Article Main Content

This study aims to analyze the impacts of (1) PKL (Field Work Practice) experience, (2) information mastery, (3) work motivation, (4) PKL, mastery of information, and motivation on students’ work readiness. This study employed the ex post facto design using the regression approach. The population consisted of 310 students of class XII of the Mechanical Engineering expertise program in Vocational High Schools in Yogyakarta, and the total number of participants was 170 students. The number of participants was determined using Issac & Michael’s formula. Then, using the purposive sampling technique, the sample was selected. Meanwhile, the data were collected through surveys, tests, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis to check the hypothesis. The results of this study show that: 1) PKL has a positive and significant effect on students’ work readiness (p = 0.015) with an effective contribution of 9%, (2) mastery of information has a positive and significant effect on students’ work readiness (p = 0.012) with an effective contribution of 5.1%, (3) work motivation has a positive and significant effect on students’ work readiness (p < 0.001) with a contribution effective 30%, and (4) PKL, information mastery, and work motivation simultaneously influence students’ work readiness (sig. 0.000) with an effective contribution 44.6%.
