Employee productivity is a key determinant of organizational competitiveness, yet evidence on how training and career development contribute to it remains inconsistent. This study aims to analyze the effect of training and career development on employee productivity using a literature review method. Sources were identified from academic databases for the period 2019 to 2025, screened against inclusion criteria, and synthesized through thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that training is generally positively related to productivity, although its effect depends on the transfer of learning and the context in which it is applied. Career development shows a more consistent positive relationship, operating through perceived organizational support and organizational attachment. When combined, the two practices are associated with higher productivity, partly through job satisfaction and organizational commitment. These results suggest that organizations should integrate training programs with clear career pathways. Future research should further test these relationships empirically using objective productivity measures.
