Perceptions of transfer of training: interaction of a continuous learning culture with network diversity, network strength, and network size

Abstract

We theorize how a continuous learning culture relates to perceptions of transfer of training moderated by network size, network diversity, and network strength. We collected data from a group of professional analysts from a multinational organization. Results reveal that both network size and network diversity interacting with a continuous learning culture measured by both competitiveness and organizational support explain a significant proportion of variance in perceptions of transfer of training. As expected, large network size along with high competitiveness and high organizational support are associated with an increase in perceptions of transfer of training. In addition, high network diversity along with high competitiveness and high organizational support are associated with an increase in perceptions of transfer of training. However, and contrary to expectations, we also found that perceptions of transfer of training were highest with high network diversity, high competitiveness, and low organizational support. High network diversity appears to reduce the need for organizational support in relation to perceptions of transfer of training with a sample of employees from around the world.
