Abstract

The university students were in the career exploration stage. Additionally, career adaptability is an important factor that helps students cope with transitions and uncertainties in the workplace. Interestingly, one factor that may enhance students’ career adaptability is grit. This study examined the effect of grit on career adaptability among students participating in a Kampus Mengajar Program. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design, analyzed using simple regression analysis. The research sample consisted of students participating in the Kampus Mengajar Program who were selected using a convenience sampling technique. The findings showed that grit had a positive and significant effect on career adaptability. Students with higher grit levels tended to demonstrate better career adaptability. Descriptively, consistency of interest emerged as the most prominent aspect of grit, whereas curiosity was the strongest aspect of career adaptability. These findings indicate that grit, as a personal resource, can support the development of career adaptability, particularly among students involved in experiential learning programs such as internships.
