Abstract:
This study set out to assess the effect of capacity building on employee
performance in the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly, Ghana. There were
four specific objectives which the study aimed to achieve and these include to
determine the impact of financial capacity building on employee performance,
to assess the effect of administrative capacity building on employee
performance, to determine the impact of training on employee performance
and to analyse the combined effect of capacity building on organizational
performance. The study was based on the views of 175 workers from the study
area. Linear and multiple regression analyses were used to establish the
influence of capacity building on employee performance. The results show
that capacity building dimensions such as financial and administrative had a
positive and significant influence on employee performance. Again, training
and development had a positive and significant influence on employee
performance. Results from multiple regression also suggest that capacity
building traits greatly influenced employee performance. It was
recommended that management of Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly should
design both direct and indirect forms of capacity building in order to enhance
employee performance.
