An Impact of Leadership Development Program on Training Transfer: The Roles of Training Motivation

This research is conducted to quantify the influence of training motivation on the relationship between leadership development program and training transfer using 412 usable questionnaires gathered from the Malaysian Army personnel. A structural equation modelling generated by the SmartPLS version 3.2.5 was employed to assess the validity and reliability of the instrument and then test the research hypotheses. The outcomes of path model analysis showed two important findings: firstly, the relationship between training motivation and course content significantly correlates with training transfer and secondly, the relationship between training motivation and instructors' roles is significantly correlated with training transfer. Statistically, the outcomes of hypotheses testing confirmed that training motivation acts as an important mediating variable in the relationship between leadership development program and training transfer in organisational samples.
