Description:
<jats:p>Research suggests that the knowledge, skills, and abilities acquired by trainees in organisational training programmes frequently fail to transfer to the job. Accordingly, continued research on transfer of training is needed. Recent critical reviews of the training literature have indicated the need for improved methodological rigour in transfer of training research. This article presents recommendations for improving the methodological rigour of research on transfer of training. Specifically, the article addresses problems with selecting and measuring dependent variables, operationalising independent variables, conducting repeated measurements, and using within‐subject and within‐group research designs.</jats:p>
