Training management literature emphasized the designing of training program consist of three important elements: (1) training syllabus; (2) instructors' roles; and (3) superiors' support, which may lead to a high impact of training transfer in organizations. However, the role of training motivation as a mediator is given less explanation in the training program. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate and quantify the effect of training motivation in the military training. The measurements were using 329 usable questionnaires gathered from Royal Malay Regiment personnel of Malaysian Army. The outcomes of hypotheses testing showed these interesting findings: training motivation does act as an important mediating variable between training syllabus and instructors' roles in the relationship with training transfer, whilst there are no mediation effect in relationship between superiors' support and training transfer. Further, discussion, implications and conclusion are elaborated.
This descriptive study will be discussing on the disciplinary problems among the army personnel, the contributing factors to the problem as well as coming up with Islamic approach solutions to the problem. This study is significant as discipline plays primary roles in building a man's character. Discipline is also synonymous with one's manners, virtue and courtesy. Several scholars have defined discipline as a mental and moral practices in ensuring one's adherence to rules and regulation for the betterment of the society. Via Al-Quran, Islam has promoted discipline as the interjecting factor which leads to success in this world and hereafter. However, disciplinary problem in any organisation is still the core problem that needs to be resolved. Discipline and the military are synonymous and the ability to adhere to the rules that have been determined is the decisive factor which can lead to one's career excellence in the military. However, there are some military personnel who are involved in disciplinary cases which could compromise the reputation of the military. Zina (unlawful sexual relations), gambling, alcoholism are some of the criminal cases that have been committed by these personnel. It is believed that the occurrences of these cases are due to their lack of religious knowledge and practices (not performing prayers and being ignorant towards the Al-Quran), lack of parental guidance and family problems. Several steps have been taken to counter these problems as well as to curb it from further spreading such as enforcing religious classes. With that note, this paper will investigate how the principles of Al-Quran can assist in the instillation of discipline as outlined in Islamic teachings among the military personnel. This study will use a qualitative method by reviewing related documents, conducting interviews and carrying out observations in order to identify the elements which contribute to this problem. Further in-depth discussion will be carried out on the current disciplinary problems, its contributive factors and resolving steps based on the principles of Al-Quran in order to instill high discipline level within the Malaysian Armed Force.
Training is a vital segment in developing the quality of human capital to achieve the organizational goals. In military, the design of training program is focus on the process in developing knowledge, skills and attitude to prepare personnel for the contemporary security situation. A training framework must be well designed to ensure the training effectiveness and the level of expected performance of the military personnel will achieve. The training program must be triangulate within theoretical and practical aspects to produce a high performance of military personnel. Training management literature emphasized the designing of training program consist of three important elements: (1) training syllabus; (2) instructors' roles; and (3) superiors' support, which may lead to a high impact of training transfer in organizations. However, the role of training motivation as a mediator is given less explanation in the training program. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate and quantify the effect of training motivation in the military training through the Islamic views. In Islamic perspective, training of the military is compulsory regarding to the word of Allah in Surah al-Anfal verses 60: "And prepare against them (enemies of Islam) whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know (but) whom Allah knows." As a Muslim soldier, as well as a duty to defend the country's sovereignty, they are also serves to introduce Islam. Therefore, this role requires the competency, physical strength, mental and spiritual to ensure the excellence, and do not be misled by temptations of lust and enemy tactics.
