Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the antecedents of training transfer in a manufacturing industry focusing on the level of each identified antecedent and examining the most dominant antecedent of training transfer. The instrument used was adopted from Velada et al. (2007) and Learning Transfer System Inventory, LTSI (Holton, 2000). The questionnaire with 30 items has been administered to 62 participants and has been analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. The results indicated that the level of each identified antecedents of training transfer is high and the training design was found to be the most dominant antecedents of training transfer.
