The analysis has been done based on the dependent and the independent variables.
The dependent variable for the research is employee performance whereas the independent
variables are job rotation, training and development, e-learning, job enrichment and coaching
and mentoring. The ANOVA test has been conducted on all the independent variables, which
will help in finding out the association with the dependent variables. The significant value for
the test that has been conducted for job rotation has come to be 0.010, which shows that the
null hypothesis for the test has been rejected. It can be stated that the positive hypothesis has
been accepted, as the rotation of the job among the employees within the organization will
have a direct impact on the performance of the employees.
The ANOVA test that has been conducted for finding the association between the
training and development on the performance of the employees has come to be 0.622. This
shows that there is an association as the significant value is more than 0.005. This shows that
the null hypothesis has been rejected and the performance of the employees can be increased
with the help of training and development that are being offered to the employees within the
organization. The test that was conducted for the e-learning activities have a significant value
of .972, which shows that the null hypothesis has been again rejected. It can therefore be
stated that the performance of the employees will be impacted with the help of e-learning
activities that are provided to them. The e-learning activities of the employees will result in
increasing their level of skills and knowledge within the organization so that it can enable
them in being productive and increase the efficiency of the organization. The performance of
the employees will increase to a great extent with the help of these activities that are being
provided to the employees.
The job enrichment of the employees can only be done with the help of proper
training methods so that the employees can be skilled and use the knowledge that is present
within them in a proper manner, which will enable them to increase their performance in the

6DISSERTATION
organization. The ANOVA test that has been conducted for job enrichment has shown a
significant value of 0.324, which shows that the null hypothesis has been rejected. It can thus
be stated that the enrichment of the job will result in increasing the performance of the
employees within the work place.
The coaching and mentoring process also needs to be available within the
organization, as it will enable the company in increasing the efficiency of the employees.
This would result in increasing the output of the company to a greater extent so that the
customers can be attracted towards the company. It can be seen that the ANOVA test that has
been done coaching and mentoring against the dependent variable that is employee
performance has a significant value of 0.971. This shows that the null hypothesis has been
rejected, as the minimum value had to be 0.005. This shows that the conducting workshops in
a better manner within the organization will result in increasing the level of efficiency of the
employees to a great extent.

Recommendation
The training and the development process can be increased within the organization

organization is successful in the Malaysian market, which attracts employees belonging to
different cultural backgrounds. The employees need to be provided training regarding the
language that needs to be used in the organization. This will allow the company to enhance
the process of communication within the organization. The global manner of the organization
will enable the company in harnessing the best talents that are present in the market so that it

teamwork qualities. It will enable the employees in understanding the importance of work in
a team so that the job can be performed within the least amount of time. This will also result
in increasing the power of retention within the organization for the employees. The
performance of the employees on an individual basis will also increase, as the output of the
team will depend on the individual performances of the employees. The individual
performance of the employees will help the team in achieving the results in a better manner

10DISSERTATION
increasing the level of effectiveness among them as well. It will help the employees in
understanding the critical situation so that it can be avoided within the organization. The
stressful situations that may arise within the organization can be avoided by the employees by
detecting the root cause through this training.
The employees also need to be provided training with respect to the technique that

trained experts so that it can help the employees in gaining a better insight regarding the
methods that will result in increasing the level of productivity within the organization. This
will also result in increasing the level of performance of the employees as well. This training
procedure will also allow the employees to be motivated within the work place so that higher
amount of productivity achieved by them will result in increasing their rewards within the
organization as well. The training procedure will also result in creating a better environment
within the organization so that the employees can work in an effective manner.
Limitations of the study
This process of research was conducted by taking in to consideration certain
limitations that the researcher had to face. The most important limitation that the researcher
faced was the time constraints. The limited period of time that was available to the researcher
has resulted in conducting the process of research in a small manner. The availability of more
time to the researcher would have resulted in conducting the survey process in a proper
manner so that the responses could be collected from a larger sample. This would have
helped the researcher in gaining better insights regarding the topic that has been taken up for
the process of research. Another important factor was the cost that had to be borne by the
researcher. If the cost of the research would have been higher, it would allow the researcher
in gaining access to the authentic company websites so that proper information can be

11DISSERTATION
gathered. The restriction in the cot has limited the researcher from accessing the websites, as
payment needs to be made to view the information.
Future scope of the research
This process of research has been conducted in a successful manner by the researcher.
The data that has been collected for this research along with the primary analysis of the data
can be used by other researchers as a secondary source so that it can enable them in
understanding their research in a proper manner. The use of this research process may not
only be restricted towards the telecommunication industry and can be used for other sectors a
swell by the different researchers in conducting their literature review.
