Student’S Decision To Participate In Extracurricular: The Influence Of Antecedent Variables
Keywords:
perceived behavioral control, subject norm, attitude, extracurricularAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the antecedents of the student’s decision to participate in extracurricular activities. In order to determine the conceptual model as well as to develop the measurement scale, a literature review was used. The data was collected by distributing an online questionnaire to the students of Almuslim University with a total of 292 valid feedback obtained and then analyzed using SPSS 2.0 to test the research hypotheses. The result shows that all proposed hypotheses are accepted. The findings also indicate that among the three main antecedent variables in the model, perceived behavioral control has the highest effect on the intention to take part in extracurricular activities followed by subject norms that are moderately affected. Meanwhile, the lowest effect of the antecedent is the subjective norm. Furthermore, the quality of extracurricular information as the supporting antecedent has a very less significant impact. Moreover, gender factors have a different influence on the decision to take part in extracurricular activities in which females are more influenced by other advisers compared to males. Uniquely, the decision to take part in extracurriculars is not influenced by the quality of extracurricular information for senior students. On the contrary, the junior group shows the contradictory results. The survey was conducted at a private university in which Almuslim University students were used as the sample. Future research should verify whether the students in the state university will significantly impact the research results.
