Abstract

Learning is a core concept of HRD. Learning is also an emerging topic of knowledge transferring and knowledge management for improving the organizational performance. Therefore, organizations are investing huge amount of money on employee learning and development. This paper analyzes the theoretical framework & models related to employee learning and organizational learning in order to improve the performance. The key variables identifies related to employee learning. There are so many learning models are developed by HRD researchers’ e.g. Carroll’s learning model, Kolb, Mayer, Lave, Gibson, and Burner’s learning model etc. The further discussion develops a proposed learning model which explains the key variables (Aptitude, Attention, Air pressure, learning from others, Feedback etc).The paper is divided into three parts. The introductory part provides brief overview related to learning and affect on performance. The second part analyzes the views and studies of the past researchers related to Learning models. In the end, paper presents the proposed model along with the discussion and conclusion.
