This study expands on the concept of the learning transfer system and reports on the validation of an instrument to measure factors in the system affecting transfer of learning. The Learning Transfer System Inventory (LTSI) was developed and administered to 1,616 training participants from a wide range of organizations. Exploratory common factor analysis revealed a clean interpretable factor structure of sixteen transfer system constructs. Second‐order factor analysis suggested a three‐factor higher order structure of climate, job utility, and rewards. The instrument development process, factor structure, and use of the LTSI as a diagnostic tool in organizations are discussed.© 2000 Jossey‐Bass, A Publishing Unit of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This study investigated the effects of organization‐based self‐esteem (OBSE) on managers' development in the face of challenging job experiences. Results indicated that OBSE moderated relationships between specific types of challenges and development outcomes in the hypothesized direction: those with low OBSE were more sensitive to challenging job components than those with high OBSE. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed. © 2000 Jossey‐Bass, A Publishing Unit of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This study investigated the role of feedback in nine formal management training settings in a British government agency. This survey‐based study suggests that participants sought information about their performance frequently and from a variety of sources and also indicates that feedback seeking is an important aspect in the process of management training. Implications of the findings for further research and the practice of management training are discussed. © 2000 Jossey‐Bass, A Publishing Unit of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
