on work readiness 367
B. Discussion
1. First Hypothesis Testing
Sourced from research results and analyzed with the PC program showing that there
is an influence between work motivation on work readiness in class XII students of the
competency of the State Vocational High School (SMK) Light Vehicle Method competence
in Cilacap Regency for the 2019/2020 academic year is a positive influence. Based on the
results of simple regression analysis, it was found that the value of rcount was 0.672, which
was positive, meaning that work motivation had a positive relationship to work readiness.
Based on the results of the correlation coefficient which is positive, until the regression
coefficient of 0.702 shows a positive value so that it can be recognized that work motivation
has a positive effect on student work readiness. It is in accordance with the information (N =
95), if work motivation continues to be large so that you want to increase work readiness and
the opposite if work motivation continues to be low so that you want to continue to become
low work readiness, so it can be said that the bond between work motivation and work
readiness is unidirectional. .
Not only that, based on the interpretation table for Sugiyono (2010: 231) the level of
correlation (bonding) is in a strong type because it lies in the correlation interval between 0,
600 to 0.799. The coefficient of determination x1 to Y (r2x1y) is 0,452. This shows that the
work motivation variable has an influence on the work readiness of Class XII Students in the
competency of the State Vocational High School (SMK) Light Vehicle Method in Cilacap
Regency for the 2019/2020 Academic Year of 45, 2% on the contrary 54, 8% is determined
by other variables not studied.
The results of this research are in line with the theory put forward by Kardimin which
was reported by (NURJANAH, n.d.), if there are 2 aspects that affect job readiness, they are
internal and external aspects. Motivation in this matter is work motivation which is one of the
internal aspects that comes from within the student. Vocational High School (SMK) students
who are prepared to be ready-to-work graduates need work motivation. This matter is
supported by the comments of (Wiryani, Sunarya, & Santyadiputra, 2015) that a student who
wants to work, so that work motivation wants to ensure that students are ready to work.
The results of this research are also reinforced in the Theory of Planned Behavior with
an aspect of intention or in this research that is work motivation. Theory of Planned Behavior
explains that work motivation variables affect and want to shape students' attitudes to be
ready to work. (Wiryani et al., 2015) explained that there will be great motivation to
penetrate the world of work so that you want to increase work readiness and the opposite is
true.
This research is in line with the research tried by (Khoiroh & Prajanti, 2018) which
ensures that work motivation has a positive effect on job readiness. For Caballero and Walker
reported by (Rachmawati & Totalia, 2018) states that "Communication, motivation, initiative,
creativity and Interpersonal skills are the attributes that appear most frequently across the
studies for work readiness". Caballero and Walker say that communication, motivation,
initiative, creativity and interpersonal skills are highly emerging tools in research that can
share the impact of job readiness on students.
Based on this theoretical study, it continues to strengthen that work motivation has a
positive effect on work readiness of class XII students in the competency of the State
