The determinants of employees� transfer performance in E-learning at workplace in Malaysia.

Over the past few years, the number of e-learning programs implemented in corporate settings has increased dramatically and e-learning has become a major form of training and development within organizations. Despite the vast effort and resources invested in and the high expectations of e-learning in organizations, there is lack of evidence to support organizations� assumption that e-learning is effective. Accordingly, this proposed study intends to investigate the effect of factors associated with e-learning on transfer of training in e-learning settings. The objectives of this proposed study are: (1) to investigate the extent of e-learning implementation in Malaysia; (2) to examine the relationship between learners� characteristics and employees� transfer performance in e-learning; (3) to examine the relationship between e-learning program design and employees� transfer performance in e-learning; and (4) to examine the relationship between work environment and employees� transfer performance in e-learning. The target population of this proposed study is employees from MSC status companies who have taken e-learning courses.
