ELEVATING ORGANIZATIONAL EFFICIENCY: EMPOWERING TEACHING AND ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS THROUGH TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS

Abstract

The Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a strategic tool used to optimize teaching and administrative functions in educational institutions. This study addresses the common limitation of overlooking employees' diverse learning styles and unique needs in TNA processes, emphasizing the importance of a holistic and collaborative solution. The goal is to empower organizations to maximize the potential of their workforce through targeted training programs that recognize the continuous process of skill development. The study uses a descriptive-survey research design to determine the training requirements of both faculty and non-teaching staff at MCNP and ISAP. There are 106 administrative personnel and 184 teachers among the participants. Training Needs Assessment Tools and Hennessy-Hicks TNA questionnaires are used to collect data, ensuring that all information is collected. The Rank Distribution is used for systematic assessment, taking note of the relative ranking of different variables. The findings indicate that middle managers, teaching staff, and non-teaching staff all require specialized training. Statistics is the most important skill for middle managers, pointing out the importance of a thorough understanding of statistical concepts. Teachers express a strong desire for innovation and continuous learning. Non-teaching staff places a high value on research writing skills. Preferred in-house professional development opportunities show a high demand for workshop seminars, and face-to-face interaction is the preferred format for professional activities, implying that in-person interactions have distinct advantages.
