Transfer of training: application of the knowledge and skills acquired in a training program on the job and the maintenance of acquired knowledge and skills over time. There are 2 conditions for transfer of training: generalization: use or application of learned material to the job, maintenance: use or application of learned material on the job over a period of time. Types of transfer of training: positive transfer: trainees apply new knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired in training on the job. High positive transfer: task stimuli same response required same. Response required same: zero transfer: trainees do not use new knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired in training on the job. Response required different: negative transfer: training has had a negative effect and trainees are performing worse as a result of a training program. Only 49% of organizations indicated that employees apply learning immediately after a training program to a large extent.
