Transfer of Training: The Revised Review and Analysis ()
ABSTRACT
Orientation: Since the beginning of
the industrial revolution, organizations sought immeasurable techniques to
enhance the performance of human resources. Thus, in contemporary the most forward-thinking businesses of today no longer view
certain human resource practices as necessary costs but rather as strategic
weapons in the fight for competitive advantage. Purpose: This study
seeks to explore the determinants of a successful transfer of training. Design/Method/Approach: This study relied entirely on secondary sources of information. Secondary
information was collected via the use of many online search tools and
specialised journals. Books and articles that related to the topic were read to
aid the investigation. Findings: The main findings of
the study are that the determinants of a successful transfer of training are
organizational level (characteristics of the work environment), learning field
level (characteristics of the training measure) and individual level
(characteristics of participants). The transfer is aided when trainees are
taught both the skills and the fundamental norms and philosophical ideas that
frame the training. Transfer can take a variety of forms. Successful transfer
of training leads to improved employee and organizational performance. Theoretical implications: There is a lack of both theoretical and empirical studies on the transfer of
training. Thus, this study suggests that more research on the transfer of
training be conducted to expand the subject matter. Practical
implications: Organizations must offer an environment that is conducive enough to allow
a successful transfer of training to take place in the workplace. Originality/Value: Findings from this research will expand the understanding of the science
behind training transfer. Research Limitation & Implications: This study was limited to secondary data and the limited available
scholarly work on the transfer of training. Paper Type: Review Paper.
