The study aimed to determine the role of training programs in achieving administrative performance excellence within Orphan Development Foundation. The study population consisted of all employees at the Orphan Development Foundation, with a total number of 55 employees. A questionnaire was designed to collect field data on the study variables. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach, as it is one of the most commonly used approaches in studying social and human phenomena. The motive behind such a decision is to reach results that can be generalized to other similar cases, whether it was local, regional or international. The most prominent findings of the study show that there is a statistically significant correlation between training (with its dimensions of needs assessment, program design, implementation, and evaluation) and superior administrative performance (with its dimensions of institutional culture, leadership, building sustainable value, stakeholders’ engagement, strategic and operational performance). In addition, the application of training programs, including needs assessment, design, implementation and evaluation within the Foundation is still at a moderate level. Similarly, the level of superior administrative performance at the Orphan’s Development Foundation was at a moderate level. The study concluded with a number of recommendations, the most prominent of which include enhancing the role of training in its various dimensions to improve the administrative performance of the Orphan’s Development Foundation. It also recommended paying more attention to the training and the process of needs assessment, design, implementation and evaluation within the Orphan’s Development Foundation to achieve a higher level of administrative excellence.
