EXPLORING THE ROLE OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT IN ENHANCING WORK PERFORMANCE IN PAKISTAN'S BANKING SECTOR

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of organizational commitment, career development possibilities, and training and development programs on employee performance in Pakistan's banking sector. The interrelations among these traits were examined using a quantitative methodology and survey data. The findings indicate that career progression is emerging as the foremost predictor of professional success, demonstrating a substantial level of internal consistency among the analyzed variables. Organizational Commitment slightly improves work performance. It is noteworthy that, whereas training and development initiatives bolster organizational commitment, there is scant evidence of a direct effect on employee performance.

The essential components of training and development programs that most significantly enhance work performance require further examination; organizational commitment may act as a mediating variable in this context. The results highlight the importance of a robust workplace culture and career development programs in enhancing productivity among banking employees in Pakistan. Essential components of training and development programs that most significantly enhance work performance require further examination; organizational commitment may act as a mediating variable in this context.
