Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent of training transfer climate prevailing in Indian organizations and find out the differences in the perception of employees based on organizational and respondents’ characteristics. The data collected from 2,778 employees working in 70 different organizations across India using a survey questionnaire formed the basis for analysis. The study found that the overall training transfer climate prevailing in India was moderate, leaving a room for improvement, particularly in the areas, supervisor sanctions and positive personal outcomes when learning is transferred on the job. It further found that the companies in the service sector, privately owned joint ventures, Indian multinational companies and small organizations could do better in creating transfer climate than their counterparts. Further, it was found that the higher the levels of education, the higher the perception of transfer climate. Also, the higher the experience, the higher the perception of transfer climate.
