• Training
• Cross-cultural training
• Culture

Training is an important function of human resource management. However, prior research about the relation between culture and training mostly focuses on a particular region, uses a few single case studies or examines only one or a few dimensions of culture at a time. We believe a more holistic and systematic approach is warranted. To address this need, we provide a theoretical framework which proposes that cultural factors affect training effectiveness via (1) contents and methods, (2) selection of trainers, and (3) learners' motivation, valence and learning style. In the context of cross-cultural training, we also reason that the congruence between parent and host culture influences training process and effectiveness. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
