Grounded in Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, this study aims to examine the role of opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support on self-efficacy and training transfer. This study also aims to examine the moderating effect of gender.
This study involved a cross-sectional survey of 639 employees from Indian organizations. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. To examine the moderating role of gender, a multigroup analysis was performed.
This study found that opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support predict training transfer through self-efficacy. This study also found that self-efficacy is positively related with training transfer. Most of the relationships among the variables were stronger among male respondents compared to the female respondents.
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study stands among the pioneers that explores the role of self-efficacy and gender in training transfer within the context of an emerging economy, India.
