-Cognitive ability matters for training success, but motivation matters more! -Motivation is likely to be higher when trainees believe in themselves (self-efficacy) and when they value the benefits that a training brings (valence). -Training works when people learn, then apply what they learned to their job and their performance improves. -Skill acquisition and self-efficacy will likely lead to training material being transferred to the job.
