Organisation factors that influence transfer of training among employees at farmers' organisation authority headquarters, Kuala Lumpur
description Transfer of training is important to an organisation as organisations have devoted lot of money for sending their employees for training in order to increase the employees’ knowledge, skills and abilities. From the training they attended, it is essential for the employees to apply the learned knowledge into the workplace. The purpose of this study is to examine rewards, supervision and peer relationships influence on the transfer of training at Farmers’ Organisation Authority (FOA) Headquarters, Kuala Lumpur. A cross-sectional study was chosen for this research. Data were gathered through questionnaire survey involving employees (n=252). Quantitative methodology was employed for this study to examine the relationships among rewards, supervision, and peer relationship on the transfer of training involving employees at FOA Headquarters, Kuala Lumpur. Self-administered questionnaires were adapted from various sources and consisted of variables related to transfer of training, rewards, supervision and peer relationships. Data gathered were then analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences, version 22.0 (SPSS). This study applied descriptive statistics, reliability and inferential analysis to examine the relationships among the variables. The results showed that only rewards and supervision had significant relationship with transfer of training while peer relationship was found to be insignificant. The implications of this study are FOA needs to be proactive in order to increase the employees’ rewards, encourage supervisors to support their supervisees as well as create conducive atmosphere to ensure the transfer of training occur in the workplace and utilise experienced workers efficiently.
