Dwindling Resources in Developing countries: Core Self Evaluations to the Rescue of Transfer of Training

In its pursuit of resources the developed world needs to invest in not only infrastructure development in developing countries but also in management trainings. This study aims to empirically investigate the links of three dimensions of organizational resource availability with transfer of leadership training through trainee motivation to transfer. It further investigates the positive moderated mediation effects of employee core self-evaluation on these relations in developing world context. The study used a cross sectional quantitative design to study the transfer of training. Survey method was adopted to collect data in three-time waves for the study and Hayes' PROCESS tool and AMOS plug-ins were used for testing the hypothesized relationships. Moreover, data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, most of which have been widely validated, from participants belonging to power sector organization in Pakistan. The findings of the study affirmed all the hypotheses in conceptualized directions.Using transfer of skills as context and individual as a unit of real progress and growth, the study philosophizes a much broader perspective of human social development beyond leadership development in developing countries. With the help of Goal Setting theory, the paper builds a case for HRD professionals in developing world to focus their trainings in developing core self-evaluations in employees and leaders alike. The study proposes the poor nations to be confidant on their self-resources and the rich of the world to have higher goals of helping the poor nations in achieving their own goals.
