Abstract: Abstract The gap this study addresses is the relationship between absorption, its negative antecedents—distraction and boredom—and its outcomes on learning and training transfer in environments characterized by technological learning. To address this research goal, the purpose of this study is to develop a theoretical model to explain these relationships, in order to understand the role of absorption to shape different training outcomes. While some research has emphasized the positive antecedents of absorption, we focus on the drawbacks of distraction and boredom. In addition, we theorize how creative climate moderates the link between distraction, boredom, absorption and training outcomes.
