Abstract	:	The purposes of the study were (a) to determine work environment factors that influence the transfer of training skills to the workplace, and (b) to assess the appropriateness of the work environment portion of the transfer of training process model developed by Baldwin and Ford (1988). Data were collected by questionnaires from 371 part-time trainers who were employed by the Credit Bank, Research Center, and Extension Service. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarize and compare means for responses and examine the relationships between the study variables. The major findings reported in the study indicated that: (1) The trainers in the three organizations had been successful in transferring and maintaining the TOT teaching skills to their workplace. (2) The type of organization influenced the work environment and the transfer of training skills to the workplace. (3) The Bank trainers consistently perceived the long-term impact, current level of teaching competence higher, and their work environment factors as more facilitating and supporting to the transfer of training than the Research and Extension trainers. The transfer of training and work environment factors were significantly higher for the Bank than for Research and Extension. No significant difference was found between the Research and Extension. (4) The trainee characteristics of years of teaching experience, organizational rank, and highest degree earned were statistically significant in explaining the transfer of training. (5) Significant relationship was found between work environment factors, type of organization, post-test scores, trainee characteristics and the dependent variables. An overall regression equation was developed to determine the proportion of variance in the long-term impact (usd\rm R\sp2usd =.34) and the current level of teaching competence (usd\rm R\sp2usd =.40) that could be explained by the independent variables. Separate equations also were developed for each individual organization. A number of recommendations for practical, theory and future studies were suggested to strengthen the transfer of training skills of the TOT program and a modified transfer of training model was proposed.
