Abstract
This study examines the impact of on-the-job training (OJT) on job performance. Variables were selected from existing research studies to assess the effects of OJT on job performance of employees. The researcher uses database of 10 telecom companies situated in Islamabad region for analysis and determines that training has both a positive and a significant effect on both wage growth and change in job performance scores of workers. As implied by the model, employer-financed training is positively related to wage growth and job performance which shows the robustness of the relationship between training and worker productivity. OJT increases the skill level of workers and become more productive by which they deserve higher demand in the market. Organizations offer higher wages to hire them because of their higher skill levels. This research finding provides several important indicators that will influence the way economists and managers think about the relationships between OJT and wages and job performance
