Abstract :
This article has examined the current and favorable situation of training transfer and prioritizing its influencing factors in NPC. Method of this study due to the nature is descriptive of the survey type. The population of this research is 500 people of the National Petrochemical Company employees, according to Morgan table among them 220 people were selected by random sampling. The data gathering tools consist two separate questionnaires are included learning transfer system questionnaire with 46 items and paired comparison questionnaire with16 factors. The results of the one-sample T-test showed that organizational factors with their component included positive personal results, negative personal results, supervisor sanction and supervisor feedbacks/coaching performance in the NPC are placed in unfavorable condition. But colleague support components and support supervisor / managers are in a good condition. Training factors with individual capacity for transfer are in good condition, but component of content validity, transfer design and opportunity of the use in learning is in the unfavorable condition.
