Background of the Study
Employee training is a key factor in enhancing service delivery, particularly in sectors that rely heavily on customer interaction, such as e-commerce. In organizations like Jumia Nigeria, which operates across diverse regions in the country, employee training programs are essential for improving the quality of service, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency. The growth of the Nigerian e-commerce market, including in states like Adamawa, has necessitated an increased focus on service delivery as a competitive advantage (Usman & Chukwu, 2024). Jumia’s customer service operations are crucial to maintaining customer loyalty and satisfaction, making the role of trained employees more significant in the company’s overall performance.
Adamawa State, with its distinct demographic characteristics, presents unique challenges in training employees to meet high service delivery standards, including limited access to educational resources and technological infrastructure. As Jumia expands its reach in this region, understanding the direct effect of employee training on service delivery is critical to developing effective strategies to improve customer experience and operational success (Garba & Raji, 2023). Although employee training has been linked to improved service quality in various industries, its specific impact on Jumia's service delivery in Adamawa remains under-explored.
This study aims to assess the impact of employee training on service delivery in Jumia Nigeria, particularly focusing on its Adamawa State branch, by examining how well-trained employees contribute to better customer service outcomes.

This is particularly important as service delivery is often seen as a competitive advantage in the e-commerce sector, yet challenges such as inconsistent training programs and varying levels of employee engagement persist (Bello & Musa, 2024). This study will address these gaps by investigating the link between employee training and service delivery at Jumia Nigeria in Adamawa State.
