Abstract

Objective: This research is aimed at calculating the rate of return on training of public and non-government organizations employees (NGOs).
Methodology: For this purpose, a sample of 342 public and non-public sector employees working in 10 public and 10 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) was selected and collected by distributing the research data questionnaire. The natural logarithm of the annual salaries of government and non-governmental sector employees have been modeled as dependent variables and variables of school years, study districts, work experience, work experience, gender, job degree and legal status of the workplace (public and non-governmental sector) as independent variables. The method of minimum ordinary squares (OLS) is estimated to differentiate.
Findings: the results show that years of study and experience increase the annual salary by five and one percent, respectively. Academic districts (diploma, postgraduate, bachelor's and master's degrees) of government and non-government sector employees have a positive relationship with income. Also, men are also paid more than women and NGOs are also paid more than civil servants.
Conclusions and Suggestions: the Education survey shows little impact on the income of governmental and non-governmental organizations in Afghanistan.
Innovation and authenticity: research has been done for Afghanistan for the first time.
