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.
