Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Young people are agents of national transformation that drive the country towards global aspirations. To spur national transformation in line with religious and cultural values, applying the values of integrity of young people directly produces ethical leaders and reduces the tendency of immoral acts in the country's political system. To test the value of integrity, Informal Social Control was selected to be tested on 400 students from four Higher Education Institutions in Melaka namedly Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Multimedia University (MMU) and Kolej Universiti Islam Melaka (KUIM). The Informal Social Security Scale Instrument is formed from the Social Bond Theory and the Religious Scale to test the value of the integrity of the young through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the establishment of Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model of informal Social Control scale. Findings show that multi-dimensional models of social control scales have achieved goodness of fit accuracy and achieve convergence validity based on significant relationship variables. This scale also achieves discriminant validity and predictive validity that supports the psychometric characteristics of the Malay version. This study directly contributes to the formation of an Informal Social Control Scale that is less attention to researchers.
