dimensions of situation cues were identified: goal cues, social cues, task cues,

research on a transfer instrument, incorporating aspects of Rouiller and
Goldstein's (1993) earlier efforts. The model is comprised of seven variables in
the work environment influencing the transfer of learning: supervisor support,
peer support, supervisor sanctions, opportunity to use the learning,
resistance/openness to change, coaching/mentoring, and performance
outcomes.

supervisor participation with the training on the transfer climate, it seems likely
that transfer climate may be influenced by supervisor participation in the training
for the subordinates. Several authors have suggested a possible relationship.
