The College of Administrative Sciences has organised its sixth research seminar series on 14 April 2016. A presentation was delivered by Dr Mohammad Al Aghbari, a faculty member at the department of Business Administration and chaired by the Vice Dean of the College of Administrative Sciences Dr Ramzi Nekhili, over a research topic titled “E-training and Employees’ Performance: A Practical Study on the Ministry of Education in the Kingdom of Bahrain”.

The research topic emanates from a recently published paper jointly written with a Master student in human resources and Dr Atteia. The research benefited from the affiliation of one researcher to the ministry of education and where e-training has been prioritized over the traditional training adopted long ago. In order to identify the impact of e-training on employees’ performance, the research has undertaken an analytical descriptive approach upon a questionnaire distributed to 194 employees working at the Ministry of Education.

The findings of the research concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between e-training and employees’ performance with a significant correlation coefficient of 58.6%. Further, the results indicated that there are statistical differences in terms of demographic variables such as (qualification, and job experience).
