Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to empirically examine the role of entrepreneur intention and responsibility on the
employability of students who attend State Vocational High School 1 Kalasan Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Methodology: The subjects in this study were students of class XII of State Vocational High School 1 Kalasan
Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which amounted to 225 students. The sampling technique was obtained by cluster random
sampling. Methods of collecting data used are employability scale, entrepreneurial intention scale, and responsibility
scale. The data analysis used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis techniques.
Main Findings: The results showed that there was 1) a very significant correlation between entrepreneur intention and
responsibility simultaneously on employability with R = 0.608, p = 0.000 (p<0.01). 2) a very significant correlation
between entrepreneurial intention and employability with r = 0.171, p = 0.005 (p<0.01). 3) a very significant correlation
between responsibility and employability with r = 0.603, p = 0.000 (p<0.01).
Applications of this study: This study shows that entrepreneur intention and responsibility has an important role in
preparing students to get the knowledge and skills needed to get a job, and then applied in the workplace when graduates
have worked. This results study also can throw light on strategies to be adopted to enhance employability in students of
Vocational High School. It can also be used as a reference to prepare an entrepreneur's intention and responsibility skill
training module to improve employability.
Novelty: To the best of our knowledge, psychology research about entrepreneur intention, responsibility, and
employability of State Vocational High School students is still rarely done both in Indonesia and abroad. This study
focuses on the employability of State Vocational High School students. Previous studies only discussed limited
employability for undergraduate and employee graduates, while in this study in vocational high school students.
