THE ROLE OF MANAGEMENT IN TRAINING PROGRAMMES ON LEARNING MOTIVATION FROM THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE (Peranan Pengurusan dalam Program Latihan Terhadap Motivasi Pembelajaran Mengikut Perspektif Islam)

Nur Izzaty Mohamad, Suhaila Abdullah

Abstract


ABSTRACT

The training programme is a critical function in human resource management that can help enhance the competitiveness and performance of organisations in the global competition era. From an Islamic and empirical perspective, most early studies on organisational training have found that the role of management in training programmes can enhance learning motivation. Although this nature has been extensively studied, the role of management in training programmes is not thoroughly discussed in the literature on Islamic and Western training management studies. This study assessed the nature of the role of management in training programmes (management support and training content) and learning motivation based on structured interviews to collect data from public sector employees in Malaysia. The study’s findings explain that the management’s ability to fulfil its role consistently can stimulate employee learning motivation. The findings can serve as a guide for practitioners to understand the complexity of the role of management in designing training programmes and in formulating a strategic action plan. This plan aims to enhance leadership training skills to achieve and maintain organisational goals and strategies in the era of globalisation and a knowledge-based economy.

ABSTRAK

Program latihan merupakan fungsi kritikal dalam pengurusan sumber manusia yang boleh membantu meningkatkan daya saing dan prestasi organisasi dalam era persaingan global. Dari perspektif Islam dan empirikal, kebanyakan kajian awal berkaitan latihan organisasi mendapati bahawa peranan pengurusan dalam program latihan dapat meningkatkan motivasi pembelajaran. Walaupun sifat ini telah dikaji secara meluas, namun peranan pengurusan dalam program latihan tidak dibincangkan secara menyeluruh dalam konteks literatur pengurusan latihan yang berasaskan Islam dan Barat. Demikian itu, kajian ini menilai sifat peranan pengurusan dalam program latihan (sokongan pengurusan dan kandungan latihan) dengan motivasi pembelajaran berdasarkan temu bual berstruktur untuk mengumpul data daripada pekerja di sektor awam Malaysia. Dapatan kajian melaporkan bahawa keupayaan pengurusan memenuhi peranannya secara konsisten dalam pengurusan latihan boleh meningkatkan motivasi pembelajaran pekerja. Penemuan ini dapat dijadikan panduan kepada para pengamal untuk memahami kerumitan peranan pengurusan dalam mereka bentuk program latihan dan merangka pelan tindakan strategik. Pelan ini dapat meningkatkan kemahiran latihan kepimpinan untuk mencapai dan mengekalkan matlamat serta strategi organisasi dalam era globalisasi dan ekonomi yang berasaskan pengetahuan.
