    La evaluación de los programas formativos ha recibido atención especial de la investigación. El objetivo del presente trabajo es testar un modelo de evaluación de la eficacia formativa con las características del formando y factores contextuales como predictores. Se facilitó una encuesta a 652 formados de una institución financiera. El resultado demuestra un modelo ajustado y el efecto de las estrategias para la creación de condiciones para la transferencia, la percepción del apoyo de la organización y el compromiso laboral como predictores significativos de la eficacia formativa. Estas conclusiones sugieren que los formados que actúan proactivamente en el ámbito laboral reportan mayor eficacia formativa en el trabajo. Así mismo sugiere que la presencia de apoyo a la transferencia y un mayor compromiso laboral se relacionan directamente con una mayor eficacia formativa. La interacción entre las variables individuales y contextuales es relevante para el desarrollo de la teoría de la eficacia formativa.

    Evaluation of training programs has received special research attention. Testing a training effectiveness model with the trainee´s characteristics and work environment factors as predictors is the goal of the present study. A survey with 652 ex-trainees in a banking institution was conducted. The results show a model with a good fit. Effect sizes of ex-trainee strategies for the transfer of learning, perception of the organization´s support for this transfer and work commitment were significant predictors of training effectiveness. These findings suggest that ex-trainees who act proactively, in the post-training work environment, report more training effectiveness at work. They also suggest that the presence of transfer support and higher work commitment are related with more training effectiveness. The interaction between dispositional and contextual variables is relevant to the development of a theory of training effectiveness on work.
