Abstract
While there seems to be consensus that capacity building is key to promoting job performance in an organization yet the nature of geographical terrain and the recent security threats of the country challenged the operation of servicemen. Until recently, optimal operational performance of junior officers in NAF on internal security concerns have been progressively low. Yet, the junior officers are the dominant cadre in the rank and file. Recognizing this shortcomings among junior officers necessitated the need for this research. In this study, exploratory research design was used. Primary and secondary data were sourced for different purposes. A sample of one thousand, three hundred and twenty (1320) junior officers were drawn from the study population. An average of thirty (30) junior officers were drawn from the Nigerian Air force. Structured interview was also deployed to help give qualitative information that was not obtained from questionnaire. Data obtained from second hand sources was used for a purpose different from that of the agency or platform that initially collected it from the field. The data in this research study were analysed using simple percentage combined with numerical, frequencies, histograms, and percentages. The study recognized that capacity building initiatives is a significant technique for improving human resource management in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). The study discovered that documents such as the Professional Military Education (PME) and the Training Needs Analysis (TNA), the NAF manual of training and career progression, AFP 248, and other relevant documents attempted to develop and enhance its officers for increased performance.
