Abstract

Education and training have become the most adopted and prioritised activities in many organisations in today's 21st century. This is because employees need to be innovative and constantly equipped with skills and knowledge based on the dynamism and competitiveness of the market environment. Few studies have linked education and training to innovation, though none attempted to include the contingency variable that would bring more insights on the nature of this relationship. Therefore, this study attempted to include the variable of 'quality' as a contingency variable to determine if it influences this association considering that the 21st century is mainly centred on quality. The study's sample data were collected from some employees in TAZARA management and analysed using Jamovi. The results present that quality results completely mediate the association between education and training, and important innovations.
