ABSTRACT
It has being observed over time that there are problems associated with the quality of designs and execution of jobs within the Building Services Sector of the Engineering Industry. The sector is an important aspect of Engineering Practice in Nigeria and its performance can only be measured by the quality of its output which include good engineering designs and proper execution of projects. Hence, the focus of this research work is to investigate o n effective training as a tool for improving building services in engineering with particular inferences to mechanical and electrical engineering services in Aldeen Associates (A consulting engineering firm) as a case study. The methodology employed in carry out this research work was questionnaire and the data collected through the use of this instrument were analyzed using bar chart. It is of interest to this research work to know the type of relationship that exists between training and performance of technical staffs. Therefore, the training and capacity development shows that 16 respondents representing 40% of population agreed that they are been sent on regular training and capacity development program while the other 60% said they have not being on regular training program. This shows that more still needs to be done in-terms of regular training for the personnel which is very important in developing their skills and also as a motivating factor as a personnel will be de-motivated to work if his not given the opportunity to explore more opportunity in-terms of manpower training. The data on the impact of training on work performance shows that 25 respondents representing The research 82.5% agreed the various training programs they have undergone have excellently improve their work performance, while the remaining 12.5% disagreed on the fact that training has improve their work performance. vii The research also reveals that motivational factors such as adequate payment of salary, good working conditions, conducive physical environments, annual incentives, etc. are needed to sustained and improve the practice of building services as training will equipped a personnel to discharge h is duty as required but motivation will enhance the discharge of any responsibility assign to them. The Chi-square square analysis was also used to test for the proposed hypothesis which confirmed the alternative hypothesis of effective training as a tool for improving building services in engineering. More so, based on least square method, there is a strong positive correlation between the technical staffs trained to the forecasted numbers of building services design and supervision work that are available for a particular year in view.
