This article reviews some major studies that were conducted in the past decade ( 1989-1998) on the transfer of what employees from traning programmes back to their jobs. A conceptual framework is developed for this article to better present the popular constructs that have been tested empirically. The achievement is twofold. First, this review paper highlights that some individual, motivational and enviromental factors are related to transfer to training.Second, some directions for further studies have been suggested. For example, longitudinal study was highly recommanded for measuring transfer outcomes. Some new individual (e.g. achievement striving) motivational (e.g. trainee-control-over-training) and enviromental (e.g. transfer climate) constructs are recomended to be incorporated in newly created models.These models can then be examined using structural equation modelling. After extensive testing and refinment of these models, a set of critical constructs can be distilled. By that tiem, convergence of research efforts focusing on major themes can be achieved.
