Abstract

Employee training is the mandatory requirement for an organisation to be successful and reach its goals. Training facilitates the organizations in building a more committed and productive workforce. By providing opportunities for the individual employee and career growth, an effective training program could bring greater commitment and less employee turnover. Employee commitment refers to the responsibilities of an employee that he/she holds to fulfill in an organisation. Employee commitment indirectly relates to the knowledge and confidence of a person. When an employee has an adequate knowledge of his job related things, he becomes more confidence on his productivity which keeps him committed also. This knowledge and confidence can be provided through the employee training. The committed employees can bring the organization’s success.

The main objectives of this study are; 1) To study the impact of the training on the employee commitment. 2) To study the determinants of the employee commitment.
