Abstract

Kajian ini menganalisis tingkah laku kepimpinan masyarakat Semai dalam novel Ludaad karya Mahat A/L China, dengan tumpuan kepada peranan pemimpin dalam menyelesaikan konflik dalaman dan luaran komuniti. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui kaedah analisis kepustakaan dan kerangka Teori Laluan-Matlamat, kajian ini meneliti corak tingkah laku kepimpinan watak Penghulu Busu yang mencerminkan empat dimensi utama: instrumental (mengarah), menyokong, penyertaan, dan berorientasikan pencapaian. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa tingkah laku kepimpinan Penghulu Busu dipengaruhi oleh faktor peribadi (sebagai ketua yang dihormati dan berpengalaman) serta faktor persekitaran (ancaman luar seperti zaman Darurat dan pengaruh komunis), yang menunjukkan kepekaan terhadap konteks budaya Semai serta cabaran eksternal. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada pemahaman mendalam tentang dinamik kepimpinan dalam konteks budaya Orang Asli Semai, khususnya melalui perspektif sastera lisan dan moden yang diwarisi secara turun-temurun.

This study analyzes the leadership behavior of the Semai community in the novel Ludaad by Mahat A/L China, focusing on the role of leaders in resolving internal and external conflicts in the community.Using a qualitative approach through the method of literature analysis and the framework of Path-Goal Theory, this study examines the leadership behavior patterns of the character of Penghulu Busu which reflect four main dimensions: instrumental (directing), supportive, participatory, and achievement-oriented. Findings show that Penghulu Busu's leadership behavior is influenced by personal factors (as a respected and experienced leader) as well as environmental factors (external threats such as the Emergency period and communist influence), which shows sensitivity to the Semai cultural context and external challenges. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of leadership in the context of the Semai Orang Asli culture, particularly through the perspective of oral and modern literature that is passed down from generation to generation.
