This research aims to analyze the influence of work
ability and operational work time on cadet productivity and analyze the role of
the On the job training (OJT) variable in mediating the independent variable on
the dependent variable in the Airport Electrical Engineering Occupation at the
Matra Air Polytechnic. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to
respondents. This research uses a quantitative approach and analyzes using
Structural equation modeling (SEM), as well as using the Smartpls statistical
program. The research sample refers to the Isaac and Michael table using a
significance level of 10%. The research sample consisted of 115 cadets from
various Airport Electrical Engineering Occupations at the Civil Aviation
Polytechnic who had participated in the on the job training (OJT) program.
The results of the analysis show that work ability
has a significant positive influence on cadet productivity. This shows that the
higher a person's work ability, the higher his productivity. Apart from that,
operational work time also has a positive effect on productivity. This means
that the longer the cadets work, the higher their productivity level.
Furthermore, on the job training (OJT) was proven to be a significant mediator
in the relationship between work ability and operational work time on cadet productivity.
This shows that workplace training has an important role in increasing
productivity. When cadets receive training that improves their skills and
knowledge, they tend to become more productive in carrying out tasks. They can
note the importance of investing in training and development of cadets to
increase their capabilities and productivity.
Thus, this research provides an important
contribution for future researchers regarding the importance of on the job
training (OJT), because it describes the relationship between work ability,
operational work time, and cadet productivity. Research supports the importance
of integrating on the job training as a strategy to improve overall cadet
performance. In this research, it can be seen that the on the job training (OJT)
variable has decreased as a mediating variable. However, the dominance of the on
the job training (OJT) variable still makes the effect test results
significant.
