description Transfer of Training is important to organization. This is because organization has invested lots of money for sending their employees to training in order to increase the employees knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Self-administered questionnaire adapted from various sources comprise variables concern transfer of training, selfefficacy, supervisor support, transfer climate, used in data collection. Data gathered was analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences, version 20.0 (SPSS). This study applied factor analysis, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis and inferential analysis to examine the relationship among the variables. The result showed that self-efficacy, supervisor support, transfer climate has significant relationship with transfer of training. Multiple regression results also showed that these variables significantly related to the transfer of training and explained 22.7% the total variance. The implication of this study is organization need to take proactive action to increase the employees self-efficacy level, encourage supervisor give support to their supervisee, and promote good organization climate especially to make transfer of training occur in the workplace, and utilize experience employees.
