Influence of Field Work Practices, Work Motivation, and Communication Skills on Vocational School Students' Work Readiness

Based on the latest data from the Serang Regency Central Statistics Agency in 2022, the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates is still relatively high compared to graduates of other levels of education, namely 12.87%. Apart from that, from the results of observations, there are still many vocational school students who still need to be ready for work. This is because the industrial internship program has not been able to optimize students' work readiness, students' work motivation still needs to be visible, and students' communication skills still need to be improved for their readiness to enter the world of work. This research seeks to determine the influence of industrial internship, work motivation, and communication skills on vocational school students' work readiness. This research uses a quantitative approach to answer the research hypothesis, which asks whether industrial internship, work motivation, and communication skills are positively correlated with vocational school students' work readiness. This research used a questionnaire distributed to 180 students in seven vocational schools in Serang Regency. This research proved that industrial internship, work motivation, and communication skills significantly influence work readiness (7%). For the conclusions and limitations of existing research, this research provides several suggestions for improving vocational school students' work readiness by paying more attention to the variables of industrial internship, work motivation, and communication skills.

What Matters to Others: A High-Threshold Account of Joint Attention

If only implicitly, social anthropology has long incorporated joint attention as a research technique employed in what anthropologists call “the field”. This paper outlines the crucial role joint attention plays in anthropolgical fieldwork—specifically in Participant Observation—and advances the position that joint attention is a goal rather than a starting point of fieldwork practice. Exploring how anthropologists tentatively use attention as a methodological tool to understand other people’s lifeworlds, this paper draws parallels between Participant Observation and ordinary everyday interactions, thus teasing out a view of joint attention as a goal to be reached only by means of knowing what matters to others in the context of the lifeworld they inhabit.

Fieldwork? Better not: Ethics bureaucracy in Eastern Europe

This article discusses the methodological and ethical challenges posed by the bureaucratization of research ethics in Eastern Europe, particularly as this impacts the practice of anthropology and fieldwork. It reflects on the authors’ extensive fieldwork among Czech‐speaking Protestants in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, highlighting the discrepancy between Western and Eastern European academic norms regarding ethnography. The authors argue that increased formalization and ethical regulation favour more easily bureaucratically managed methodologies, to the detriment of traditional anthropological fieldwork, which is critical for deep cultural understanding.
