This research is an empirical study of the relationship between organization culture, as perceived by employees, and the work-environment-related learning transfer factors in organizations, which we call learning transfer environment (LTE). To measure perceptions of organization culture, we use the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument and categorize organizations as clan, adhocracy, market or hierarchy. To measure LTE, we use a subset of the Learning Transfer System Inventory items, including items such as feedback and coaching received, supervisor and peer support, supervisor reprimand, resistance or openness to change and personal outcomes (positive/negative). Our results reveal that many of the LTE factors are systemically related to perceptions of organization culture type. Some organization culture types support certain learning transfer factors more than others. Specifically, flexible organizations (defined as predominantly clan and/or adhocracy cultures) have a more supportive LTE than stable organizations (defined as predominantly market and/or hierarchy cultures).

Conclusion

Our hypothesis in this study is that perceived organization culture impacts the LTE. Our hypothesis is broadly validated. In general, it is seen that perceived flexible organizations (clan and adhocracy) support learning transfer and factors like supervisor support, peer support and performance coaching are higher in these organizations. Resistance to change is higher in perceived internal facing (clan and hierarchy) organizations.

The LTSI holds significant promise in its ability to diagnose barriers to transfer, provide support for data-driven interventions to address those barriers and isolate critical factors for evaluating training effectiveness. The transfer environment is affected by organizational culture (Holton et al., 2003). By researching the interplay between two established frameworks, one on LTE and the other on organizational culture, our empirical research shows that individual’s perception of organizational culture impacts the LTE. Although this can pave way for further academic research related to organization culture, learning transfer, transfer environment and organizational learning, it can also help practitioners to improve the LTE based on their prevailing organizational cultures.
