Jurang digital merupakan satu masalah yang sering berlaku dalam pembangunan ICT. Ia menyebabkan
wujudnya perbezaan besar dalam masyarakat termasuklah perbezaan kemudahan infrastruktur, pemilikan,
penggunaan serta nilai terhadap ICT. Keadaan ini akan menjadikan pembangunan tidak lagi bersifat mapan
dan menyeluruh terutama dalam kalangan belia Orang Asli. Hal ini sekaligus akan menolak mereka untuk terus
ketinggalan dari arus pembangunan perdana negara. Kajian ini melibatkan 480 orang belia Orang Asli yang
berumur 15 hingga 40 tahun. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa belia Orang Asli berada dalam jurang digital,
bukan kerana digital nilai, namun ia lebih kepada jurang digital pengetahuan, kemahiran dan fizikal pembangunan
ICT. Faktor utama yang menyebabkan mereka berada dalam jurang digital ialah masalah ketidaksediaan
kemudahan infrastruktur ICT di persekitaran mereka.
Keywords: Belia Orang Asli, ICT, jurang digital

The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical framework for measuring public sector managers’ career
success. The theoretical foundation used in this study is social cognitive career theory. To conduct a literature
search, several keywords were identified, i.e. career success, objective and subjective career success, managers,
managerial career development and social cognitive career theory. Several electronic databases available in the
university’s library, such as Emerald, EBSCOHost, SAGE, Science Direct and Blackwell Synergy were used
to search for resources. Literature includes sources written in both English and Malay. The four factors that
have predictive potential on managers’ career success are individual-related factors, organizational-related
factors, managerial competencies-related factors, and the person-environment fit factor. Career success should
be operationalised using both objective and subjective career success. The study was exploratory, based on
a literature review. Empirical study is needed to examine the predictive potential of the four key factors (i.e.
individual-related factors, organisational-related factors, managerial competencies-related factors, and personenvironment
fit factor) for public sector managers’ career success. Strengthening the HRD framework through
organisational development, personnel training and development and career development may develop and
unleash individual potential which leads to positive career outcomes (objective and subjective career success).
The research constructs a theoretical framework which outlines the predictive potential of four key factors on
public sector managers’ career success. The four key factors can be developed through HRD practices.
Keywords: Public sector managers, objective career success, subjective career success, moderating variables, gender,
