Abstract
This study investigates the impact of training on employees' development perceptions and the influence of the said perceptions on employees' job-related attitudes and behavior in the Accountant General Office in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The current study is an effort to emphasize the importance of training and promoting the perceptions of employee development within the public sector organizations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in particular, and in Pakistan, in general. The study analyses the mediating effect of employees’ development in the relationship of training with the organizational outcomes i.e. organizational commitment, employee motivation, job performance, turnover intentions and job satisfaction. To analyze the collected data stratified random sampling technique has been employed through statistical technique of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results demonstrate that employee development perceptions have a direct and positive impact on enhancing organizational commitment, employee motivation, job performance, and job satisfaction; while, negatively affect the employees’ turnover intentions. The study has practical as well as theoretical implications. The results are expected to help policy makers to rehash their policies by encompassing the approaches that facilitate the promotion of perceptions of employee development and their fruitful outcomes for the effectiveness of the organization. The study will also help researchers in strengthening their level of understanding of these relationships. Replication of the study may help to validate the hypothesized constructs and their consequent application in the organizations that share somewhat similar organizational structure.
