The research was conducted by dividing the main contents of this study are as follows. First, the Durbin Watson test was conducted to verify the independence of the residuals based on the research model. Second, multiple regression analysis was performed to check how each variable affects education and training transfer. Second, it is checked whether interpersonal and cultural factors act as modulating variables. As a result of the analysis, it was found that intrinsic learning motivation, instrumental learning motivation, learning competency, learning climate, education and training effect, organizational compensation, and intellectual utilization ability, which are variables of educational factors, were significant in the positive (+) direction for education and training transfer. Objective ambiguity, autonomy, and workload, which are job factors, were also found to be significant in education and training transfer. Goal ambiguity was significant in the positive (+) direction for education and training transfer, and autonomy and workload were significant in the negative (-) direction. It was confirmed that the interpersonal and cultural factors had an effect between the independent variable and the transfer of education and training as moderating variables.
