Rouiller & Goldstein (1993) offered a conceptual framework
for operationalizing transfer climate; they suggested that
transfer climate consists of two types of workplace cues,
namely situation cues and consequence cues that include
eight distinct dimensions in all. The first set of workplace
cues- situation cues reminds trainees of the opportunities to
use what they have learnt, when they return to work. There
are four types of situation cues are goal cues, social cues,
task cues, and self-control cues. The second set of workplace
cues- consequence cues is the feedback trainees receive after
they apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes gained in the
training back to their jobs. There are four types of
consequences namely positive feedback, negative feedback,
punishment, and no feedback. This study and the
conceptualization of the transfer climate factors by Rouiller
& Goldstein (1993) was a milestone in the identification of
the factors and improving the understanding of such factors,
so that manipulations can be made in the transfer climate to
enhance transfer.
