Özet:
Transfer of training, the concern of this thesis, is investigated in the context of a joint-venture in management development carried out by the Cranfield School of Management and Cable and Wireless Limited. Previous work in the field of transfer - theoretical, experimental and empirical - is reviewed and relevant aspects incorporated into the study. The development of the joint-venture itself is explored in three contexts: business, educational and career. The field study was conducted with the dual objectives of hypothesis testing and hypothesis generation. 181 C & W managers participated in the general management programmes specially-prepared for them at Cranfield. Subsequently a questionnaire was sent to each of them at their place of work to elicit their perceptions of the programmes; the influence of the organisational climate on their transfer efforts; and their transfer performance as it related to specific tasks and to their own end-of-programme resolutions. Findings suggest that, although the nature of the learning experience and the organisational climate are undoubtedly important determinants of the successful transfer of training, the influence of both are modified substantially by the type of manager. Perceptions are found to vary consistently with type of manager; "type" being defined by programme attended (a surrogate for "level"); Company categorisation of managers; work preferences, as identified by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator; age; professional background; and length of service with the Company. A model for the transfer of training is proposed, together with a number of practical recommendations for both parties to the joint-venture aimed at enhancing future management development activities. Availability of this thesis is at the discretion of the Steering Committee of the joint-venture.
