This study sought to determine the effect of post-training work environment on the transfer of middle-level staff competencies from 2 technical universities and 2 polytechnics in the northern sector of Ghana. The mixed study was sequential explanatory research. Respondents were drawn from the Netherlands Programme for Post-Secondary Education and Training Capacity (NPT/GHA) 45 leadership and management capacity building project for the middle-level technical universities and polytechnics staff. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide were used to gather data from respondents made up of 24 (58.5%) academic staff and 17 (41.5%) administrative staff totaling 41 respondents for the study. The closed-ended items were analysed using statistical product and service solutions version 19 and results reported using means and standard deviations. Open-ended items were thematically analysed to support results from the closed-ended item analysis. The results revealed that respondents found the relevance of staff training, learned new things and noticed an improvement in their competencies for their career prospects. However, the perception of the respondents pointed to the fact that there was little or no support from colleagues in transferring the competencies acquired from training. The study also revealed that respondents had low motivation to transfer training competencies. Since technical universities and polytechnics produce critical human resources for the industry, the post-training work environment was critical for staff training transfer with many implications for the management, leadership, growth and development of the institutions. The study recommended that training programmes should be aligned with the institutional vision, mission and goals. Again, resources committed to staff training should also budget for enhancements of the work environment to accommodate training transfer using modern technologies.

The purpose of this research is to examine how training transfer is influenced by management support, training motivation, intention to transfer, affective reaction, utility reaction, supervisory support. To achieve this purpose, this study used the employees in Indonesian Ministry of Finance. A sample of 258 employees from level III and level IV leaders completed questionnaires that include measurements such as training motivation, supervisor supports, affective reaction, utility reaction, intention to transfer, training transfer, perceived training transfer, training retention, managerial transfer support, motivation to learn, training self-efficacy, and demographic characteristics. Hypothesis testing was done by using three steps of hierarchical regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that there are significantly positive relationships between the aforementioned independent variables and training transfer. Implications of this study were discussed.

Interactionist Approach

Purpose Purpose of this study is to investigate the role of learner readiness in enhancing transfer of training by empirically testing a moderated mediation mechanism in which learner readiness influences transfer through motivation to transfer, and this indirect impact is moderated by supervisor support. Design/methodology/approach The perception of trainees about the constructs considered has been captured through a survey of 250 employees of a unit of a manufacturing organization in India. For hypotheses testing, PROCESS macro developed by Hayes (2013) has been used. Findings Results have confirmed the significant role played by learner readiness in predicting transfer. This apart, supervisor support has been proved to moderate the indirect impact of learner readiness on transfer. Practical implications Trainees need to have pre-requisite knowledge to learn the content of a training programme, which would enable them to grasp such content and transfer the same subsequently to work. It is also essential that trainees are willing to attend any training voluntarily. Specific interventions may be designed for supervisors to bolster their catalytic role in training transfer. Originality/value An interactionist approach has been adopted by focussing on learner readiness as a less-studied trainee characteristic and supervisor support as a situational factor of transfer. This is construed as a significant contribution of this study to training literature. The potential overlap between learner readiness and motivation to transfer as trainee characteristics is seen to be neutralized by the presence of supervisor support as a moderator. Findings help in understanding how a trainee’s readiness and motivation, together with supervisor’s positive attitude, can enhance transfer.

Transfer Training

In the era of competitive industrial time and globalization, enterprises need to have a competent, technologically "up to date," motivated and engaged workforce to maximize productivity. Therefore, in the current socio-economic industrial culture, enterprises are encouraged to be motivated to invest in employee training and development. Scholarly research in the business world have already emphasized on the robust association between learning opportunities for employees leading to their performance improvements. According to studies, businesses that have survived, understood, and learned the prospects of training and its long-term implications for business productivity. But even when the issues of providing training were resolved, that also brought the question of application of the training at the workplace by the employees that may be defined as the term "training transfer." Training transfer by employees is essential for the investment return that was aimed to have higher productivity and profit for organizations. If there is a failure of training transfer through proper implementation of the newly acquired knowledge and learnings, not only the performance stays in the pre-training level, but also there is no investment return for the organization. Many organizations are suffering losses due to failing to implement training transfer adequately in the organization. Therefore, it is essential to ensure proper application of transfer training to secure investment resulting in higher job performance and productivity. That requires a good quality of supervisory support, perceived utility, and higher education. The study discusses both theoretical and practical implications for the organizational stakeholders for better job performances.

Work Environment Factors

With the increased investment in training and development initiatives, the organizations wishing to enhance their return on investment must understand the factors that influence transfer of training. This research analyzes the impact of the work environment factors on the transfer of training. Data were garnered through a questionnaire from a sample of 100 female workers in an apparel manufacturing company in Sri Lanka. Partial least squares structural equations modeling was used to analyze the proposed model and it could achieve the coefficient of prediction (R2) of transfer of training as high as 82%, implying the significance of supervisor support, peer support, openness to change, and personal outcomes – positive on transfer of training, while feedback reported no significant impact. Further, positive personal outcomes had the strongest influence on transfer of training. Therefore, practitioners should take into account the contributions associated with each environmental factor and especially to ensure that training transfer outcomes are positive and valued by the employees.

Training evaluation and the need for effective and efficient training methods have always been the focus of researchers and practitioners alike. This search was further fuelled by the creation and identification of theories in the area of learning. Organizational researchers have been constantly borrowing from the fields of Academics in the hopes of identifying what would work best for their people. While adoption of theories has been accepted and encouraged, the understanding of the effects of the new ‘Learner centric’ approaches is still incomplete. The current study attempts to evaluate one proposed outcome of Self-efficacy. Literature in the area of Self-efficacy has linked the concept to training transfer. In the current study, the researchers attempt to understand the relationship between Active Learning design and Self-efficacy. The findings of the study suggest that this relationship is significant and must be considered while planning and designing training modules. The researchers also propose an equation to predict the levels of self-efficacy in the participants, given the level of participation, quality and timeliness of feedback and the learning environment.
