ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of religiosity on employee
motivation to learn and motivation to transfer in the context of the public
sector in Malaysia. The data of this study was collected through a survey at
two points of time. The respondents are 306 public sector employees in Malaysia,
who attended a specific training program. The data were analyzed using
structural equation modeling. The findings reveal both religiosity and
motivation to learn were significant predictors of motivation to transfer, with
motivation to learn recording a higher effect than the religiosity. In
addition, religiosity did significantly predict motivation to learn. The result
from data analysis also reveals that the motivation to learn partially mediates
the effects of religiosity on motivation to transfer. It means, the religiosity
has both direct and indirect (thorough motivation to learn) effect on
motivation to transfer. This study extends the literature by providing
empirical evidence that religiosity of employees has a positive impact on
employee motivation to learn and motivation to transfer. This study also
provides empirical evidence that motivation to learn has a mediating effect on
the relationship between religiosity and motivation to transfer.
