Abstract

Purpose

The impact of the number of coworkers participating in training on transfer outcomes has largely been overlooked. This paper aims to examine whether the number of coworkers participating in training interacts with peer support (PS) to influence training motivation and transfer.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey from a sample of 688 employees working in 14 midsize and large companies. All participants were recent trainees in various open skill (e.g. leadership) training programs. Moderated mediation was used to test the hypotheses.

Findings

Motivation to transfer (MTT) mediated the relationship between PS and perceived training transfer. When more coworkers participated in the training, PS had a stronger influence on trainee MTT.

Practical implications

Organizations should consider training coworker cohorts at the same time to influence MTT and training transfer. Generally, whole-team training programs could be used to boost training transfer outcomes, although it could potentially have a negative impact on transfer if PS is low.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this was the first study to demonstrate that the number of coworkers participating in training can moderate the effect of PS on MTT and training transfer.

Abstract

The free flow of information: Unesco's programme and methods. Unesco Chronicle, vol. 2, no. 3, March, 1956, pp. 80–85. [It is one of the aims written into the constitution of Unesco that it shall strive to promote the free flow of information, and it has used various methods to bring this about. It has itself sponsored international agreements such as the Agreement on the Importation of Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Materials. Where full‐scale agreements are not possible it makes recommendations to members on desirable legislation, or sponsors administrative arrangements which do not have the binding force of agreements. It also works through its members to support suitable motions proposed by other bodies such as the International Telecommunications Union and the Universal Postal Union. It also publishes studies such as Trade barriers to knowledge which help to promote its plans. These methods have proved successful and it is proposed to continue them in the future.]
