Abstract

Digital technology has transformed labor market demands, requiring university graduates to possess comprehensive work readiness. This study analyzes the influence of technopreneurship and digital literacy on Information Technology students’ work readiness at private universities. Using a quantitative approach, 307 respondents were selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0. Findings revealed both variables significantly and positively influence work readiness, with digital literacy as the dominant factor. The R² value of 0.63 indicates that 63% of work readiness variance is explained by these factors. Results highlight the importance of integrating technopreneurship and digital literacy into higher education curricula to prepare graduates for digital industry demands. Universities should strengthen project-based learning, startup incubation programs, and applied digital training. This study provides empirical evidence of technopreneurship and digital literacy’s simultaneous effect on work readiness in developing technological ecosystems, contributing to quality education and decent work opportunities aligned with sustainable development goals.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has created both opportunities and challenges for Information Technology graduates, particularly regarding their work readiness in facing industry demands. This study aims to analyze the determinants of technopreneurship, work motivation, and digital literacy on the work readiness of Information Technology students in private universities in Jambi Province. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 307 active IT students selected through proportional random sampling. Data were gathered using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) via SmartPLS 4.1.14. The findings reveal that all three independent variables have a positive and significant effect on students' work readiness, with digital literacy emerging as the strongest determinant (β = 0.341, p < 0.05), followed by technopreneurship (β = 0.312, p < 0.05) and work motivation (β = 0.278, p < 0.05). The model's R² value of 0.67 indicates that 67% of the variance in work readiness is explained by the three predictors. These results highlight the critical role of integrating technopreneurship and digital literacy within higher education curricula to enhance graduate employability in the digital economy era. The practical implication emphasizes the need for project-based learning, startup incubators, and adaptive digital training programs. The originality of this research lies in its simultaneous examination of technopreneurship, work motivation, and digital literacy as predictors of IT students' work readiness within an Indonesian regional higher education context, an area rarely explored in prior studies
