Which factor does NOT influence the transfer of training?

• A. Job relevance.
• B. Supervisor support.
• C. Opportunity to practice.
• D. Salary level.

Answer: (D)

Transfer of training is about how well what you learn in training is actually applied on the job. When the training is closely tied to daily tasks, learners see clear value in using the new skills, which boosts transfer. Supervisor support matters because a manager who encourages, coaches, and reinforces the use of new behaviors creates the environment where applying the training becomes part of job routines. Providing real opportunities to practice—on the job, with feedback—helps turn new knowledge into automatic behavior.

Salary level does not directly influence whether the learned skills are used at work. It can affect motivation in broader terms, like attending training or staying with an organization, but the act of transferring what was learned hinges on relevance to the job, supervisory encouragement, and chances to practice.
