The present paper examines the effect of two effective factors, namely motivation and job satisfaction, on the effectiveness of on-the-job training (OJT) in the Iranian Oil Industry. Therefore, two main hypotheses and six submain hypotheses were defined and all were confirmed. The population of the study was composed of oil industry official employees. The sample of research was taken from the employees of three main companies of oil industry: petrochemical, oil refinery and distribution, and national Iranian oil company in the north, center, and south areas. It was taken by a simple random method with drawing lots. Its size was 171 people according to Morgan table and Cochran formula. Questionnaires developed by the researchers formed the data collection tool. The hypotheses were examined, and the data were analyzed by multiple regression tests. The results showed significant relationship of job satisfactions and staff motivation with OJT courses. Stronger dependency was found between motivations and job satisfaction variables with the effectiveness of attitude training courses.
