Abstract
Purpose of the study: This study is to investigate the influence of Core Values (Honor, Loyalty, Courage, Pride) on the employees’ job performance (JP) in the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) at Lumut Naval Base.
Methodology: The data was analyzed using SPSS statistical tools. A descriptive-analytical approach; a simple random sampling of 260 employees was used for analysis. Employed quantitative analysis, data collected through a close and open-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The respondents represented came from the three branches of the RMN consisting of Seaman, Technical, and Supply branch.
Main Findings: The findings were found that courage has a significant influence on the employees’ job performance. The findings also revealed that honour has positively influenced employees’ JP in the RMN
Applications of this study: The implications of this study found that the Honour value is the main factor amongst the other variables. It is the most important component in manipulating the Job Performance of the RMN personnel followed by the Courage value. The other two core values, Pride and Loyalty values did not influence Job Performance as expected. At the beginning of the study, it was expected that the Core Values of the RMN would be the elements that would influence the job performance in the RMN organization since it was launched on 16 August 2011.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Models and theoretical application that can be used for future research could also offer a different perspective of understanding and comprehension as opposed to previous study and research, thus this is one of the Novelties in this study.
