TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT A WAY FORWARD FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: FROM INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Training and development play an essential role in promoting organizational sustainable development. This study focuses on the banking sector staff in major cities of Afghanistan and identifies two key dimensions of training and development employee productivity and performance as critical factors contributing to sustainable development. The research was conducted using a structured questionnaire distributed among staff members from 10 different banks, with a total sample size of 70 employees. Out of these, 59 completed questionnaires were successfully collected and analyzed. The findings reveal a positive relationship between training and development and both employee productivity and performance. The results validate the proposed study model and support all the research hypotheses, highlighting the importance of training and development initiatives in achieving organizational sustainability within the Afghan banking sector.
