Abstract

The determination of the influence of age and gender on the relationship between human resources training and job performance of workers in the hospitality industry is the purpose of the study. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, two research hypotheses were adopted for the study. The instrument used for the study is a questionnaire which was the tool for collecting data from a sample of (250) workers engaged in rendering services in the hospitality sector in the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja. Analysis of variance and independent t – test were the statistical tools used to analyze the data collected from the study. The results of the study indicated that age has a significant influence on the relationship between employee training and job performance. The study also indicated that gender also has a significant influence on the relationship between employee training and performance. The study based on these findings concluded that age and gender should be given due consideration when employee training is being planned in order to achieve optimal employee’s performance (productivity, service quality, and job satisfaction).
