Abstract
This study investigated the impact of in-service training and staff development on workers job performance and optimal productivity in Federal University Gashua, Yobe State, Nigeria. The study used survey research design. Three research questions and three hypotheses were generated and tested using questionnaire items adapted from Raja, et al (2014) but subjected to manipulation by the researchers which contained closed-ended type of questionnaire based on the research questions and hypotheses and was structured on a four point Likert scale. The instrument was administered using a simple random sampling to draw a sample size of 152 respondents from a population of 244 while 134 questionnaires were returned. Data generated were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multiple Regression Analysis to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the findings showed that in-service and off-the-job training had non-significant combined effects but significant relative effects on workers’ optimal job productivity. The study therefore recommended that Federal University Gashua should design proper and functioning in-service and off-the-job training of staff development programmes for their workers to boost their morale, enhance their performance and in addition ensure that workers’ training are conducted frequently to ensure they cope with changing technological environment and organizational climate in the University and the entire society at large.
