ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to report the influence of a training system on improving employee hard skills. The motive of this study is to investigate the implementation of training system in public organisations. The paper uses a survey questionnaire to collect data from the Palestinian National Authority ministries. One hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. Individual-level analyses from a sample of 399 employees from Palestinian National Authority ministries indicate that training systems have a positive effect on employees’ hard skills. The theoretical contribution of this study is to demonstrate the value of training systems on employee hard skills. It further confirms the importance of addressing the relationship between organizational practice and employee outcomes, and accordingly the results will contribute the HRM literature. From a practical standpoint, the findings encourage careful consideration of the training system used in the Palestinian National Authority and support the utility of the framework to inform future studies.
