To begin the validation process for the Learning Transfer System Inventory (LTSI) in Thailand, research replicating Holton, Bates, and Ruona's study (2000) was conducted in Thailand. The LTSI was administered to 1,029 employees. Exploratory factor analysis and MANOVA were used to identify factors. A factor structure almost identical to that of Holton and colleagues was identified. Perceived content validity of the training was identified as the most important factor. Organization type created the greatest number of differences among variables tested.
