Variables That Enhance an Employees Interest to Transfer Training in Higher Education
Lane, Kasandra
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Grand Canyon University
The purpose of the current quantitative predictive correlational study was to determine if and to what extent supervisor support, peer support, personal outcomes, and institution type (private or public) predicted the interest to transfer training in full-time employees in higher education in the United States. The study was built upon Blau's (1964) Social Exchange Theory and Baldwin and Ford's (1988) Transfer of Training Model, which identified and defined the variables for the study. 154 individuals from two different Higher Education Facebook groups participated. The participants were asked to complete an online survey composed of the informed consent, inclusion criteria questions, a demographic question, the complete LTSI V.4 and TIQ instruments. The research questions asked to what extent supervisor support, peer support, personal outcomes, institution type, as well as if the combination of the four predictor variables predicted an employee's interest to transfer training. A simultaneous multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effect each predictor variable had on the criterion variable. Supervisor support demonstrated to be significant in predicting the interest to transfer (F(1,126) = 45.513, p < 0.01). Peer support demonstrated to be significant in predicting the interest to transfer (F(1,126) = 47.142, p < 0.01). Personal outcomes were demonstrated to be insignificant in predicting the interest to transfer (F(1,126) = 3.788, p = 0.054). Institution type demonstrated to be insignificant in predicting the interest to transfer (F(1,126) = 0.117, p = 0.733). The combination of all four predictor variables demonstrated significance of the interest to transfer. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
