Abstract: The purpose of this study is to measure the relationship between trainee’s self-efficacy, OJT and classroom training on training effectiveness in the Malaysian construction industry. From 248 surveys that have been randomly distributed to multiple department’s employees working in the construction companies; 73% response rate was collected (n = 180). The analyses of the internal consistencies of the scales yielded satisfactorily and all studied variables were positively and significantly correlated with the value between 0.218 and 0.596 and there is no evidence of multicollinearity. The first regression analysis has found that self-efficacy (R2 = 0.114; β = 0.337, p<0.05), OJT (R2 = 0.198; β = 0.444, p<0.05) and classroom training (R2 = 0.351; β = 0.596, p<0.05). The multiple regression model produced self-efficacy (β = 0.157, p<0.05), OJT (β = 0.192, p<0.05) and classroom training (β = 0.486, p<0.05) on training effectiveness using with variance of 42.7%. In both models, classroom training has shown to have better causality in comparison to other factors in both analyses. The results of the current study have consistent with prior studies that found self-efficacy, OJT, classroom training were positively and significantly affect training effectiveness. The significant of training effectiveness on organization was discussed.
