There is an increasing concern regarding training effects in organizational results. Organizations invest a lot of money in training and often those efforts do not translate in better or improved results. This study aims to identify how support to transfer and motivation to transfer affect transfer of training and the mediation effects among that. Three corporate trainings were evaluated with 2.975 respondents of a public organization in Brazil. Structural equation modeling was used to test five hypotheses, referring to motivation to transfer, support to transfer and transfer of training. Results indicate that instruments are valid and that support to transfer and motivation to transfer predict transfer of training. Also, motivation to transfer mediates the relation among support to transfer and transfer of training. Therefore, it is necessary to evidence the benefits of training, stimulating trainees' motivation to learn and transfer. They should also have support from their superiors and peers to transfer of they have learned.

Keywords : work training; motivation at work; transfer of training; psychosocial support.
