Abstract
Supervisor support is believed to play a critical role in assuring the effectiveness of corporate training programmes, especially regarding trainees’ transfer of training. Results of studies on the effects of supervisor support on transfer of training are inconclusive, however. One explanation for these differing results is that social (supervisor) support is often considered a one-dimensional construct, however, with a wide variety of conceptualisations of its content. In addition, it is unclear whether the effect of supervisor support on transfer of training is a direct or an indirect effect. The study described in this chapter tested direct and indirect effects of a multidimensional construct of supervisor support on transfer of training among 169 former trainees. Results indicate a small direct effect, as well as a larger indirect effect via the transfer climate and trainee motivation to transfer training. These results thereby stress the importance of supervisor attention for support transfer of training.
