Abstract:

The research studied the link between training effectiveness and deviant behavior of manufacturing companies in Rivers State. Survey design was espoused in the research and the population was 2540 managerial staffs of ten (10) manufacturing firms in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor and the sample was 335 of which only 315 copies were suitable for analyses. PPMC statistical tool was applied in testing our four formulated hypotheses. It was revealed that training effectiveness dimensions (individual and corporate performance) have a negative relationship with deviant behaviour measures (interpersonal and corporate deviances) of manufacturing businesses in Port Harcourt. Hence, it was recommended that training ought not only be done but the firm should ensure that every training carried out should not only be effective but there must be constant evaluation to reduce both interpersonal and corporate deviances amid employees of manufacturing businesses in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor, and by implication, the entire State.
