DOMINANT FACTORS AFFECTING THE SUSTAINABILITY PROFESSIONALISM OF FILM ACTORS THROUGH PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION

Abstract This study seeks to examine whether competence, education, regulatory implementation, and industrial relations are dominant factors influencing the realization of sustainable professionalism among actors/film actors through the role of professional organizations. The research employed an explanatory quantitative approach and hypothesis testing, and data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-AMOS) method. The sample consisted of 171 film/television actors in the Jakarta metropolitan area, selected through random sampling, including both those affiliated with and those not affiliated with professional organizations. The findings indicated that competence and education were dominant factors that directly influenced sustainable professionalism, as they had a positive and significant impact. However, they did show a significant impact when mediated by the role of professional organizations. Regulatory implementation and industrial relations had a positive and significant effect on the role of professional organizations, but did not directly influence sustainable professionalism. Furthermore, the study also found that the role of professional organizations did not significantly influence sustainable professionalism, indicating that their mediating role in supporting human resource development within the film industry is not yet optimal. As a managerial implication, this study suggests that professional organizations need to develop operational policies to measurably improve the competence and education of their members in order to enhance sustainable professionalism.
