Abstract
This study centers on assessing the effects of manpower training and job motivation on the performance of workers in the automotive industry of Cagayan de Oro City. The respondents of the study consisted of randomly selected employees of six (6) of the seven major car dealers within Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental. Sets of questionnaires are used to measure the effects of training and motivating employees on the job performance of workers in the automotive industry of Cagayan de Oro City. The ANOVA is used to assess the reliability of the instrument through the use of the SPSS software, also known as the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. To answer Problem Statements 1 and 2, the simple frequency distribution is used. ANOVA is used to compare the variables for Problem Statement 3. Based on the results, most employees were relatively new who have been with their company for the last four years. Training for computerized automobile servicing was believed to be necessary in the very near future. Training was seldom and employees were more motivated by their job security and status. Training was seldom provided and was usually on a selective basis, especially for those at the supervisory level. In this study, the level of manpower training was not found to be significant while the level of job motivation served as a key predictor of the employees’ job performance. This may be attributed to the fact that job motivation has a greater impact on the employees’ job performance, which may have overshadowed the impact of manpower training on the employees. The employees did not only need knowledge and skills for their assigned jobs, but also the motivation to do the jobs. This meant higher motivation meant higher job performance.
