Abstract/Summary
This study investigates the level of religious motivation of aspirants, novices, and major seminarians/junior sisters of 13 religious congregations in Metro Manila. On random selection, 301 subjects were taken from the total available population of 527 of both male and female subjects. The instrument used to measure the level of motivation of the respondents was the Religious Motivation Questionnaire developed by Fr. Menguito, SVD. The study used the descriptive method of research for the analysis of religious motivation. Mean scores, standard deviations, percentiles, and percentages of the data were used to assess the level of motivation and ANOVA was used to determine the difference between male and female respondents in three stages of formation on the three factors. The results showed that the level of motivation decreased when the respondents reached the stage of major seminarians/junior sisters, but the difference was not significant. It was also found out that there is a significant difference between male and female respondents in the level of motivation, F (1,263) = 16.40, p .01, with the female religious expressing higher religious motivation. It was concluded that progressive stages of formation do not necessarily enhance religious motivation. It is recommended that special programs be conducted to help the novices to integrate and internalize what was gained during the period of novitiate for a long standing effect in their religious life.
