Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of career planning, work interest, and self-efficacy on work readiness among alumni of the Management Faculty at Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa. The methodology employed a survey approach using a structured questionnaire distributed online to a sample of 60 alumni, derived using Slovin’s formula. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS), a form of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), to test the relationships among variables. The results revealed that career planning and work interest have a significant positive effect on work readiness, while self-efficacy did not significantly influence work readiness. These findings contribute to understanding the factors that enhance work readiness, especially the importance of career planning and work interest. The practical implication of this study is that universities should focus on improving career planning programs and fostering work interest to better prepare students for the workforce. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in providing empirical evidence on the role of career planning and work interest in the context of work readiness, reinforcing the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) framework.
