style of the person who is giving the traning also effects the organizational performance so our third hypothesis is: H3: Delivery style has significant effect on the organizational performance. By combinng the above mentioned hypothesis our fourth hypothesis is: H4: Training & development has significant effect on the organizational performance.
