Kontribusi Growth Mindset Terhadap Adaptabilitas Karir Mahasiswa Akhir

Abstract

In the digital transformation era, adaptability becomes an important competency for final year students in facing the dynamics of the world of work. This study aims to examine the effect of a growth mindset on the career adaptability of final-year students. With a quantitative approach and non-experimental causality research design, 96 final-year students became the subjects of the study. The instruments used were the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) and a previously validated growth mindset questionnaire. Data analysis used simple linear regression and the determination coefficient test. The results of the simple linear regression analysis showed that growth mindset contributed 68.6% (R2=0.686) to career adaptability. This finding indicates that students with a growth mindset can better face career challenges, develop new skills, and take advantage of opportunities. This study strengthens the theory that a growth mindset encourages individuals to see challenges as learning opportunities. The implication of this study is the importance of educational institutions developing growth mindset-strengthening programs to improve students' career readiness.
