Trainee self-efficacy (SE) and the desire to learn (DL) are also examined as mediators in determining this influence. The sample included 389 employees from a state-owned power transmission organization in Odisha, India. The resultant findings note the direct and positive influence of organizational antecedents on MTT, SE and DL. Trainee SE and DL partially mediate the association between organizational antecedents and MTT. Given a lack of focus on soft skill training transfer in the Indian power sector, this study is of immense value in identifying relevant organizational enablers that motivate the transfer of soft skills. The study also advances the knowledge on the direct and indirect influence of organizational antecedents on MTT in the Indian cultural context. – Reproduced Training motivation to transfer, Soft skill training, Organizational factors, Supervisory support, Indian power sector. 35270 Management and Labour Studies TRAINING AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 395524 IIPA IIPA 2023-02-07 47(3), Aug, 2022: p.298-318 AR127923 2023-02-07 AR
