“…This finding was consistent with those of previous studies (Alliger & Janak, 1989;Chuang et al, 2005;Clement, 1982;Liao & Tai, 2006). Thus, it suggested that, for example, when organizations require employees to participate in training programs more effectively, they should enhance learning motivation among trainees to increase their learning.…”

“…In a review of training effectiveness studies, self-efficacy is one of the main determinants of proximal training outcomes (Haccoun & Saks, 1998) and it has been shown to positively correlate with learning and behavior (e.g., Axtell, Maitlis & Yearta, 1997;Cheng, 2000;Chuang, Liao & Tai, 2005;Gist et al, 1991;Guerrero & Sire, 2001;Martocchio & Webster, 1992;Quinones, 1995). Additionally, several meta-analyses confirmed the relationship between self-efficacy and outcomes pertaining to performance (Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998).…”

“…The effects of individual characteristics have been studied over the past two decades and integrated in training effectiveness models (Campbell, 1988).The empirical literatures in the field of industrial and organizational psychology have shown the interest in how individual traits influence training proficiency (e.g., Chuang, Liao & Tai, 2005;Colquitt, LePine & Noe, 2000). In particular, individual characteristics, such as self-efficacy, learning motivation, trainability, job attitudes, personal characteristics, and transfer of training conditions for learning, have been found to have an impact on training outcomes.…”

Previous research over the past two decades has argued Kirkpatrick's model ignored the work environment and individual factors influencing training effectiveness. A focus of this study is to investigate four levels of Kirkpatrick's model with a focus on moderating the influences of individual and work environment characteristic variables, which are learning motivation, self-efficacy, motivation to transfer, and social support. In the present study, we used path analysis to test the hypotheses. The results of this study expand our understanding of the progressive causal relationship of reaction, learning, and behavior to results. In particular, this study confirms the influence of the individual and work environment characteristic on training outcomes and it has implications for enhancing training effectiveness. Although the result of motivation to transfer as a moderating variable has negative effects on the relationship between learning and behavior, social support directly affects behavior change after training and moderates the relationship between learning and behavior. Furthermore, future research on training evaluation should consider the training design variables beyond the training course that may have interfered with the training outcomes.

“…That these factors were so influential is not surprising, given that behavior is considered to be a product of both the person and the environment (Chuang, Liao, & Tai, 2005;Vermunt, 2005). Social workers have long taken a holistic view of development, acknowledging the dynamic and reciprocal relationships between personal and contextual factors.…”

Gay, lesbian, and queer individuals with a Christian upbringing often experience conflict between religion and sexual identity. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to understand how gay, lesbian, and queer-identified individuals with a Christian upbringing resolve conflict between sexual identity and religious beliefs. Analysis of in-depth interviews with 15 participants led to 3 conclusions. First, resolving the discord between sexual identity and religious beliefs is a five-stage process of internal conflict resolution. Second, personal and contextual factors affect every aspect of the resolution process. Finally, faith development and sexual identity development are intertwined and fluid constructions.

“…The literature reveals that individuals are often affected by their own abilities as well as the environments in which they live (Chuang, Liao, & Tai, 2005;Vermunt, 2005). The remainder of the article will connect the personal and contextual factors to existing literature and then discuss implications for social workers and helping professionals who work with GLQ individuals with a Christian upbringing.…”

This study explores how gay, lesbian, and queer (GLQ) individuals who are raised in Christian families resolve conflict between their sexual identity and religious beliefs. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 GLQ participants who revealed a five-stage process by which they resolved conflict between sexual identity and religious beliefs. Analysis of interview transcripts delineated core categories of personal factors (reflective abilities, strength and resiliency, anger, creativity, and humor) and contextual factors (family, community, church) that affected each of the five stages. In addition to providing details about the core categories of personal and contextual factors, this article will also address implications for social workers serving GLQ clients with a Christian upbringing. Recommendations for future research include the development of evidence-based interventions designed to enhance these personal and contextual factors.
