The study adopted a cross- sectional research design, which involved the use of semi- structured questionnaire containing information to secretary's in- service training and staff development on their job performance. Two hypotheses were tested through the use of an Instrument in deriving information from participants. The instrument includes the general in- service training scale and Koopmans scale of perceived job performance scale. A total of 120 secretaries were sampled using a multistage sampling technique in the study. Also the technique was used in the administration of research instruments. Results indicate that there is a significant influence of in- service training and staff development on perceived job performance. Based on the findings it was concluded that gender and marital status as no impact on how secretaries perceived job performance but was concluded that database application and staff development has impact on secretaries perceived job performance. It was therefore recommended that organizations should implement database application training and staff development programmes more in their organization. Also institution should ensure that staff training is regular and continuous and rather than occasional and should not be seen as one of the routine activities of the institution.
