Moderated Mediating Effects of Training Transfer and an HRD System on the Relationship between the Effectiveness of E-learning and Employee Productivity

The purpose of the study was to analyze the moderated mediating effects of training transfer and an HRD system on the relationship between effectiveness of e-learning and employee productivity. We utilized the 7th data of the Human Capital Corporate Panel (HCCP) and a total of 3,504 responses. The results are as follows: (1) there was no statistically significant relationship between the effectiveness of e-learning and the employees’ productivity; (2) training transfer mediated the relationship between the effectiveness of e-learning and the productivity of employees; (3) The HRD system moderated the relationship between the effectiveness of e-learning and training transfer; and (4) there were statistically significant moderated mediating effects of training transfer and the HRD system on the relationship between the effectiveness of e-learning and employee productivity. Based on the findings, we discussed theoretical and practical implications from the human resource development perspective.
