One major issue in human resource development (HRD) is to determine factors that predict theperformance of employees. The primary purpose of this study was to determine how level of education, training, andthe working conditions of matatu (public service vehicle) drivers determined their jobperformance in terms of reduced road traffic accidents. Proportionate and simple random sampling techniques wereemployed to select 143 drivers who completed and returned the questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis wasused to test the hypotheses stated. The findings indicate that the variables of driver experience and hours workedhad a significant relationship with the dependent variable rates of traffic accidents per driver as hypothesized.The variables of education level, training, salary earned, and average speed traveled did not have a significantrelationship with the dependent variable.
