摘要：The concept of "transfer of training" is commonly used in Industrial and Organisational Psychology to refer to the application of knowledge and skills acquired during training to a targeted job or role. The importance of training transfer in imparting new knowledge, skills, or attitudes related to current job responsibilities undoubtedly can improve employee’s performance in the workplace. Previous studies have used different approaches to determine factors influencing the training transfer. As a result, more in-depth research about this relationship is required. Hence, this study intends to further investigate the influence of training design, individual characteristics, and work environment towards the transfer of training at a private a limited company in Johor Bahru. A total of 54 questionnaires were sent out, with 52 of them being completely returned. Structural equation modeling of partial least squares was used to analyze the data using SmartPLS 3.2.9. It was found that individual characteristics, training design, and work environment have a positive influence on training transfer. The three independent constructs substantially explain 46.1% of the variance for transfer of training. Therefore, 53.9% of the change in training transfer would be explained by other factors. The Human Resource Department is suggested to have a proper plan for effective transfer of training by blending the SMART Goal Training Setting, welcoming ideas from workers, and enriching top management commitments. Since the study focused on a single company, it is recommended to replicate the study across other entities as well as expanded to a specific industry.
