Linking workplace literacy skills and transfer system perceptions

Research examining the relationship between workplace literacy and training‐related factors is virtually nonexistent. This study examined how variations in individual learning transfer system perceptions were associated with job‐related workplace literacy skill differences. Results indicated significant differences in learning transfer system perceptions for employees who had the math and reading skill levels required for their jobs versus those who did not. Findings suggest a complex and little understood relationship between workplace literacy skills and learning transfer system perceptions.
