Today's organizational leaders want stronger evidence of training's effectiveness and they want to know how training is improving their organizational performance. Although the work environment variables have been emphasized by research as important to the transfer of training, it is surprising that little research has addressed the issue of the employees' perception of the work environment variables and if they perceive these work environment variables as being significant in their ability to transfer their knowledge and skills gained from training back to the job. The purpose of this study was to examine a proposed model of training transfer, which relates the employees' perceived importance of the work environment variables to transfer of training within an organizational work setting. Participants were 115 full-time service engineers who completed an instructor-led training, which prepared them to perform services on technical equipment at client sites. Participants received the first questionnaire immediately after training, which measured the existence of the work environment variables and the motivation to transfer training. The second questionnaire was sent to the same participants 60 days after the training, which measured their importance of the work environment variables and their transfer achieved. A Pearson's correlation and multiple regression were conducted and five variables were omitted from further analysis due to low reliability scores. The results showed a positive relationship and a moderate correlation between motivation to transfer and perceived transfer achieved and the correlation was statistically significant. The importance of the work environment variables accounted for 11.1% of the variance in motivation to transfer. Importance of peer support and importance of feedback/performance coaching were significantly related to motivation to transfer. Due to a small sample size and self-reported data, the study results should be interpreted with some caution.
