In all those functions which require cognitive thought process, trainability is recently recognized as a major problem for managers. Despite considerable amount of investment in training and development, managers often remain unsuccessful to transfer the training contents to others in their organizations.
This paper analyzes a) the impact of perceived professional learning, supervisor support, and peer support
on job satisfaction and in turn, on the transfer of training; and b) whether job satisfaction mediates the relationship between three variables (perceived professional learning, supervisor support, and peer support), and
transfer of training. A useable sample of 384 managers is drawn from five private hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. A measurement model is constructed with high validity and reliability, whereas hypotheses are tested
using a covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) method. We used SPSS, AMOS and
Jamovi® software applications for data analysis. The results show that perceived professional learning and
peer support have a significant and positive effect on job satisfaction and in turn, on the transfer of training.
Similarly, job satisfaction mediates the relationship between the two variables (perceived professional learning and peer support), and transfer of training. Nevertheless, contrary to our hypotheses, supervisor support
does not have a significant effect on job satisfaction, and job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship
between supervisor support and transfer of training too. This study contributes to the training literature in
three different ways. First, it extends the findings of Western studies to the private healthcare institutions
of Pakistan. Second, it is perhaps the first report to reveal job satisfaction as a significant new predictor of
transfer of training. Third, job satisfaction also mediates the positive relationship between perceived professional learning and transfer of training as well as between peer support and transfer of training. Theoretical
contributions, managerial implications, limitations, and directions for future studies are discussed
