Abstract


Despite Bidco Oil Refineries in Kenya's position as a major producer of edible fats and oils in Kenya, the firm had not yet provided the anticipated returns after installing HRMIS. There had been reports of difficulties at Bidco Oil Refineries Limited, including employee unrest, low employee morale, waste from overproduction, complaints from customers about subpar products, inadequate packing, and subpar delivery methods that result in product recalls. Though it was theorized that HRMIS would reduce erroneous payments, speed up the updating of employees' data, and enable the generation of timely reports for informed decision-making in the companies, there were no compelling empirical studies to support this. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of e-training on the performance of Bidco oil refineries. A descriptive research design was adopted which was used to ascertain and document how things were. The population of the study was 120 managerial employees at Bidco Oil Refineries headquarters based in Thika who were chosen using census sampling. Data for the study was collected using questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. Inferential analysis was used in the determination of the relationship between the research variables. Tables were used in presenting the data. The study found that e-training was adapted to a large extent. There was a strong positive correlation between organization performance and E-training practices. The study recommended that Bidco Oil Refineries should focus on strengthening their E-training programs to further improve employee performance.
