Pengaruh Soft Skills dan Self-Efficacy terhadap Kesiapan Kerja Mahasiswa

This study aims to analyze the influence of soft skills and self-efficacy on the work readiness of students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed with multiple linear regression via SPSS version 25. The results show that both soft skills and self-efficacy have a positive and significant effect on students’ work readiness. These findings support Bandura’s (1997) self-efficacy theory, which highlights the role of self-belief in enhancing persistence and adaptability, as well as Becker’s (1993) human capital theory, which emphasizes the importance of non-technical skills in improving productivity and employment opportunities.
