Posttraining interventions to enhance transfer: The moderating effects of work environments

Abstract The study reported on in this article examined the effectiveness of two posttraining interventions—goal‐setting and self‐management training—and moderating effects of the work environment on improving training transfer. The findings indicate that training in goal‐setting was effective in improving the extent to which trainees applied their skills to the job. Further, both interventions were found to be more effective in supportive work environments. Implications for training research and human resource practices are discussed.
