Abstract
This study was conducted with the objective of assessing the practices and problems of Human Resource Training and Development scheme in Selam Children`s Village at Addis Ababa. The study adopted the survey research method. The quantitative technique involved a questionnaire survey on first line managers and other non manager employees; while the qualitative technique involved an interview with middle and top level managers. The sampling technique employed to collect primary information was purposive sampling technique. Accordingly, a total of 193 top level managers, middle level managers, first line managers and employees were taken using availability sampling technique as an actual source of information. The data gathered were analyzed using descriptive survey. Instruments were pilot tested to make essential corrections and maintain their validity and reliability. After improving questionnaire on the basis of the feedback from the pilot test, it was administered to the respondents with the necessary explanations how to complete it. Finally the responses obtained through the questionnaires were coded, tabulated and analyzed. The findings of the study revealed that Selam Children`s Village has no well defined and written training and development policy, and the training given to employees is not based on training need analysis. Objectives and criteria are not set for providing Human Resource Training and Development. Although there are practices of using both on-the-job and 0ff-the-job training methods, the dominant method is on-the-job. Scientific training and development evaluation methods are not practiced yet. These implies that training and development policy is not practiced in Selam Children`s Village, the main reasons of not having training and development policy are; lack of relevant expertise, lack of guidelines, lack of concern with regards to its importance and lack of commitment of the top management. Training need analysis stage is the building block of a training programme and it is a tool used to identify the gap between the actual performance and the desired performance. On the contrary the findings of the study showed that Selam Children`s Village does not provide training and development based on need analysis. Training and development is given without objectives and criteria set before hand. By implication, trainees and trainers do not have objectives. Both on-the-job and off-the-job training method need to be practiced equally based on training and development need analysis.
