ABSTRACT: Training reinforced individuals to acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes through learning practises to achieve effective performance. HRD (Human Resource Development) theories support the significance of training, in which it is considered as one of the factors in accomplishing organizational objectives. Previous studies suggested that employee training is a significant predictor of employees’ job performance. This article, by using the qualitative approach and literature review method, tries to elaborate pertaining the relationship between training and job performance to enhance the HRD in general. The aspects of training purpose, employee performance, on-the-job training, theories on training, and training dimensions will be discussed and elaborated in the context to enhance the HRD. Study showed that on-the-job-training enhances employee performance and there were strong positive relationship between training and performance of employees. Training increases the efficiency and effectiveness of both the lecturers and the institution itself. Employee performance depends on many factors, but the most important factor is training. Knowledge workers can easily accomplish their tasks successfully with high self-sufficiency level. Therefore, management should build their interest in continuously training their employees according to requirement of working environment and positively perceiving and responding their feedback. It was recommended that all employees should be involved in training to enhance employee knowledge, skills, ability, competencies, and expected behaviour. This could also be done through support and participation.
