The aim of this paper is to explore the influence of training and development on employee’s performance through different dimensions. Moreover, this study proposes a model in the area of human resource development to be used for testing and improving the performance of employees in the Indian travel and tourism sector. An integrated model was developed highlighting the relationship between the training and development and employee performance. Using the sample of 146 employees, structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to validate the hypothesized relationship by evaluating the responses of employees working in the Indian travel agencies. The findings of this study demonstrate a strong relationship between training and development and employee performance in the travel industry and also can be used by managers and HR professionals for organizing exclusive training programs for improving employee's performance based on the dimensions used in this paper. The present study provides an empirical and theoretical explanation of different dimensions associated with training and development and employee performance, especially in the Indian tourism industry.

The objective of this research was to explore the direct effect of employability and job characteristics on contextual performance of vocational high school principals mediating by organizational commitment. This research used some quantitative approach with survey method. The samples of this research included 216 principals selected randomly. The data were obtained by spreading questionnaires and analyzed with path analysis by supporting descriptive statistics. The results confirm that employability, job characteristics, and organizational commitment had significant direct effects on contextual performance; employability and job characteristics had significant direct effects on organizational commitment; employability and job characteristics had significant indirect effects on contextual performance mediating by organizational commitment. Therefore, a fit research model found about the effect of employability and job characteristics on contextual performance mediating by organizational commitment. This model can be used as a reference by researchers and practitioners in developing models of contextual performance in the future.

Improving employee and organizational performance has been the main concern of many organizations for decades and several factors have also been studied as predictors of employee performance in organizations. However, studies that comprehensively measured all the dimensions of employee performance that enhance organizational effectiveness are limited. This paper explored the influence of HRM practices on the employee performance in the Nigerian public sector. Using cross sectional method on 265 participants from local government areas, the findings revealed that HRM practices such as job rotation, job autonomy and career planning had a significant and positive influence on all the three dimensions of employee performance (task, contextual and adaptive performance).
