The relationship between training and employee empowerment: a case study of Kenya Electricity Generating Company Ltd. (Kengen)
Abstract
The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between training and
employee empowerment. It was a case study of the Kenya Electricity Generating
Company Ltd, (KenGen). A questionnaire was administered to 150 employees. A simple
random sampling technique was used to select the respondents company wide.
Pearson's Product Moment correlation technique was used to test the relationship
between training and employee empowerment. The correlation coefficient obtained from
the analysis was significant at r = 0.908, p<0.01. This implies a very strong relationship.
The main conclusion was that KenGen stands to gain by training its employees since this
increases their feeling of empowerment.
