Indian IT and ITeS industry. The network of the study contains variables such as trainee motivation, Management orientation, perceived needs, perceived training quality, scepticism and perceived benefits. The first three among them, which is trainee motivation, Management orientation and perceived needs are the independent variables and perceived benefits is the alone dependent variable for the study. The study also has to intervening variables which are perceived training quality and scepticism, where perceived training quality is a mediator variable and scepticism is a moderate variable. The scope of this chapter is to introduce to the various variables that have been selected as a part of the study and to examine the relationship between these variables from previous studies that already been conducted in the context of training and development. The initial session of this chapter would give an introduction to training and other development activities in an organisation specifically to software industry and second part of this chapter give a detail analysis of various studies conducted on the variables selected for the study. (Austen & Seymour, 2009) reveals that talented and well-respected leadership is essential in software industry, as always in other industries with world class systems. Methodologies and processes are required to continuously deliver in a competitive environment in which quality has to be achieved in minimum time. ‗Recruit, Retain and Retrain‘ would be the ‗mantra‘ for an effective HR paradigm in this software industry, where people provide the critical competitive advantage. A manageable acquisition strategy is required to realise the benefits of adequate vigilance in the industry and to evolve strategies for adopting and learning new technology and business models. (Rabayah & Sartawi, 2008) describes two alternate models for future growth of top Indian firms: MBG (Manpower-Based Growth) and KBG (Knowledge-Based Growth). In the first model, revenue growth is fuelled largely by growth in manpower. In the second model, the firm penetrates value-added market segments and growth is fuelled by increasing the revenue per person. He says that the Indian software service providers are in an enviable position due to unprecedented market growth, overseas shortage of manpower, access to high quality and low-cost manpower within the country. It is due to this fact that a proper work climate and various kinds of training facilities are provided to the employees. (Blümel & Haase, 2010) states that ‗Training and Development‘ efforts of organisations have positive impact on their performances. While each industry comprises of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled employees, there seems to exist a possibility of bridging these gaps through informal, on-the-job training by skilled employees. Such training efforts, prima face, look to be economical both in terms of money and time required. Future research could endeavour to find out as to what extent informal training can help in bridging these skill gaps, thereby reducing the load on ‗structured training efforts‘. (Tsukamoto, Takemura, Nagumo, & Matsumoto, 2011) lists out the problems faced by the software employees such as working in odd or night shifts particularly in call centers, marital discords due to men‘s suspicion about their working spouses, problem in securing a work-life balance and carrying employers‘ displeasure for prolonged leave due to postnatal problems. Therefore, the industry has to make special efforts to make women‘s stay in work places secure, convenient and
