KMO and Bartlett’s test of all variables being
calculated adequacy rate of 0.614 into four factors. Using the correlation
coefficient method shows that between Dependent variable (Training
effectiveness in capacity development) and two independent variables (Employees
Performance, Employees skills) there is a positive correlation coefficient.
When the rate of performance, knowledge and skills of employees improved means
the training was effective in capacity development of employees. Where third
