Abstract	In today’s highly competitive industrial landscape, the development of employee capabilities has become an essential strategic priority for organizations seeking sustained productivity and operational excellence. Training and development practices are increasingly recognized as critical human resource initiatives that enhance employee competencies, strengthen workplace commitment, and improve overall job outcomes. Against this background, the present study investigates the influence of training and development practices on employee performance in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tiruchirappalli, through a moderated mediation framework. The study examines employee engagement as an intervening mechanism in the relationship between training practices and employee performance, while perceived organizational support is considered as a contextual factor influencing this relationship. A descriptive and empirical research design was adopted for the study, and primary data were obtained from 350 employees using a structured survey instrument through proportionate random sampling. The reliability and construct validity of the measurement scales were confirmed through Cronbach’s alpha, confirmatory factor analysis, composite reliability, and convergent validity measures. The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling and Hayes’ PROCESS analytical framework. The empirical findings indicate that training and development practices have a significant positive effect on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through enhanced employee engagement. Furthermore, organizational support was found to strengthen the indirect influence of training initiatives on performance outcomes. The study extends the application of human capital theory by providing empirical evidence on the psychological and organizational conditions under which training investments translate into improved employee performance within large-scale manufacturing organizations.
