Abstract An individual's goal orientation can influence their training motivation training satisfaction. Additionally, with the increased movement of jobs overseas, an individual's perception regarding the intensity of the occurrence of offshoring may influence this relationship. To evaluate the relationships of the dimensions of goal orientation (learning, avoid, and prove) on the dimensions of training motivation (learning and transfer) and training satisfaction, data were obtained from 442 degree-seeking students and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings suggest that learning and prove goal orientations were positively related to motivation to transfer and motivation to learn. Additionally, learning goal orientation and training satisfaction are positively related. Furthermore, offshoring perception particularly influenced the relationships involving learning goal orientation. Specifically, high offshoring perception (the belief that offshoring occurs frequently) strengthens the relationship between learning goal orientation and motivation to transfer, motivation to learn, and training satisfaction.
