Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of work skills and family socio-economic status on work readiness, with entrepreneurial attitude as an intervening variable for Vocational High School graduates. A total of 179 graduates of Bima State Vocational School were the research sample, using a non-probability sampling approach, specifically for graduates from 2015 to 2022 who had not worked in their field of expertise for more than one year. The questionnaire instrument was designed based on research variables to collect research data. Data analysis uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that both work skills and family socioeconomic status do not play a substantial role in determining work readiness. On the other hand, having an entrepreneurial mindset has a noteworthy and positive effect on work readiness. Furthermore, it was observed that job skills and family socioeconomic status indeed influence work readiness, with entrepreneurial attitude serving as a key factor. The entrepreneurial mindset heavily shapes the work readiness of vocational high school graduates. Hence, the vocational education curriculum must emphasize the development of entrepreneurial attitudes and work readiness.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of teacher competence, and work skills on work readiness with entrepreneurial attitude as an intervening variable. The research sample was 198 students who graduated from SMK Negeri in Bima City, between 2017-2022. The research instrument is a questionnaire developed from each exogenous and endogenous variable in this research. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The research results show that teacher competence has a significant and positive influence on students' work readiness, but does not have an indirect influence on work readiness through entrepreneurial attitudes as an intervening variable. Work skills have a significant direct and indirect influence on work readiness with entrepreneurial attitude as an intervening variable. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial attitudes do not have a significant effect on students' work readiness. The implications of this research need to be strengthened by increasing teacher competence and work skills so that students have work readiness after graduating from school.
