The general objective of this study was to assess employees’ capacity building and performance of non-governmental organizations in Rwanda. The research was guided by the following specific objectives; to analyze the leadership training, technical skills training and organizational culture on performance of Free Methodist Church in Rwanda. The population of this study was 270 employees of Free Methodist Church. The sample size of this research was selected using the formula of Slovene (1970) formula as 84 respondents. The researcher used to collect both primary and secondary data. The data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Pearson Correlation approach was used to assess relationship between the variables while regression model was used as a way of assessing effect of employees’ capacity building on organisational performance. The outcomes showed that that 70% of the respondents agreed that management develop morale and maintain discipline of the employees for their better performance of the organisation while 30% disagree with the statement. This implied that management develop morale and maintain discipline in the church. In this case, correlation matrix Table 4.10, the outcomes show that there is a very high correlation between leadership training (X1) and organisational performance as Pearson correlation is .906** with the p-value of 0.000, which is less than standard significance levels of 0.05. This signifies that, out of the considered other factors influencing organisational performance in Rwanda, only leadership training has statistical significant and high positive effect on the organisational performance of the church and the influence is very high due to r=0.906. Table 4.13 shows the value of R-square in this study is .878 means that the fraction of organisational performance (dependent variable) is explained by the independent variables (Employees’ Capacity Building) at 87.8%. This indicates that the model is very strong, as the independent variables highly explain the dependent variable. The adjusted R-square is used to compensate for additional variable in the model. In this case, the adjusted R-square is 87.3% for organisational performance in Free Methodist Church in Rwanda. Basing on ANOVA Table 4.13.2, p-value is 0.000 which is less than the 0.05, set as standard significance levels with fit level of 158.705.
The study rejected the null hypothesis and supported the alternative hypothesis, emphasizing the significant influence of employees' capacity building on the Free Methodist Church's performance in Rwanda. The recommendations include promoting self-awareness and confidence among employees, implementing a unified operating system, and facilitating individual career management for enhanced performance.
