The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting training transfer at the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) through the transfer system framework. Learning Transfer System Inventory (LTSI) was adapted into the Turkish language (T-LTSI), and construct structure of the T-LTSI was examined with exploratory common factor analysis. T-LTSI data collected from 606 respondents attended various in-service training programs delivered by the training center of the CBRT in years 2013, and 2014. Trainee characteristics including gender, level of education, and work experience, and contextual variables such as work unit, training type, and participation type were used to obtain perceptions of training participants on the T-LTSI factors. Further, training transfer scores of the security officers training program participants (n = 95) were used to investigate whether work environment factors of the T-LTSI account for a more significant portion of variance in the training transfer scores, compared to the other factors. Results of factor analysis indicated that T-LTSI can provide psychometrically sound measurement for learning transfer system, in Turkey. In addition, Multivariate Analysis of Variance results revealed that learning transfer system perceptions were significantly different across all the selected trainee characteristics, and organizational variables. Results suggested that these differences must be taken into account in the design and delivery of the training programs in order to improve training transfer. Furthermore, Sequential Multiple Regression analysis disclosed that manager support, personal-outcomes negative, resistance to change were the work environment factors, and explained more variance than other significant predictors (motivation to transfer learning, and transfer design) of training transfer.

An Empirical Analysis of the Bank Lending Channel in Turkey
Ozsuca, Ekin Ayse; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif (2013-07-01)
The purpose of this paper is to empirically analyze the role of the banking sector in monetary policy transmission in Turkey covering the period 1988-2009. By exploiting dynamic panel data modeling approaches, the heterogeneity in banks' lending response to changes in policy interest rates is analyzed. Given the changes in the policy stance and developments in the financial system following the 2000-01 crisis, the analysis is further conducted for the two sub-periods, 1988-2001 and 2002-2009, to examine whe...
