Abstract

Motivation to transfer is essential for the transfer of training. Without motivation, newly
acquired knowledge and skills will not be applied at work. The purpose of this integrative
literature review is to summarize, critique, and synthesize past transfer motivation research
and to offer directions for future investigations. First, seven contributions of past research are
presented in an attempt to understand antecedents, correlates, and consequences of
motivation to transfer. Second, an alternative view that complements and extends current
approaches is discussed, and its implications in the
