Abstract

The concept of good citizenship comprises a variety of critical components that are required for a community to function well. Good citizenship requires engaging in ethical and responsible behaviour, actively contributing in the community, and adhering to both legal and ethical standards of conduct. The significance of citizenship values in fostering moral accountability and promoting active involvement in global concerns among the youth is receiving increasing recognition, thus establishing them as a crucial element of good citizen. However, due to a lack of citizenship education development in Malaysian higher education, young people's skills, knowledge, and attitudes toward citizenship values remain moderate. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between Malaysian youth attitudes toward good citizenship values. A questionnaire-based study was conducted among 117 university students from Malaysian public universities. The present study employed multiple regression analysis to test four hypotheses. The findings indicate that only membership was found to have a significant relationship with citizenship. The study's findings were analysed to identify both theoretical and practical implications, which can inform future research endeavours in this area of study.
