EXPLORING WAYS ON ENHANCING TRANSFER OF TRAINING: A REVIEW OF TESTED THEORIES ON TRANSFER OF TRAINING

Abstract

The primary goal for this article is reviewing tested theories/models of transfer of training in order to better understand the theories and develop strategies to improve transfer of training. The theories are (the transfer of training process; learning transfer system inventory; the systematic approach; the AMO theory). Any organization's primary priority is the performance of its human capital. Training is one of the primary goals to improve performance, and learning is useless unless it is applied to performance. Therefore, this review concentrated more on the AMO theory since it is a new insight that has recently been tested in the context of transfer of training. Additionally, the AMO theory can be applied to better understand the behavioral processes that occur between management and leadership activities and improvement of potential performance. This review can assist human resource development professionals and policymakers in determining and understanding theories and assessment methods in order to improve the positive performance of transfer of training. This information is necessary for the conduct of high-quality research that will result in the development of appropriate solutions to challenges associated with transfer of training
