Abstract/Summary:
The purpose of this project was to develop a scale to measure antecedent factors in potential training participants that may predict the levels of transfer of learning that these individuals exhibit after training. Specifically, the scale attempts to measure the levels of self-efficacy, positive perceptions of peer support for training, and learning goal orientation in individuals and under the assumption that they would positively correlate with transfer of learning. This study was conducted using a sample of 100 employees from a casino in the state of Minnesota. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant correlation between the factors chosen and self-reported transfer of learning.
