Abstract

Motivation to learn is one of the factors that can play a role in determining
student employability. This study aimed to empirically test the role of
motivation to learn on student employability. The population in this study
were all grade twelve students in Vocational High School 1 Dlingo Bantul
Yogyakarta, which is as many as 110 students. The sample in this study was
54 grade twelve students of Vocational High School 1 Dlingo Bantul, which
consisted of two classes namely fashion and wood craft classes. The
selection of the research sample was made by randomization using the cluster
random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by using the
employability scale and motivation to learn scale. Data analysis was
conducted using Pearson product-moment analysis technique. The analysis
result shows that the magnitude of the correlation coefficient (r) between
motivation to learn and employability was 0.747, p = 0.000 (p < 0.01). This
finding indicates that there is a very significant positive correlation between
motivation to learn and student employability. Motivation to learn
contributes as large as 55.8 percent of employability. Thus, motivation to
learn does contribute to explaining the level of employability of Vocational
High School students.
