Constraints to Proper Administrative Staff Training in Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, Nigeria

Abstract

The study examined the constraints to training programmes offered to administrative staff of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria. The primary data were sourced from respondents with the aid of key informant interview (KII) administered on the Administrative Officers in charge of Staff Training and the officer in charge of Budget & planning section. The secondary data was generated from records obtained from the Training and Development section as well as Budget and Planning section of the Registry in the University.

It was discovered that there were constraints to proper administrative staff training and development programmes.  One of the constraints is late arrival of invitation fliers from the organizers of training programmes as well as delay in obtaining funds from the Bursary department even after necessary approval. It was established that LAUTECH do sponsor training programmes only that there is always room for improvement.  It is therefore suggested that more people should be allowed and encouraged to attend training programmes that is relevant to their jobs as frequently as possible to enhance better performance and reduce staff turnover.
