Abstract

Staff members who are goal-oriented, well-trained, and skilled tend to have a favorable outlook on their workplace, which in turn encourages them to stay with the company for a long time. Finding out what makes workers more emotionally invested is crucial. In addition to looking at how training affects affective commitment, this study aims to determine how goal orientation moderates the training-commitment link. Primary sources of data were used in the investigation. This study employed a cross-sectional design. The 279 teachers from primary schools that were polled were given an adjusted questionnaire. These educators hail from several public elementary schools in the Peshawar district and teach in (BPS-12, 14 & 15). The statistical software SPSS version 25 is used for data analyses. According to the results, there is a positive and statistically significant correlation between training and affective commitment, with goal orientation serving as a key moderator of this relationship. Consequently, a different institution, such as a hotel business, public or private hospital, or financial institution, should be studied to determine if the outcomes are comparable in order to obtain more thorough and effective results. Secondly, because female government schools have not been included in this survey, it would be beneficial to perform a separate study on female government schools and compile the results. Finally, it would be beneficial to conduct additional research into the elements that impact the connection between training and commitment in order to draw more accurate conclusions. Fourthly, employees who are goal-oriented should receive training that is up-todate in order to provide them with more opportunities to learn and to tie their advancement to their training. Finally, this study should be redone with a higher sample size to acquire better results because the sample size of 279 was too little due to time constraints.
