Descriptive Analysis of Intrinsic Motivation, Job Training and Employee Performance

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to characterize the intrinsic motivation, job training, and performance levels of workers in Malaysia's Klang Valley. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 441 employees from different firms as part of a quantitative research design that used a survey technique. The tools assessed employee performance, job training, and intrinsic motivation. To ascertain each construct's level, data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, specifically mean scores and standard deviations. The results show that workers had a high degree of intrinsic motivation, especially when it came to attitudes about hard work, perseverance, learning, and achievement. The level of job training was also high, reflecting positive perceptions of training effectiveness, relevance, and its contribution to workplace competence. Similarly, employee performance was found to be high, especially in aspects related to initiative, time management, work efficiency, and continuous improvement, while negative work attitudes were reported at a low level. Overall, the findings suggest that employees in Klang Valley possess positive motivational attitudes, favorable perceptions toward job training, and strong work performance. This study provides useful insights for organizations in planning human resource development strategies to support employee growth and enhance workplace effectiveness.
