| Summary: | This study aims to explore the trainee's perception on the levels of supervisor support and
transfer of training. This study of relationship was conducted in one selected company in
Kuching, Sarawak. The study incorporates a sample of 86 respondents by using the method of
simple random sampling. Their responses were collected by using the apparatus of questionnaire
and were analyzed using One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson Correlation. The
ANOVA was used to test the differences between the demographic factors of respondents such as
age, academic background and length of service. The Pearson Correlation on the other hand, was
used to understand the relationship between the selected independent variables of the research
(supervisor support in terms of acceptance, encouragement, participation, reinforcement practice
skills and teaching in program) with the dependent variable (transfer of training). The statistical
analysis showed that, only one demographic factor (length of service) had an impact to transfer of
training. All independent variable have positive relationship with transfer of training except for
supervisor support in terms participation. Thus, supervisor supports were crucial for transfer of
training in the workplace. Therefore, both human resource development (HRD) practitioners and
management of the organization should work together to maximize transfer of training. Transfer
of training should be facilitated by providing supervisors support to trainees in order to ensure
positive transfer. |
