YOUNG INTELLECTUALS’ CASH WAQF ACCEPTANCE IN NEGERI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA: A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION

Abstract

This study employs the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) as a baseline theory to understand young intellectuals' cash waqf acceptance in Negeri Sembilan within the Malaysian context. The model of this study is tested using survey data from 125 respondents. Results obtained indicate that attitude and knowledge positively influence the behaviour of young intellectuals to participate in cash waqf giving. Subjective norm and religiosity are found to be insignificant as factors that influence the cash waqf giving intention. This study spearheads an analysis of young intellectuals’ cash waqf acceptance in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia using the TRA. The results obtained provide valuable insights for Perbadanan Waqf Negeri Sembilan to manage waqf contribution effectively.
