학습전이 성과에 대한 연구동향 분석: 국내 학술지 게재 논문을 대상으로

Learning transfer has been a key topic studied in the HRD(Human Resource Development) field. It is because learning transfer was assumed to be linked to individual and organizational performances. However, most studies on learning transfer have focused on the independent variables of learning transfer. The studies dealing with the learning transfer outcomes have been published only recently. Accordingly, the purpose of the current study was to review research trends in learning transfer outcomes by analyzing the articles published in Korean journals. To that end, we collected 289 articles on learning transfer, and analyzed 40 articles that addressed learning transfer outcomes. The findings were as follows: (1) the proportion of the 40 articles dealing with learning transfer outcomes was about 14% of the 289 articles on learning transfer, and 95% (38 out of 40) were published during the recent decade; (2) the foci of the 40 articles were on organizational performance, job performance, and job satisfaction as the learning transfer outcomes; (3) a few articles investigated learner satisfaction, intention to re-participate in training programs, career commitment, psychological wellbeing, knowledge sharing, and mutual communication as the learning transfer outcomes; and (4) the articles reported consistently that the relationships between learning transfer and the outcomes were positive, but implied that a meta-analysis on the relationships was needed. Based on the findings, we provided implications for HRD.
