Abstract
Transfer beliefs are understudied in the training transfer field, whereas structural equation modelling (SEM) has been a widely used technique to study transfer models. New methodologies are needed to study training transfer and network analysis (NA) has emerged as a new approach that provides a visual representation of a given network. We explored the relation of transfer beliefs, intentions, commitment, and implementation intentions, and transfer using variable (SEM) and person-oriented approaches (NA) according to groups of trainees based on their transfer readiness. The longitudinal design measured T1 before the training and T2 after the training (268 participants). T1 measured trainees' beliefs about transfer, commitment to transfer, and intention to transfer; T2 measured self-reported transfer and implementation intention actions. The results of the NA confirmed the structure of the exploratory factor analysis. The NA model offered the visual representation of the network complimentary to the results obtained via SEM. Differentiating NA and SEM multigroup by cluster showed differences in models and architectures between clusters. We discussed the relations between beliefs and transfer, and also the implications of the combined use of the SEM and NA as novel approaches to study transfer.
期刊介绍:
Increasing international competition has led governments and corporations to focus on ways of improving national and corporate economic performance. The effective use of human resources is seen as a prerequisite, and the training and development of employees as paramount. The growth of training and development as an academic subject reflects its growth in practice. The International Journal of Training and Development is an international forum for the reporting of high-quality, original, empirical research. Multidisciplinary, international and comparative, the journal publishes research which ranges from the theoretical, conceptual and methodological to more policy-oriented types of work. The scope of the Journal is training and development, broadly defined. This includes: The determinants of training specifying and testing the explanatory variables which may be related to training identifying and analysing specific factors which give rise to a need for training and development as well as the processes by which those needs become defined, for example, training needs analysis the need for performance improvement the training and development implications of various performance improvement techniques, such as appraisal and assessment the analysis of competence Training and development practice the design, development and delivery of training the learning and development process itself competency-based approaches evaluation: the relationship between training and individual, corporate and macroeconomic performance Policy and strategy organisational aspects of training and development public policy issues questions of infrastructure issues relating to the training and development profession The Journal’s scope encompasses both corporate and public policy analysis. International and comparative work is particularly welcome, as is research which embraces emerging issues and developments.
