ASEAN University Games: Toward Creating First Class Human Capital
Abstract
ABSTRACT: In the perspective of sports, many people believe that sports, national education, and politics are the three most dominant and pervasive social forces that shape a society of a nation, and influence the quality and character of the particular culture. Sports places a significant social responsibility on those who influence sports, which includes the sport administrators, coaches and athletes, officials, and sports media staff. These are the interested parties as to assure that athletes’ involve in competition can helps build positive characters and ethics of the participants, sports fans, and other sport stake holders. This paper, based on the qualitative study, addresses the role of sport towards creating first class human capital. Organizing sports even, such as ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) University Games or AUG and SEA (South East Asian) Games, as a good framework towards developing first class human capital. ASEAN with more than 600 million peoples, not only rich in natural resources, but also endowed with talented human resource has the potential and able to contribute to economic development, where sports will be the starting mechanism. Human capital model discussed in this paper can be a foundation of developing human capital agenda for future labor demand and supply in the job market. Sport itself is an industry that can have an impact on growth and development of a nation.
KEY WORD: Sports; ASEAN University Games; Human Capital; Economic Development.
INTISARI: “Sukan Universiti ASEAN”. Dalam perspektif sukan, ramai berpendapat bahawa sukan, pendidikan negara, dan politik merupakan tiga unsur yang mendominasi kuasa sosial yang menyerlah dalam pembentukan masyarakat, serta memberi pengaruh terhadap satu-satu budaya. Sukan meletakan pertanggungjawaban sosial ke atas mereka yang mempunyai pengaruh dalam sukan, seperti pengurus-pengurus sukan, jurulatih, ahli sukan itu sendiri, pegawai-pegawai sukan, dan media. Kumpulan-kumpulan yang mempunyai kepentingan ini berperanan untuk memastikan peserta sukan yang menyertai pertandingan boleh membantu untuk membentuk sikap positif serta etika ahli-ahli sukan, peminat-peminat sukan, dan pemegang taruh yang terlibat dalam sukan. Kertas ini, berasaskan pengajian kualitatif, membincangkan peranan sukan terhadap pembentukan modal insan kelas pertama. Penganjuran sukan, seperti AUG atau Sukan Universiti ASEAN (Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa Asia Tenggara) dan Sukan SEA (Asia Tenggara), merupakan kerangka yang baik ke arah pembentukan modal insan kelas pertama. ASEAN yang mempunyai penduduk melebihi 600 juta, bukan hanya kaya dengan sumber asli, tetapi juga memiliki sumber manusia yang berbakat dan mempunyai potensi yang boleh menawarkan sumbangan yang besar kepada pembangunan ekonomi, dimana sukan boleh menjadi makanisme ke arah tersebut. Beberapa modal sumber manusia yang diketengahkan dalam penulisan ini boleh dijadikan landasan sebagai agenda pembentukan modal insan kelas pertama untuk keperluan permintaan dan penawaran dalam pasaran buruh di masa depan. Sukan itu sendiri adalah sebuah industri yang dapat memberi impak kepada pertumbuhan dan pembangunan sebuah negara.
KATA KUNCI: Sukan; Sukan Universiti ASEAN; Modal Insan; Pembangunan Ekonomi.
