Can the <scp>LTSI</scp> Predict Transfer Performance? Testing intent to transfer as a proximal transfer of training outcome

Abstract

Law enforcement personnel ( n = 235) were administered the Learning Transfer Systems Inventory ( LTSI ) and a transfer measure after completing leadership development training. Although most studies using the LTSI have focused on validation efforts in different linguistic settings, this study is one of the few to examine the relationship between the LTSI factors and a proximal transfer outcome score (as measured by intent to transfer). Motivation to transfer, transfer design, and transfer performance expectations had the strongest relationship with intent to transfer, and the motivation subscales (motivation to transfer, performance expectations, and outcome expectations) accounted for the largest amount of unique variance in intent to transfer.
