Hubungan efikasi diri dengan kesiapan kerja mahasiswa peserta magang dan studi independen bersertifikat

The advent of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has precipitated significant transformations in the global landscape of employment. In response to this shift, the government has introduced the Certified Internship \& Independent Study (MSIB) program with the objective of enhancing student preparedness for the workforce. It is of significant importance for students who will be participating in the internship program to develop both soft and mental skills in addition to their technical competencies. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between Self-efficacy and work readiness in students participating in the MSIB program. The research method employed is quantitative, utilizing a correlational approach. The sample consisted of 223 students participating in MSIB Batch 6 for the period between February 16 and June 30, 2024, who were selected through accidental sampling. The instruments utilized were the General Self-efficacy Scale and the Work Readiness Scale. The results demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and work readiness among MSIB Batch 6 students (r = 0.175; p $<$ 0.01). The higher the level of self-efficacy exhibited by students, the more prepared them are to navigate the professional world of work. These findings suggest that fostering self-efficacy through training or practical experience, such as that provided by the government in collaboration with industry partners and academic institutions through the MSIB program, can enhance students' overall work readiness.
