Abstract

The election of the village head is a manifestation of the existence of a democratic party, in which the people are directly involved in it. Various attempts have been made by the candidate for village head in order to win the village head election process, one of which is money politics. Money politics is a form of cheating at a democratic party. Students as agents of social change are required to show their role in real life. However, there were still many students participating in money politics. Max Weber's social action theory is used as an analytical tool on the rational actions of students who participate in money politics in village head elections. Rational action is divided into four types namely instrumental rational action, value rational action, affective action, and traditional action. The method used in this research is qualitative, using a phenomenological approach. The data from this study were obtained primary data and secondary data from national and international journals, books, internet, and scientific articles. The purpose of this study was to identify sources of information, perspectives, factors, processes and the rationality of students participating in money politics in the village head election. The results show that the rationality of students participating in money politics is caused by internal factors and external factors.
