Abstract

This study examines the role of employee development programs in fostering organizational commitment at Ahmedabad Janmarg Ltd. (BRTS). By leveraging frameworks such as the Three-Component Model of Commitment, Social Exchange Theory, and the Job Demands-Resources Model, the research explores how training, mentoring, and career development initiatives influence affective, continuance, and normative commitment. The findings highlight that well-structured development programs not only enhance employee loyalty and trust but also reduce turnover intentions and improve overall job satisfaction. Recommendations emphasize the need for personalized learning pathways, robust performance appraisals, and continuous development opportunities to sustain long-term organizational success.
