Abstract

This study examined on-the-job training and employee performance in the public sector. A structured
questionnaire was used to collect data from a stratified sample of 253 respondents selected using the
Taro Yamane sample size method in a population of 689 senior non-teaching personnel at Ambrose Alli
University in Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria. The data was examined using descriptive and inferential
statistics. The findings revealed that all the items studied scored higher than the 2.5 cut-off mean.
Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) analysis results revealed that induction training has a significant impact
on job satisfaction, whereas job rotation has a significant impact on employee commitment to work. The
study found that on-the-job training improves employee performance in the public sector. The study
advised that public organisations should use on-the-job training, specifically induction and job rotation,
on a regular basis to improve employee performance
