The Influence of On the Job Training Experience and Motivation on the Job Readiness of Diploma Three Cadets at the Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi

Abstract

On-the-job training is a provision of knowledge and work experience through motivation that can create enthusiasm or encouragement towards mature work readiness in terms of knowledge, skills and information. The aim of this research is to see how cadets enrolled in the API Banyuwangi three-year diploma program are prepared, especially in relation to motivation and job training. By distributing questionnaires, the research used quantitative methodology with a sample of 26 cadets. Using SPSS 29 software, the collected data was tested for validity, reliability testing, multiple regression analysis, hypothesis testing, coefficient of determination analysis, and classical assumption testing. This study found that on-the-job training is influenced by motivation, both separately and in combination, having little influence on preparation for entering the world of work. In addition, statistical analysis shows that the f value and t value are less than or equal to the important f value and t value, respectively. Work readiness is influenced by motivation and on-the-job training by 8.7%, while other variables outside the model account for 91.3% of the variation. By offering a more relevant conceptual framework for each study program and creating more successful employee incentive tactics, this research aims to support academics in improving job training programs and producing more accurate and generalizable results. To obtain more reliable results, it is recommended that future research involve more people and collect a larger sample size.
