There has been an increasing interest in the question of how to enhance the effectiveness of the training program through a smooth transfer of the contents of Off-JT to the workplace. While the literature identifies several factors that contribute positively to the training effect, they have not been empirically validated and little is known about the transmission channels through which these factors enhance the training effect. Based on the questionnaire survey on participants in four training programs, this study empirically validates that those factors do have a positive impact on the training effect, and identifies the transmission channels. Specifically, we find that all ten factors identified in the literature ('learning readiness', 'personal match with the content and timing of training', 'training environment', 'quality of peers', 'post-training interaction', 'practice readiness', 'willpower', 'supervisor support', 'workplace climate' and 'motivation to grow') positively contribute to the training effect, and also make the following findings: (1) a causal relationship exists among some of those factors ('learning readiness' → 'personal match' → 'practice readiness' → 'willpower'); (2) 'supervisor support' and 'working climate' positively influence 'learning readiness', but 'motivation' does not affect 'learning readiness'; (3) 'training environment' and 'peer quality' have a direct positive impact on 'personal match', while 'personal match' is indirectly affected by 'supervisor support' through 'peer quality', by 'workplace climate' through 'training environment', and by 'motivation' through 'training environment' and 'peer quality'; (4) 'motivation' and 'post-training interaction' have a direct positive impact on 'willpower', while 'supervisor support' and 'workplace climate' have an indirect positive impact on 'willpower' through 'post-training interaction'; (5) there exists a positive correlation among 'supervisor support', 'workplace climate', and 'growth will'.
