“…Webinar atmosphere was more frequently mentioned in positive stories ( n = 27) than in negative ones ( n = 8). An analysis of the codes provides a perspective on broad possibilities of affective states that the webinar creates and that might be used for further evaluation of affective reactions to trainings and webinars alike, as this factor was treated as a singular element, regardless of the training activity type, in recent research (Mansour et al, 2017; Yang et al, 2020; Yang & Watson, 2020). Interestingly, among negative stories, the participants mentioned also a situation when the atmosphere gets too personal.…”

“…In the research questionnaire, apart from demographic data, each of the participants responded to two questions, designed on the basis of the work of previous MEBS research applications (Mansour et al, 2017; Yang et al, 2020; Yang & Watson, 2020). Question 1 : Imagine your friend has just finished a live online session in Online Training Festival and they are totally disappointed, demotivated and unhappy about it.…”

“…These advantages will allow the exploration of views of the webinar participants on both positive and negative aspects of this form of learning that may have never been discovered in the past. In the research questionnaire, apart from demographic data, each of the participants responded to two questions, designed on the basis of the work of previous MEBS research applications (Mansour et al, 2017;Yang & Watson, 2020). The answers to the questionnaire were collected in English, using Google Forms.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that affect participants' webinar satisfaction, with special emphasis on the dissatisfaction factors. The method of empathy‐based stories was chosen for the research due to its potential to eliminate bias from other qualitative methods. The research collected 280 different factors potentially impacting training satisfaction. Some of them had not been raised in subject literature before. In contrast to previous studies, this research concluded that the length of the webinar and finding it interesting might not be critical from the participants' point of view. Moreover, participants of the study valued the depth of content more than breadth. The research also discovered a potentially disregarded important satisfaction factor of webinar description, shaping participants' expectations.

“…Because of the difficulties associated with assessing training effectiveness, transferred behavior has not been frequently evaluated to assess learning effectiveness (Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick, 2006;Nik Nazli and Sheikh Khairudin, 2018). Nickerson et al (2019), Xue et al (2021), Yang and Watson (2022), Yang et al (2020). Also, few studies have been conducted to examine the integrated constructs of learner characteristics, instructional factors and organizational environment.…”

Purpose This study aims to highlight the role of individual and instructional design factors on training transfer and explore and review focal training factors that influence the transfer of training. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework has been developed for this study to better present the prevalent factors that have been empirically validated. Findings The facets of transfer encompassed in this study have gathered enough evidence to demonstrate a positive association with the transfer. This review points out that all predictor variables (learner characteristics, instructional design and environmental factors) positively and significantly influence the transfer of training. A mix of variables is proposed, with further investigation recommended to develop a robust training transfer hypotheses. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the training transfer literature in three ways. First, the authors have shown the positive influence of pre-training factors on training transfer. This study is grounded in a robust theoretical framework, thus fulfilling the previous gaps. This conceptual study elaborates on the importance of factors to establish the training transfer hypothesis. Future studies should test the suggested framework and look for other things that could help learners be more effective and motivated so that training can be more effective and transferable. Practical implications This study has significant findings for organizations operating in the current business scenario to enhance learning transfer, where the transfer is very low and a significant cause of concern for every organization. By making management aware of the success factors of training transfer, they can ensure a better training transfer. In this study, the transfer design considerations are discussed in detail, and their practical consequences are provided for training transfer in general and training professionals in particular. Originality/value The training transfer literature showcases two significant gaps; first, it lacks appropriate characteristics, and second, there is variability in the results. This study bridges the gaps and attempts to advance our understanding of training transfer grounded in the theoretical framework by focusing on learner characteristics, instructional design and work environment in training transfer, which predictor variables can improve training transfer. This study also contributes to the current training transfer literature by proposing a combination of factors that provide a theoretical foundation for developing a solid training transfer theory.

“…People's attitudes vary in how they manage themselves during a crisis. People's fears (affective) and beliefs (cognitive) influence their actions to protect themselves (behavior) and further strength their attitudes toward the crisis, such as COVID-19 (Yang & Watson, 2021). It is not necessary to sacrifice performance for production; leaders with data can make informed choices and support a workplace culture that encourages positive work outputs and behaviors.…”

Workplace culture shifts occur in organizations often without knowledge of how to address the shifts or to describe the changes. Having a way to measure these shifts allows organizations to guide cultural development for the needs of the workers, work, and workplace. This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on workplace culture. Measures were taken early in the 15-month disruption and then nearly 10 months later in a single organization of 130 professional staff members. Factor analysis identified work outputs and behaviors as indicators of the level of cultural change. Completeness, timeliness, accuracy, and technology factors are possible to assess the impact of crisis on culture. This study provided evidence that it is possible to measure culture by criteria of work outputs and behavior with the survey developed. Application of the survey and analysis of its results may include better crisis planning and response in other organizations.
