Abstract

The objective of this research work is to examine the impact of workforce development on organizational effectiveness. This study was conducted in the public-sector organizations in Pakistan. The study targeted the perceived work force development programs in the selected public-sector organizations managing and carrying out heterogeneous work functions within twin cities; Rawalpindi and Islamabad in Pakistan. The stratified random sampling technique was adopted. The sample was mainly categorized into nine public-sector organizations. The data for this study was collected from 450 employees but only 371 questionnaires were completed and analyzed, (consisting of entry level, mid-career level and top management level employees) of different public-sector organizations through a specifically designed questionnaire. The results show that there is a positive relationship between workforce development and organizational effectiveness.
