Toward an integrative theory of training motivation: A meta-analytic path analysis of 20 years of research.

“An alternative to Kirkpatrick's (1976) approach has been suggested by Kraiger, Ford, and Salas (1993).”

“Transfer models have attested to the impact of these factors on the ability to use knowledge in work situations (Colquitt, LePine, and Noe 2000; Holton III, Chen, and Naquin 2003; Machin and Fogarty 2003; Facteua and Dobbins 1995; Johnson, Gueutal, and Falbe 2009; Alavi and Leidner 2001; Johnson,…”

“With regard to trainee characteristics, the majority of empirical studies reported in the literature have focused predominantly on trainee personality factors (Colquitt et al., 2000; Warr and Bunce, 1995), trainee ability (Colquitt et al., 2000) and motivational factors (Santos and Stuart, 2003).”

“Some research has demonstrated that personality variables such as conscientiousness (Colquitt et al. 2000), locus of control (Noe 1986) and anxiety can predict pre-training self-efficacy which is in turn related to a variety of training outcomes through motivation to learn.”

“Motivation to learn describes a learner’s desire to learn the content of the training program and has been shown to influence learning effectiveness (Colquitt et al., 2000).”

“Colquitt et al. (2000) reported that motivation to learn has a strong effect on transfer ( p = .58) and a moderate effect on declarative knowledge ( p = .27) and skill acquisition ( p = .16).”

“A recent study by Colquitt, LePine, and Noe (2000) suggests that training motivation is multifaceted and influenced by a set of individual characteristics (cognitive ability, self-efficacy, anxiety, age, conscientiousness, and situational).”

“Similar to the finding by Connolly (2001), this dissertation did not find a significant relationship between the learning agility simulation and learning goal orientation. This finding is consistent with De Meuse and colleagues’ (2010) contention that the ability to learn from job experiences consists of more than jus…”

“Colquitt, LePine, and Noe (2000) demonstrated pretraining self-efficacy as one of the antecedents to motivation to learn, while Sitzmann and Ely (2011) identified self-efficacy as a key mechanism having a moderate to strong effect on self-regulated learning.”

“’s model and by other training motivation models, such as Colquitt et al. (2000) and Mathieu et al. (1992). In addition, the results of this study suggest that certain outcome variables in the motivation process (i.”

“Several research works have shown the relationship between self-ef fi cacy and motivation to transfer as well as between self-ef fi cacy and intention to transfer (e.g., Colquitt et al., 2000; Simosi, 2012; Velada et al., 2007).”

“Motivation describes the desire to learn the training content; motivation is based on the conviction that efforts during the training will influence learning and that such efforts will be helpful to achieve the desired results [42].”

“In summary, the purpose of our study is to investigate the interactive effects of trainee characteristics and contextual factors on training transfer (Blume et al., 2019; Colquitt et al., 2000; Gully & Chen, 2010).”

“…support for learning self-efficacy as a positive predictor of cognitive, skill-based, and affective learning outcomes (Bandura, 1986; Bandura & Locke, 2003; Chen, 2017; Colquitt, LePine, & Noe, 2000; Komarraju & Nadler, 2013; Locke & Latham, 2002; Schunk & Zimmerman, 2012; Sitzmann & Ely, 2011).”

“Self-efficacy, as the key motivational outcome, provides the forces for trainees to continue exerting effort to adaptive transfer (Colquitt et al., 2000).”

“Devos et al. (2007) found no significant correlations with transfer (defined as both the use of the new learned skills and the consequences of this use).”

“Colquitt et al. (2000) confirm this finding. Therefore, our expectation is that workers with a more internal locus of control are more likely to use their vouchers. Anxiety is a measure of whether individuals fear situations with which they are not familiar. Fear of exams is a typical factor for which individuals with…”

“A positively experienced implementation of the organisational intervention is more likely to have the desired positive impact on employees' motivations, performance, job satisfaction, trust, organisational commitment and organisational climate than one that is experienced negatively (Colquitt, LePine and Noe 2000 ; Ra…”

“Moreover, creating a conducive training climate is crucial for ensuring that employees engage in trained behaviors on the job (Colquitt et al., 2000).”

“Thus, taking into consideration all the elements cited above, learning motivation is best described as the impulse to persevere in a given behavior in terms of both direction and intensity, to achieve academic success (Colquitt et al., 2000; Talida, 2021).”

“Higher career commitment can increase motivation to learn (Colquitt et al., 2000), performance effort (Lee et al.”

“19 The questionnaire elicited students’ confidence in their mathematics ability, their efforteffectiveness belief, and their state self-esteem to allow us to explore mechanisms as well as gender, character traits, and demographic information that enabled us to explore possible heterogeneities in treatment effects (Ilg…”

“Furthermore, age is negatively related to the desire to acquire novel information (Carstensten 1998; Colquitt et al. 2000; Kanfer and Ackerman 2004).”

“As for achievement and persistence in courses, it would be highly surprising if a single factor could explain postponement in FD completion (Bruinsma et al. 2004; Colquitt et al. 2000; De Clercq et al. 2012; Robbins et al. 2004; Tinto 1993).”

“Training research highlights that GMA is the key individual difference through which knowledge is acquired, retained, and applied on the job (Colquitt et al., 2000).”

“Furthermore, SEM classifies the sample sizes as follows: 100 is poor, 200 is reasonable, 300 is good, 500 is very good and more than 1000 is excellent (Comrey and Lee 1992; Mvududu and Sink, 2013).”

“Interest in the personality measures stems from research findings that personality predicts important job-related outcomes such as job performance (Barrick et al., 2001), training performance (Colquitt et al., 2000), and teamwork and team performance (Peeters et al., 2006).”

“Conscientiousness has been known to influence training motivation (Colquitt and Simmering 1998) and motivation to learn (Colquitt, LePine, and Noe 2000).”

“…of training clearly indicate that employees who are more involved in their jobs have higher motivation before attending a training programme and can more easily change and improve their job behaviour, compared with employees who are less involved in their jobs (Colquitt, LePine, and Noe 2000).”

“Moreover, in a meta-analysis study of the training literature, Colquitt et al.(2000) hold that posttraining self-efficacy is the main motivational training outcome.”

“The literature provides detailed treatment of self-efficacy within Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1977, 1997; Pajares, 2002), training-specific self-efficacy and motivation (Colquitt et al., 2000), and the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991).”

“Furthermore, motivation was shown to explain incremental variance in training outcomes beyond the effect of cognitive ability, even when considering the impact of cognitive attributes.(10) In a study exploring the link between occupational engagement and motivation of older adults with serious illnesses, occupational…”

“Prioritizing organizational commitment, job involvement and career exploration and planning are goal contents which have been positively associated with the motivational beliefs in learning and transfer of knowledge and skills (see Tannenbaum et al. 1991; Mathieu et al. 1993; Colquitt et al. 2000; Burke and Hutchins 2…”

“Since self-efficacy and affective experience commonly emerge as important individual factors that explain behavioral responses toward learning in the training literature [20] and in TML research [63], [78], our model incorporates these two learner characteristics.”

“As a result, one of the most up-to-date empirical path models of the training process which resulted from the meta-analysis did not include career exploration variables (Colquitt et al., 2000).”

“Yet, research on learning orientation and motivation to learn (see an integrative review by Colquitt et al. [32] has tended to adopt a generic approach to motivation to learn.”

“, the extent to which they believe their experiences are caused by their actions or caused by factors outside of their control), and individuals’ perceived self-efficacy (Colquitt et al., 2000).”

“This approach, evolving from individual-focused meth-ods, concentrates on developing individual KSAs for collective team outcomes [7, 29, 36].”

“Motivation is a significant driver in explaining human behavior (Colquitt et al., 2000) for compelling direct action (Mook, 1995).”

“The hypothesis that low self-efficacy has a negative relationship with learning is supported in research at the intrapersonal level, establishing positive relationships between self-efficacy and the transfer of learning and training in a perspective of meta-analyses (Blume et al., 2010; Colquitt et al., 2000; Sitzmann…”

“The trainers reported using a variety of transfer- enhancing strategies, most of which are recommended by prior research such as providing (peer) feedback and promoting trainees’ self- efficacy (Colquitt et al., 2000; Lacerenza et al., 2017).”

“…can also be viewed as indicators of an applicant’s interest and motivation toward the job they are applying for (e.g., Kanfer and Ackerman 1989; Colquitt et al. 2000), and thus, it may be this interaction between the cognitive and non-cognitive aspects of the construct that makes this factor…”

“Indeed, conscientiousness is associated with greater desire for success in learning-based tasks (Colquitt & Simmering, 1998; Colquitt et al., 2000) and the inhibition of impulsive behaviours which may encompass maladaptive consequences (Tangney et al., 2018).”

“The transfer process consists of two major transfer variables – motivation to transfer and the transfer behaviour itself (Colquitt et al. 2000).”

“Finally, a third implication for future research concerns theory building to include transfer goals, goal orientations, and goal contents in the kaleidoscope of motivational variables to expand current conceptualizations of training motivation in research on human resource development (Beier and Kanfer, 2009; Colquitt…”

“Strong learning motivation has the positive e ff ects of reducing con fl icts that can occur during training and improving learning outcomes (Colquitt, LePine, & Noe, 2000; Sitzmann, Ely, Bell, & Bauer, 2010).”
