    Turkey Scholarships Research Proposal

    1. Subject of Study
    Master of Public Administration
    2. Working Title
    The Impacts of Training and Development on the Performance of Senior
    Administrative staff; A Case Study from Nangarhar University, Afghanistan.
    3. Analysis of the problem
    Nangarhar University is one of the top-ranked universities in the country,
    which recently got the highest marks in the quality assurance process from
    the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE), but it does not mean that there are
    no problems in the mentioned university. Nangarhar University undertakes
    some training and development programs for their lecturers and
    administrative staff as well, but the main problem is that there is no need for
    assessment for these programs, and candidates are being selected randomly,
    which finally resulting useless. Another problem is that they do not use
    modern and best training methods for their training and development
    programs and best lecturers as well. In this research, we will focus on need
    assessment and provide better need assessment for the training and
    development programs of Nangarhar University. Although the
    administrative staff is considered as supporting staff in the university, it has
    its own importance for getting a better reputation to the university and
    needs to be trained and developed for better execution of their delegated
    duties in order to achieve the strategic goals of the university.
    4. Research Methodology
    To achieve the aims and objectives enumerated in the preceding paragraph,
    the current research will use both quantitative and qualitative methods and
    will adopt the following methods using two sorts of data, primary and
    secondary. The primary data will be collected from the selected population
    by a survey and using a proper questionnaire. The secondary data will be
    collected from the official records of human resources management and the
    website and other publications of Nangarhar University which are related to
    the subject of study. Some popular books and other published literature will
    be used as secondary data and will adopt and use the available statistic data
    from Governmental and Non-Governmental organizations.
    5. General structure of the study
    In this research, we will try to cover the research in such structure which can
    answer all the demands of the study and cover all aspect of professional
    research in order to fulfill all the demands of Nangarhar University. The
    general structure of the study will be as follow:
    Abstract, Introduction, Background of Study, Problem Statement, Research
    Questions, Research Objective, Significance of the study, definitions of key
    terms, Literature Review, an overview of available training and development
    programs in Nangarhar University, Need assessment of training and
    development, Methods of training and development, Analysis of primarily
    collected data, Findings, Discussions, Limitation, and future studies,
    Conclusion, Suggestions, References, and Appendixes.
    6. Academic Contribution of the study
    Companies are experiencing great change due to new technologies, the rapid
    development of knowledge, globalization of business, and the development
    of e-commerce. Also, companies have to take steps to attract, retain, and
    motivate their workforces. Training is not a luxury; it is a necessity if
    companies are to participate in the global and electronic marketplaces by
    offering high-quality products and services. Training prepares employees to
    use new technologies, function in new work systems such as virtual teams,
    and communicate and cooperate with peers or customers who may be from
    different cultural backgrounds.
    Nangarhar University is one of the top universities in the country and in order
    to maintain its ranking and reputation they will provide training and
    development programs to their lecturers and administrative and working
    staff. However, Nangarhar University provides training and development
    programs to their lecturers and introduces them to different programs such
    as Masters and Ph.D. in different countries around the world which will help
    in the career development of the teachers. But, there is no availability of such
    training and development programs to Senior Administrative and working
    staff. If these kinds of programs are available for senior administrative staff
    but there is no proper need assessment for these kinds of programs and
    candidates are selecting randomly. Thus, some research been done by
    various institutions but none of them are conducted in the country and do
    not cover the context of Afghanistan, there is a big gap in the field as well.
    Therefore, being a student of Nangarhar University, always this issue
    attracted me to do holistic research. This research will help Nangarhar
    University to promote the skills of its administrative staff and provide them
    with training and development programs that fulfill their needs and review
    the need assessment process.
    7. Literature Review
    Companies are experiencing great change due to new technologies, the rapid
    development of knowledge, globalization, and the development of e-
    commerce. Also, companies have to take steps to attract, retain, and
    motivate their workforces. Training is not a luxury; it is a necessity if
    companies are to participate in the global and electronic marketplaces by
    offering high-quality products and services. Training prepares employees to
    use new technologies, function in new work systems such as virtual teams,
    and communicate and cooperate with peers or customers who may be from
    different cultural backgrounds (Raymond A. Noe, Employees Training and
    Development, Seventh Edition).
    The essence of training and development is to have qualified people. These
    qualified people can be produced in two ways within an organization. First,
    those selected for jobs by the organization must be made familiar through
    orientation with the company’s objectives, activities, and with their specific
    jobs as well as to learn about their environment. Second, those within the
    organization can be trained and developed to bring out their full potential.
    Actually, these two approaches are both apart of the same process, since
    once an individual is selected, he must undergo some training and a
    development program must therefore be developed (Hicks et al, 1974:302).
    Sherman, Baggland, and Steven (1996) expressly indicated that the success
    of a training program depends more on the organization’s ability to identify
    training needs so that if trainees are unable to learn what they are to learn,
    then training has been unsuccessful. They further add that if trainees are
    unable to learn, it is probable that some of the important learning principles
    had been overlooked.
    Cooke (2000) explained performance as the achievement of specific tasks
    measured against predetermined or identified standards of accuracy,
    completeness, cost, and speed. Efficiency, effectiveness, profitability, and
    quality are measures considered when measuring performance (Ahuja,
    1992).
