Abstract


Belia sering dilihat mempunyai semangat yang tinggi dan optimis dalam mendukung idea perubahan dalam sesebuah negara. Idea yang menjadi aspirasi kepada belia dalam sesebuah negara boleh mempengaruhi masyarakat umum. Artikel ini bertujuan mengenal pasti kedudukan, pengaruh antara aspirasi dan hubungannya dengan pemboleh ubah bebas dan bersandar yang mewujudkan suatu aspirasi kepada belia. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah soal selidik terhadap 455 orang responden dari Parlimen Marang yang terdiri daripada belia yang berumur 18 hingga 40 tahun yang dipilih secara rawak berstrata. Hasil kajian menunjukkan belia cenderung memilih aspirasi yang melibatkan gaya hidup, sukan dan ekonomi sebagai pilihan utama. Hasil kajian juga telah menunjukkan bahawa terdapatnya hubungan yang signifikan antara aspirasi dalam kalangan belia. Bagaimanapun, kewujudkan aspirasi dalam kalangan belia tidak mempunyai hubungan yang kuat dengan faktor jantina, umur, pekerjaan dan tahap pendidikan. Implikasi dapatan kajian telah menunjukkan bahawa aspirasi belia yang wujud adalah tidak berdasarkan kepada penilaian-penilaian yang matang daripada belia itu sendiri. Dapatan daripada makalah ini boleh digunakan oleh parti politik untuk merangkan strategi yang sesuai dalam kempen pilihanraya akan datang. Oleh itu, dasar undi pada umur 18 tahun perlu dikaji semula kewajarannya agar penentuan yang dibuat oleh belia dalam suatu pilihan raya tidak dibuat berdasarkan pilihan yang salah.

Youth are often seen as having a high spirit and optimism in supporting the idea of change in a country. Ideas that become aspirations for the youth in a country can influence the general public. This article aims to identify the position, influence between aspirations and their relationship with independent and dependent variables that create an aspiration for youth. This study used a questionnaire method on 455 respondents from the Marang Parliament consisting of youth aged 18 to 40 years who were randomly selected in a stratified manner. The results of the study show that youth tend to choose aspirations that involve lifestyle, sports and economics as the main choice. The results of the study have also shown that there is a significant relationship between aspirations among youth. However, the existence of aspirations among youth does not have a strong relationship with the factors of gender, age, occupation and level of education. The implications of the research findings have shown that the existing aspirations of the youth are not based on the mature evaluations of the youth themselves. Findings from this paper can be used by political parties to devise appropriate strategies in future election campaigns. Therefore, the basis of the vote at the age of 18 needs to be reviewed for its appropriateness so that the decisions made by the youth in an election are not made based on the wrong choice.
