Goal Orientation and Self-Regulation of Job Readiness

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of goal orientation and self-regulation on job readiness. This research method uses a quantitative approach. The subjects of this study were 82 students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Mulawarman who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data collection method is by using a scale of job readiness, goal orientation and self-regulation. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. The data collected was analyzed with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22.0 for windows program. The results showed that: (1) there was a significant effect of goal orientation and self-regulation on job readiness with a calculated F value = 39,164 > F table = 3.11 and a p value = 0.000 and had an influence contribution (R2) )of 49.8%; (2) there is a significant positive effect of goal orientation on job readiness with a coefficient of beta (β)= 0.464, t count = 4.426 > t table = 1.990, and p value = 0.000 (p < 0.05); (3) there is a significant positive effect of self-regulation on job readiness with a coefficient of beta (β) = 0.310, t count = 2.954 > t table = 1.990, and p value = 0.004 (p < 0.05).
