Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of teacher competence, learning materials, and learning facilities on employee motivation in participating in training. Employee motivation is an important aspect in the effectiveness of training programs, especially in improving the competence and professionalism of human resources in the public sector. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method, involving 68 respondents who had participated in training over the last two-year period. Data were obtained through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software version 25. The results showed that teacher competence did not have a significant effect on motivation (Sig. 0.365), while learning materials (Sig. 0.012) and learning facilities (Sig. 0.000) had a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, the three variables had a positive and significant influence (F = 22.676; Sig. 0.000) with a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.493, which means that 49.3% of the motivation variation was explained by the three independent variables. The results of the study confirm that the relevance of the material and the availability of learning facilities are the dominant factors in increasing employee motivation to take part in training.
