An online questionnaire (emailing) was circulated to 1800 participants who had received training from BPATC and BCSAA. A total of 307 respondents participated in the study. Principal Component Analysis/factor analysis was used with SPSS tools to discover the elements influencing the desire to transfer training. There were a total of eight variables found, including significant factor loading and commonalities. After that, a simple regression analysis was performed to determine the components that impact motivation to transfer training. Furthermore, a correlation matrix was created to investigate the connection among the variables. The regression model is significant, according to the results. Furthermore, some factors have a positive impact on motivation to transfer training.
