 Measuring Employee DevelopmentUttara Jangbahadur and Vandna Sharma Global Business Review, 2018, vol. 19, issue 2, 455-476 Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the factors of employee development (ED) and to validate those identified set of factors using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data were collected personally from employees of manufacturing industries. Factor analysis was carried out to explore the factors and CFA was carried out to check the reliability, validity and the model fitness. The scale had a high degree of reliability and validity and ensured the presence of both convergent and discriminant validity. The scale developed in this study is based on only four factors of ED as identified by different authors. In future, other factors, such as knowledge management and management development programmes, can also be included in the study. The instrument developed in the study for ED provides a basis for most of the academicians and the researchers to empirically test the relationship between ED, individual performance and organizational effectiveness, which has become an important area of interest among the researchers in recent years. The study is based on identifying the measures/factors of ED and validate those factors.
