Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of school environment management and family environment on students’ morality at UPT SMP Negeri 24 Medan, both partially and simultaneously. This study employed a quantitative approach with a causal-comparative (ex-post facto) design. The population consisted of 942 students, while the sample comprised 281 students selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination with the assistance of SPSS version 26. The results showed that school environment management had a positive and significant effect on students’ morality, with a regression coefficient of 0.300, t-count of 5.718, and significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Family environment also had a positive and significant effect on students’ morality, with a regression coefficient of 0.400, t-count of 7.672, and significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, school environment management and family environment significantly affected students’ morality, as indicated by an F-count of 388.246 with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.736, indicating that the two independent variables jointly explained 73.6% of the variation in students’ morality, while the remaining 26.4% was explained by other factors outside the research model. Family environment was the more dominant variable, with a standardized beta coefficient of 0.506 compared with 0.377 for school environment management. These findings indicate that strengthening school management and creating a supportive family environment are important factors in improving students’ morality.
