Training Needs Analysis: A Case Study of Loco Pilots

Abstract Indian Railway is one of the most challenged organizations among all public sectors organizations in the INDIA. The Indian Railway therefore considers that the Loco Pilots should have the ability and the confident to cope with critical situations. Existing literature regarding Training Needs Analysis (TNA) shows that most studies conducted on TNA practices were done overseas. Due to cultural differences, these findings might not reflect similar descriptions regarding TNA practiced in the INDIA. So, this research aims to investigate the nature of Training Needs Analysis within the context of the Loco Pilots of the Indian Railway and the impact of TNA on organizational performance. To achieve this questionnaires and interviews will be carried out for the Loco Pilots.
