Abstract: This study was conducted in oder to measure the effect of the supervisor support and motivation to learn on employee outcomes (i.e., transfer of competency and job performance) using 100 usable questionnaires gathered from technical employees who have worked in one city based local authority in Sarawak, Malaysia (MLAUTHORITY). Outcomes of stepwise regression analysis showed the relationship between motivation to learn and supervisor support had been an important predictor of transfer of competency and job performance. Further, this result confirms that motivation to learn does act as a full mediating role in the training model of the studied organization. In addition, implications and limitations of the study, as well as directions for future research are discussed.
