This research delves into the intricate relationship between training initiatives, job involvement, and employee job performance within the operational landscape of the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) in Ahmedabad. The study employs use of quantitative surveys to explore the multifaceted dynamics at play. By focusing on the specific context of BRTS, this research tried to explore the impact of tailored training programs on employee engagement and subsequently on their job performance.
The correlation analysis revealed strong positive associations between Training and Job Performance, as well as between Job Involvement and Job Performance. Regression analyses reinforced these findings, indicating that the models accounted for a substantial portion of the variability in Job Performance on account of Training provided to the employees and very high portion of the variability for Job Involvement of the employees.
The study's outcomes highlight the significance of effective training programs and the cultivation of job involvement in optimizing employee job performance at Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited. Strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing these factors may prove instrumental in fostering a more productive workforce. It is important to note that while these findings offer valuable insights future research could delve into additional variables to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the other factors influencing employee job performance.
