En aquest estudi hem analitzat la transferència de formació, mesurada per diferents instruments, i la seva relació amb alguns dels factors de transferència en una organització de transport canadenca. La transferència es va mesurar transversalment mitjançant l’aplicació de tres escales a conductors de camions de curta distància. La transferència va ser més alta quan es va aplicar un instrument de referència general en lloc d’un instrument de referència específic, fet que implica que l’elecció de l’instrument podria influir en els resultats. Això posa de manifest la rellevància de la selecció d’instruments en el disseny d’estudis. A més, si bé les correlacions entre la satisfacció amb la formació, la rellevància del contingut, la motivació per a la transferència i la transferència diferien amb els diferents instruments, la correlació entre la rendició de comptes i la transferència no. Contràriament a la tendència d’utilitzar una única mesura de transferència, aquest estudi proporciona evidència empírica de la construcció de la transferència mesurada mitjançant diferents instruments. Aquesta evidència pot ser útil en mètodes d’investigació sobre la transferència de formació per entendre millor el constructe i la seva operativització. Es discuteixen implicacions per a la teoria i la pràctica.
