Abstract

The assessment of military spirituality The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) has its own criteria of spiritual obedience. The criteria were compiled by the researcher to be empirically proven. Thus, this study was conducted to analyze the spiritual profile of the military in Malaysia. Quantitative methods through survey study were used on 400 respondents consisting of all three services in MAF (army, navy and airforce). Data were collected using the Malaysian Military Spirituality Assessment Instrument (INPERO) in the form of a closed-ended response questionnaire with a 4-Point Likert scale. The data obtained were then analyzed using the Rasch Measurement Model through the Persons-Items Distribution Map (PIDM) function with a focus on the spiritual level of MAF personnel through each land, sea and air service. The results of this study found that the level of spirituality of the ATM military is at a moderate level based on the findings of the majority of each service (land, sea and air). Therefore, the national defense and security organization of the MAF is proposed to apply this INPERO to establish a clear and systematic reference as a guide for the spiritual assessment of the military of the MAF in Malaysia.

Abstrak
Penilaian kerohanian ketenteraan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) mempunyai kriteria patuh rohani yang tersendiri. Kriteria tersebut disusun oleh penyelidik untuk dibuktikan secara empirikal. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk menganalisis profil kerohanian ketenteraan di Malaysia. Kaedah kuantitatif melalui kajian tinjauan digunakan ke atas 400 responden yang terdiri daripada ketiga-tiga perkhidmatan dalam ATM (darat, laut dan udara). Data dikutip menggunakan Instrumen Penilaian Kerohanian Ketenteraan Malaysia (INPERO) berbentuk soal selidik respons tertutup dengan skala Likert 4-Poin. Data diperolehi kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Model Pengukuran Rasch melalui fungsi Persons-Items Distribution Map (PIDM) dengan tumpuan kepada tahap kerohanian anggota ATM melalui setiap perkhidmatan darat, laut dan udara. Hasil kajian ini mendapati tahap kerohanian ketenteraan ATM berada pada tahap sederhana berdasarkan kepada dapatan majoriti setiap perkhidmatan (darat, laut dan udara). Oleh itu, organisasi pertahanan dan keselamatan negara ATM dicadangkan mengaplikasi INPERO ini untuk mewujudkan rujukan yang jelas dan sistematik sebagai panduan penilaian kerohanian ketenteraan ATM di Malaysia.
