Summary:The main purpose of this study being carried out is to highlight the association between employees' perception on training and organizational commitment by using the broadly accepted theories of organizational commitment and the five training-related variables (perceived availability of training, motivation to learn in training, perceived co-worker support for training, perceived supervisor support for training and perceived benefits of training). This study is generally an existing study and being extended to the Malaysia federal public sectors which focusing within the Education Service Commission of Malaysia or also known as Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Pelajaran (SPP) Malaysia. A total of 300 online forms sent through email to all SPP's employees in Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia (250), Sabah (25) and Sarawak (25)). 151 responses were received back and the data had been analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) . From the analysis, it shows that there are strong association between perceived availability of training, perceived benefits from training and perceived motivation to learn towards organizational commitment. Meanwhile, there are no evidences to show the association between the perceived co-workers and supervisor support for training towards the organizational commitment among SPP employees'. Therefore, the result is consistent with previous researches. The research findings also give a theoretical and practical implication to the Education Service Commission of Malaysia to justify the training programs in order to achieve SPP's strategic planning 2016 - 2020.
