Targeted Training and Organizational Survival of Tertiary Health Institutions in the South-South of Nigeria
Vol.6 Issue 3
This paper examined the relationship between targeted training and the survival of tertiary health institutions in the South-south of Nigeria. The study examined the influence of targeted training on measures such as market share, adaptability and organizational growth – with the discussion premised on the human capital theory, which was adopted as the theoretical framework for the study. The study was designed as a correlational design with data sourced primarily from 68 senior staff of 6 public health tertiary institutions in the South-south of Nigeria. The tests for the related hypotheses revealed significant correlations between targeted training and the measures of organizational survival (market share, adaptability and organizational growth). In view of the findings, it was concluded that the implementation of targeted training practices increases the employees’ knowledgeability of the job through enhanced procedural knowledge in such a way that enhances organizational outcomes, such as increased market share, corporate adaptability and general growth of public health institutions in the south-south of Nigeria.
