| 4. | Description | Abstract | This study assessed the effect of training on employee productivity. The research was anchored on human capital theory, resource-based theory, and equity theory. The study adopted an explanatory research design. The target population of the study comprised 14 county governments of the Lake Region Economic Bloc in Kenya, from which 575 employees were selected. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. To determine the sample size, Fisher’s formula was used to arrive at a sample size of 257 employees. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of close-ended questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using inferential statistics. Inferential statistics comprised linear regression analysis. The linear regression results indicated that training (β = 0.698, p < 0.05) had a positive and statistically significant effect on employee productivity. The findings provide guidance to policymakers and county managers in improving HR strategies, enhancing staff performance, and boosting service delivery.
