Issues concerning training effectiveness in military contexts have increasingly focused on the role of psychological factors in shaping cadets' learning experiences and outcomes. This study examined the association between locus of control and training outcomes among cadets at Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM). A total of 887 cadets participated in this cross-sectional survey, completing the Work Locus of Control Scale (Spector, 1992), the adapted New General Self-Efficacy Scale (Chen, Gully, & Eden, 2001), and the Transfer Implementation Intention scale (Machin & Fogarty, 2004). Correlation analyses revealed that training self-efficacy was positively correlated with internal locus of control and powerful others, but not with chance. Transfer intention was positively correlated with internal locus of control, while no significant relationships were found with powerful others or chance. Regression analyses showed that locus of control dimensions explained only a small proportion of variance in the outcomes, with internal locus of control emerging as the most consistent predictor. These findings highlight the role of internal control beliefs in enhancing cadets' confidence in their training abilities and their motivation to transfer acquired skills into practice.
