“…In the field of human resources, systems theory has gained wide acceptance as a critical perspective for viewing and analyzing organizations (Gyimah, 2023; Rahman & Bockarie, 2022; Rahman, 2020; Senge, 1990; Swanson & Holton, 2009; Yawson, 2013) [18,31,33,44,49] . The theoretical basis for this study was General Systems Theory (von Bertalanffy, 1968, as cited in Swanson & Holton, 2009, p. 128-129) [51,44] .…”

This paper describes a semi-systematic literature review that examines how human resource professionals and scholars investigate the relationship between human resource work and green sustainable practices in organizations. The study analyzed the literature on human resources with a focus on sustainability, using the Rummler-Brache model of organizational performance as a framework. The model's nine performance variables were applied to the literature in relation to sustainability so that the literature could be assessed through the lens of this model for organizational sustainable performance. The literature was used to determine the discussion in relation to sustainability. The findings showed that while scholars researched all nine performance variables, "job design" appeared only six times in the reviewed articles out of 83. The most frequently discussed performance variables were organization goals, process goals, and organization management. The implications of these findings for the human resource and sustainability literature were discussed, and suggestions for future research were identified. The study suggests that further research can explore how organizations worldwide can adopt sustainable practices for their growth, sustenance, and longevity.

“…There are three categories of theories supporting the transfer of training: theories of training design (identical elements theory, principles theory, and near & far transfer theory), theories supporting transfer climate (transfer climate framework theory and organisation theory), and theories concerning transfer motivation (goal-setting theory, expectancy theory, equity theory, and need theories) (Rahman, 2020).…”

Developing strategies for successfully transferring knowledge, skills and attitudes from a training programme to the workplace continues to be a key challenge facing organisations. Studies have found that, in general, employees transfer less than 10% of the training they acquire to their workplaces (Georgenson, 1982; Kelly, 1982; McGuire, 2014). Fitzpatrick (2001) and Saks (2002) argue that research regarding transfer of training could be complex because the figure of 10% has never been proven scientifically. Based on this study, we propose that the transfer of training models limit the transfer process because they focus solely on the whys and the why nots of the 10%, limiting the discussion to only the transfer of knowledge, skills, and attitudes from a training programme to a job. We contend that if the transfer of training research and discussion is broadened to include the remaining 90%, which is viewed as a lost job efficiency, one might discover some additional determinants contributing to the transfer of training. Therefore, this study is based on a new determinant called productive networking. In the study, interviews were used as a research instrument to investigate the significance of productive networking in the transfer of training process. Two bodies of literature were reviewed for the study. They were the frameworks of the transfer process set forth by Baldwin and Ford (1988) and Holton (2008), and the theories that support training transfer in organisations. The study determined that productive networking among trainees was a critical factor in the successful transfer of training.

This study explores the intricate connection between the transfer of training and employee job performance, aiming to shed light on the factors that impact the effective utilization of acquired knowledge and skills in today's organizational environment. The paper commences by providing a clear definition and context for the concept of transfer of training, highlighting its importance as a means of connecting learning endeavors with their practical implementation in the workplace. This review focuses on thoroughly analysing the factors that impact the successful transfer of training outcomes to employee job performance. Furthermore, organizations frequently allocate funds towards training programs as a means to augment the skills and capabilities of their employees. Nevertheless, a notable issue arises when these investments fail to produce the desired results in terms of the transfer of training. Ultimately, this review paper consolidates the results of various studies, offering a comprehensive comprehension of the transfer of training and its impact on employee job performance. In addition, the paper highlights deficiencies in existing research and suggests potential areas for further investigation, thereby enhancing the ongoing discussion on learning and performance in organizational settings.
