Key result
Pre-training activities, trainer performance, and training content are linked to distinct learning and behavioral outcomes.
Why the study?
The study aimed to investigate how training design and delivery variables moderate training outcomes in employees of national oil and gas companies.
Observational (n=406)
In the Omani oil and gas industry, pre-training activities, trainer performance, and training content significantly predict various training outcomes including expectations, learning, and behavior.
May inform training design in industrial settings; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
The aim of this study was to investigate the moderating variables of training design and delivery, as well as their subsequent impacts on training outcomes: reaction, learning, intention to transfer learning, behaviour and results. The study was conducted at three separate times (before, immediately after training and 2–3 months after training). A simple sampling method were used to select employees (n1=406, n2= 402, n3=391) who worked for Omani national oil and gas companies and who had participated in health and safety training. A structural equation model was used to validate the research model. The results showed that pre-training intervention and activities were related to expectations about training outcomes. Moreover, the results indicated that trainer performance and behaviour were related to reaction and learning. Finally, training content and objectives were predictors of behaviour.

Aliya Mohammed Al-Mughairi (2024) conducted an observational in Health and safety training participants (n=406). Health and safety training was evaluated on Training outcomes (reaction, learning, intention to transfer learning, behaviour and results). Pre-training interventions and activities were related to expectations about training outcomes, trainer performance and behavior were related to reaction and learning, and training content and objectives predicted behavior.
