Abstract
This study aimed to examine the relationship between risk-taking tendency and two other variables assumed to be antecedents, i.e., religiosity, and transcendental future time perspective. This study used a quantitative approach by survey method in collecting data. Respondents of this study (N=203) are civil servants from thirteen government institutions. Three questionnaires were used in collecting data which were risk-taking scale, religiosity scale, and transcendental future time perspective inventory. The result of this study showed that people with high religiosity is low in terms of economics, ethics, social, health, and recreational risk taking tendency. Strong belief about the afterlife would support people avoiding economics, ethics, health, social, and recreational risk taking tendency. In choosing a domain of risk taking, most of the respondents were influenced by the environment, especially their workplace culture and their status as a civil servant.
