Abstract

This study aimed to empirically examine the role of self-concept and perception of the learning environment on the employability of students who attend Muhammadiyah Vocational High School Prambanan Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methodology: The subjects of this study were 132 Grade XII students of Muhammadiyah Vocational High School Prambanan Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The sampling in this study was randomized using cluster random sampling technique. Data was collected using the self-concept scale, perception of learning environment scale, and employability scale. Data analysis was done using multiple linear regression. Main Findings: The results showed that there was 1) a very significant positive correlation between self-concept and perception of learning environment simultaneously on employability with p = 0.000, (p < 0.01), 2) a very significant positive correlation between self-concept and employability with p = 0.000, (p < 0.01), 3) a very significant positive correlation between perception of learning environment and employability with p = 0.000, (p < 0.01). Applications of this study: This study shows that self-concept and learning environment play an important role in preparing students to gain knowledge, skills, understanding, and personality in the Muhammadiyah Vocational High School environment, and then applied in the workplace after graduation. Parents and teachers must be able to create a positive learning environment to ensure a conducive and productive learning environment. The results of this study can also be used as a reference to prepare an employability skill training module in the field of psychology. Novelty/Originality: To the best of our knowledge, research on the self-concept, perception of learning and employability of Muhammadiyah Vocational High School students is still rarely done both in Indonesia and abroad. This study focuses on the employability of Muhammadiyah Vocational High School students. Previous studies only discussed which is still limited to employability on graduates and employees.
