“…Baldwin et al (1991) suggested in a study that employees with greater motivation before training on the foundation of their willingness to participate in training have better learning results as compared to those employees who have lower level of pre-training motivation. Motivation to learn is the most significant element of the effectiveness of training program as compared to other factors, grounded on the response towards the training (Cannon-Bowers et al 1995). Research studies confirmed that there is a highly significant connection between employee motivation to learn and their organizational commitment (Bartlett, 2001;Ahmad & Bakar, 2003).…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate impacts of training on organizational commitment and turnover intentions in private sector of Saudi Arabia. The study seeks to focus the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intentions of the employees. A literature review of organizational commitment and employee turnover provides the basis for the research model and hypotheses. A self-administered questionnaire was used, involving 251 respondents from leading private organizations of Saudi Arabia to collect data and testing the existing theory. The results provide strong support for the hypothesis that is the negative relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention. Employees' training is significantly correlated with organizational commitment, turnover intentions and the commitment-turnover relationship.The sample was limited to private organization in Saudi Arabia. It may not be appropriate to generalize the findings across other populations or settings. However, the sample can be viewed as a representative case typical of many other organizations in the same industry. The results provides insight into the impact of organizational commitment on turnover intentions in the specific private sector of Saudi Arabia, which might benefit for managers and policy makers of the concerned organizations and in general for the whole sector. The paper studies the problems that exist in the private sector of Saudi Arabia.

“…Based on the literature, training transfer is a surrogate for training effectiveness which means that training transfer can be used in place of training effectiveness in research models (Cannon-Bowers, Salas, Tannenbaum, & Mathieu, 1995;Facteau et al, 1995;Noe & Schmitt, 1986;Thayer & Teachout, 1995). Before a technical school can effectively train students, it would be beneficial to understand the influences on training transfer.…”

“…The literature has shown links between the constructs of training transfer and training effectiveness (Alliger, Tannenbaum, Bennett, Traver, & Shotland, 1997;Cannon-Bowers et al, 1995;Salas et al, 2003). The more common connection has been to use training transfer in combination with other constructs such as pretraining motivation and other factors such as tests scores from evaluations given at the training, and evaluations scores from on the job, to form training effectiveness (Baldwin & Ford, 1988).…”

“…9,10 Individual characteristics were strongly positively related to indicators of training performance, and motivation to learn and expectation fulfillment were positively related to subsequent job performance. 11,12 Considering the importance of the trainee characteristics on the acquired knowledge or clinical performance of the dental practitioner, a quantitative research was designed. This study aims to ascertain whether possessing the four trainee characteristics, i.e., motivation to learn, reaction to training, expectations from training, and organizational commitment could facilitate acquired knowledge from training.…”

Background:Organizations spend an extensive amount of time and money on training in order to promote employees' learning, development, and job-related competencies. This study examined the influence of trainee characteristics of the dental practitioners attending the continuing medical education (CME) on"dental pharmacology and patient safety" and their effect on acquired knowledge. Methods: The trainee characteristics of the dental practitioners were conceptualized into four dimensions: motivation to learn, reaction to training, expectations from training, and organizational commitment. A questionnaire containing 20 items related to measuring the levels of knowledge acquired from training were included. With SPSS ver. 21, central tendencies and dispersion, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression were measured (p<0.05). Results: The results of this study found a positive correlation between the independent variables. Through linear regression, a positive correlation between the independent variables and acquired knowledge was discovered. Conclusion: A combination of personality traits is vital for dental professionals to excel in dental training programs.
