In order to play its crucial functions, qualified health human resources are required to implement optimal and quality services.To produce human resources with good performance, there are several factors that must be considered such as religiosity and motivation.

The subjects of this study are health workers at Puskesmas Kalangsari, Karawang Regency in 2022, namely 30 respondents who were selected through a total sampling technique using the Slovin formula. The data collection technique was carried out using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability.
