The Effect Of Job Interest and Future Orientation on The Work Readiness of Final Year Students with Self-Efficacy as Intervening
Keywords:
Future Orientation, Job Interest, Self-Efficacy, Work ReadinessAbstract
This study uses self-efficacy as an intervening variable to investigate how job interest and future orientation affect final- year students' work preparation. The increasingly complex and dynamic world of work demands high job readiness, especially during the transition from education to the workforce. Data indicates that higher education institutions remain the largest contributor to unemployment in Indonesia, highlighting the need to enhance students' job readiness. This study uses purposive sampling to select respondents from final-year students at the Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business (FEBI) of the State Islamic University Raden Mas Said Surakarta, with 283 respondents participating in data collection via a questionnaire, and data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS 3. The results of the study reveal that Job interest and future direction have a substantial influence on the work preparedness of final-year students. Additionally, it was discovered that the relationship between work interest and future orientation on work readiness was mediated by self- efficacy. These results demonstrate the value of a clear future perspective and intense curiosity, supported by self-assurance, in preparing pupils for the workforce.Downloads
