This study examines the role and effects of growth need strength (GNS) in the relationship between training transfer and job performance. Using a qualitative approach, the research employed purposive sampling for in-depth interviews to select mid to senior-level executives from traditional manufacturing and technical service industries. Using open and axial coding, Grounded theory analysis identified five core categories: for instance, 'training attitude' could be a participant's enthusiasm or resistance towards training, ' growth mindset' could be a participant's belief in their ability to learn and grow, 'growth investment' could be the time and effort a participant puts into their personal development, 'growth pursuit' could be the participant's active seeking of growth opportunities, and 'training transformation' could be the changes in behavior or performance as a result of training. The findings reveal that training transfer is a gradual process. GNS plays a crucial role, with high-GNS employees demonstrating stronger learning motivation, higher training participation, and better absorption of training content, collectively enhancing effective training transfer and job performance. The study also found that transfer effects are most significant when training content closely aligns with job tasks. These findings suggest that organizations should design differentiated training programs according to employees' GNS, establish supportive organizational cultures, improve training transfer support mechanisms, and incorporate adaptability cultivation into training programs and performance evaluation systems. This study enriches relevant theories and provides valuable insights for organizations on effective training design and implementation and enhancing employee performance in rapidly changing environments. |
