The major models which we discussed in this paper include Senge's model, Pedler's model, Garvin's model, Watkins and Marsick's model and the other two models by Goh and Jyothibabu et al. It was found that out of the various measurement models Watkins and Marsick's model is the one which is used by many researchers. The reason for the wide acceptance can be that the model covers all learning levels and system areas.
