motivation of employees toward training
and factors influencing their motivation toward training. The dependent variable in this
study was motivation of employees toward training while the independent variables were
organizational commitment, perceived importance of training, supervisor support, and
organizational culture. A survey methodology and an instrument of questionnaire in the
form of Likert Scale type were used to obtain data from 55 respondents from
a total population of 340 employees of Malaysia Airports Sdn. Bhd., Kuching International
Airport. The characteristics of the respondents were described in terms of their age,
gender, academic qualification, length of service, and unit of service. Pearson correlation
test was used to determine the relationship between organizational commitment (r=0.438,
p<0.01), perceived importance of training (r=0.581, p<0.00), supervisor support (r=0.576,
p<0.00), organizational culture (r=0.475, p<0.00) and motivation of employees toward
training. Findings of this study showed that there were significant relationships between
all these factors with motivation of employees toward training. Stepwise multiple
regression analysis was also used to determine the dominant factor influencing
motivation of employees toward training. Findings showed
that perceived importance of training as the dominant factor influencing motivation of employees toward training.Findings of this study can help the management of
Malaysia Airports Sdn. Bhd., Kuching
International Airportunderstand and predict the motivation level of the employees
