| Summary: | Youth employability is often hindered by a lack of good work attitude among young people. This article
anticipates that the attitude towards work is indicative of the youths’ future behavior at work. It is derived from
a research project that used the stratified sampling technique on 159 respondents and 10 interviewees from
Program Latihan Khidmat Negara(PLKN). The analysis strategy of the research depends on the anomalous
cases of the youth attitudes towards the 9-work attitude construct. The results found correlations between age
and the 9-work attitude construct. They chose work that offers less workload, less competition, and is less
stressful, but offers high income. They were also less creative artwork, uncompromising, indeterminate and
complacent. In terms of emotional aspect, the respondents revealed that they were easily annoyed and impatient
at work, and were unable to work under pressure. The study anticipates their difficult employability situation in
the future.
