Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of hard skills and organizational experience on students' work readiness, with work motivation as an intervening variable. The objects in this study were active students from various state universities in Indonesia, with a sample size of 230 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. The method used was a quantitative approach with Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The results of the study showed that hard skills and organizational experience had a positive and significant effect on students' work readiness, both directly and through work motivation as a mediating variable. Work motivation was proven to mediate the relationship between hard skills and organizational experience on work readiness significantly. This finding implies the importance of mastering technical competencies and active involvement in campus organizations as a strategy to increase students' readiness to enter the workforce, while encouraging educational institutions to strengthen programs to develop students' work motivation and skills.
