Validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by experts, and their reliability were confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and moderator regression analysis and multiple regression analysis.
Results: The results showed that the manner of relationship between organizational factors and learning transfer is different in public and private hospitals (t=4.17; P <0.05); this means that in public hospital, two variables of peer support (Beta=0.221; P <0.05) and collaborative climate (Beta=0.195; P <0.05) are the most important predictors of learning transfer to workplace. But in the private hospital, the most important predictors transfer of learning were opportunity to use (Beta=0.526; P <0.05) and supervisor support (Beta=0.260; P <0.05).
Conclusions: According to study findings, the predictors of learning transfer to workplace are different in public and private hospitals.
