RELATIONSHIPS AMONG TRAINING, EMPLOYEES' PERFORMANCE, SATISFACTION, AND TURNOVER

Abstract

: Training and personal development programs (TPDPs) positively impact the employees’ skills and knowledge, impelling the organizational performance. Thus, TPDPs are responsible for improving overall performance, productivity, and profitability. In this paper, we approach relationships among training, employees' performance, satisfaction, and turnover within private and public organizations in Romania from an empirical point of view. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to determine the relationships among research variables, obtained by applying a questionnaire to employees of organizations that have conducted TPDPs. The research results show a positive influence of TPDPs on employee performance and satisfaction and a negative influence on employees' turnover rate.
