Training Methods and Their Effectiveness in Employee Learning: An Empirical Study at New Mak Technology

Employee training has become a critical lever for organizational competitiveness, particularly in technology-driven firms where the half-life of technical skills is increasingly short. This study investigates the training methods employed at New Mak Technology and evaluates their effectiveness in enhancing employee learning outcomes. Using a descriptive research design, primary data were collected from 150 employees through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using percentage analysis and chi-square tests. Results reveal that 80% of employees have participated in training programs, with on-the-job training identified as both the most preferred (30%) and the most effective method (33.3%). A significant majority (70%) perceive training as improving job performance and knowledge retention. Chi-square analysis confirms a statistically significant association between gender and perceptions of training impact on job performance (p=.002) and knowledge retention (p=.008). Key recommendations include adopting a blended training approach, strengthening feedback mechanisms, and customizing programs by role and experience level. The findings offer actionable guidance for HR practitioners seeking to optimize training investments in technology organizations.
