Exploring the role of goal theory in understanding training motivation

Abstract: A model to test conceptions from goal theory within an existing framework of training motivation was developed and tested with employees participating in training in a non-profit organization. It was hypothesized that goal orientation ('distal factors') along with self-efficacy, expectancy and valence ('proximal factors') would predict goal intentions as well as training outcomes such as affective responses to training, perceptions of training utility and intention to transfer or use the training provided.

“…In TOWARD A UNIFIED MODEL 11 concert with their conceptualization, trainees in the action phase are focused on attaining transfer, that is: on implementing and using the newly trained knowledge and skills in the workplace. Smith et al (2008) and Weisweiler et al (2013) stated that transfer intentions are necessary but not sufficient for transfer to occur. These authors point out that the union of Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour and Gollwitzer's implementation intentions has the potential to reduce the gap between intention formation and actual transfer behaviour.…”

“…Transfer motivation can interact with performance self-efficacy, expectations, and training reactions (R. Smith, Jayasuriya, Caputi, & Hammer, 2008). The learning transfer system inventory measures transfer effort-performance expectations by measuring the expectation that investing effort to use trained skills and knowledge at work will improve future job performance, and measures performance outcome expectations by measuring the expectation that increased job performance will lead to other outcomes that the trainee values.…”

“…It is also useful to examine the unique contribution a new measure makes to a set of criteria by examining relationships with and without other, well-established predictors (Van Iddekinge & Ployhart, 2008). We assessed training motivation with five items (α = .89), from Smith, Jayasuriya, Caputi, and Hammer (2008). We assessed training motivation with five items (α = .89), from Smith, Jayasuriya, Caputi, and Hammer (2008).…”
