ABSTRACT

Vocational high schools aim to create graduates who are ready to work, but in reality, many graduates are not ready to work at this time. Low employability is the main problem. This study aims to design and test a theoretical model of the effect of entrepreneurial readiness, adversity quotient, and social intelligence on employability in vocational high school students. The population of this study was students of class XII vocational high school "X" in Moyudan, Sleman, which consisted of 209 students. The sample in this study was 68 students selected by cluster random sampling technique. The data collection method used employability scales, entrepreneurial readiness scales, adversity quotient scales, and social intelligence scales. Data were analyzed using the structural equation model (SEM) through the Smart Partial Least Square 3.3.9 program. The results of this study are the formation of a model of the influence of entrepreneurial readiness, adversity quotient, and social intelligence on employability that is appropriate (fit) with empirical data. The adversity quotient has a positive and very significant effect on employability, while entrepreneurship readiness and social intelligence have no impact on employability. This model can be used as a valid reference in developing employability variables.

Keywords: Adversity quotient, career identity, employability, entrepreneurial readiness, human social capital, personal adaptation, social intelligence.

Entrepreneurial readiness for young entrepreneurs, especially Muslim entrepreneurs, is a challenge in the current era. Intense competition and increasing competitors are the cause of the need for entrepreneurial readiness among young Muslim entrepreneurs to compete with experienced entrepreneurs. This study aims to design and test the suitability (goodness of fit) theoretical model of the influence of the need for achievement, family support, and interest in entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial readiness supported by empirical data in the field. This study uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 106 young Muslim entrepreneurs in Yogyakarta. This research uses a purposive sampling technique in the entrepreneurial group. Sample characteristics include samples belonging to the young entrepreneur community, aged between 18-30 years, business experience of less than three years, Muslim and 106 research samples were obtained. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squared (PLS) SmartPLS version 3.3.9. The results showed that the entrepreneurial readiness model proposed in the study was based on empirical data in the field. Partially, the need for achievement, family support, and interest in entrepreneurship have a positive and significant influence on entrepreneurial readiness. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that the model is acceptable to explain the influence of the need for achievement, family support, and entrepreneurial interest on entrepreneurial readiness, which provides an effective contribution of 58.7 percent.

Keywords: Entrepreneurial readiness, entrepreneurial interest, family support, need for achievement, young Muslim entrepreneur.
