Analisis Peran Moderasi Dukungan Sosial pada Pengaruh Growth Mindset terhadap Work Readiness Mahasiswa Tingkat Akhir

An Analysis of the Moderating Role of Social Support in the Relationship between Growth Mindset and Work Readiness among Final-Year University Students

Work readiness merupakan isu penting bagi mahasiswa tingkat akhir dalam menghadapi transisi menuju dunia kerja. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif cross-sectional dengan pengumpulan data melalui kuesioner daring yang mengukur growth mindset, dukungan sosial, dan work readiness mahasiswa tingkat akhir. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi moderasi serta analisis subkelompok berdasarkan intensitas kerja dan kesesuaian pengalaman magang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa growth mindset dan dukungan sosial berperan sebagai prediktor langsung work readiness, namun dukungan sosial tidak memoderasi hubungan antara growth mindset dan work readiness. Selain itu, pengaruh growth mindset terhadap work readiness lebih tampak pada mahasiswa dengan beban kerja rendah dan pengalaman magang yang sesuai dengan minat karier. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa work readiness dipengaruhi oleh interaksi antara faktor psikologis individu dan konteks pengalaman yang dijalani.

Work readiness is an important issue for final-year university students as they transition from academic life to the world of work. This study aimed to examine the role of growth mindset and social support in shaping students’ work readiness. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected through an online questionnaire administered to final-year students. The questionnaire measured growth mindset, perceived social support, and work readiness. Data were analyzed using moderated regression analysis, complemented by subgroup analyses based on work intensity and the relevance of internship experience to career interests. The findings indicate that growth mindset and social support have a direct influence on work readiness. However, social support does not moderate the relationship between growth mindset and work readiness. In addition, the influence of growth mindset on work readiness was more evident among students with lower work demands and internship experiences aligned with their career interests. These results suggest that work readiness is influenced by the interaction between individual psychological factors and experiential contexts.
