ABSTRACT

Abstract. Nhadya Anashthazya Putri Paramitha. The Influence of Internship Subjects, Self-Efficacy, and Career Guidance on the Work Readiness of Students in the Accounting Expertise Concentration at State Vocational High Schools (SMKN) in Bojonegoro Regency. Thesis. Surabaya. Graduate School. 2025.

Work readiness is a key indicator of the success of vocational education in producing competent graduates prepared to face challenges of  job market. However, current reality tells a different story, as many high school graduates continue to contribute to high unemployment rates. This study aims to analyze influence of internship subjects, self-efficacy, and career guidance on the work readiness of students specializing in accounting at state vocational high schools (SMKN) in Bojonegoro Regency.

Data were collected using a survey method, employing questionnaires distributed to twelfth-grade students specializing in accounting at SMKN in Bojonegoro Regency. Research employed an ex post facto method with a quantitative approach. Data analysis utilized Partial Least Square (PLS) path analysis to measure individual and combined effects of independent variables – internship subjects, self-efficacy, and career guidance – on dependent variable of work readiness.

Results revealed that internship subjects (significance value 0.000 < 0.05, t-statistic 4.434 > 1.96) and career guidance (significance value 0.000 < 0.05, t-statistic 9.440 > 1.96) have a positive and significant influence on students’ work readiness. Conversely, self-efficacy (significance value 0.486 > 0.05, t-statistic 0.696 < 1.96) does not significantly affect students' work readiness. Additionally, combined influence of internship subjects, self-efficacy, and career guidance on work readiness was proven significant, as indicated by Fcalculated > Ftable (586.93 > 2.64).

Keywords: accounting expertise concentration, career guidance, internship subjects, self-efficacy, work readiness
