Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh career adaptability terhadap career anxiety pada mahasiswa Bimbingan dan Konseling Angkatan 2022 Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Negeri Medan T.A 2025/2026. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan metode asosiatif kausal dan desain regresi linear sederhana. Populasi dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 153 mahasiswa, dengan sampel sebanyak 111 mahasiswa yang ditentukan menggunakan rumus Slovin dan teknik simple random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner berupa skala Career Adaptability (33 item valid) dan skala Career Anxiety (27 item valid). Analisis data diolah menggunakan regresi linear sederhana dan diperkuat dengan uji konfirmasi korelasi Spearman’s rho. Hasil analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa berada pada kategori career adaptability sedang (55,0%) dan career anxiety sedang (66,7%). Hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan terdapat pengaruh negatif dan signifikan antara career adaptability terhadap career anxiety (t = -11,401; p = 0,000 < 0,05). Nilai koefisien regresi bernilai negatif sebesar -0,517 dengan persamaan regresi Y = 111,197 - 0,517X. Koefisien determinasi (R2) sebesar 0,544 mengindikasikan bahwa career adaptability memberikan kontribusi pengaruh sebesar 54,4% terhadap career anxiety, sedangkan 45,6% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar penelitian. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat career adaptability yang dimiliki mahasiswa, maka akan semakin rendah tingkat career anxiety yang dialami menjelang transisi menuju dunia kerja.

This study aims to determine the effect of career adaptability on career anxiety among Guidance and Counseling students Class of 2022, Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Medan, for the 2025/2026 academic year. A quantitative approach with a causal associative method and a simple linear regression design was employed. The population consisted of 153 students, from which a sample of 111 students was selected using the Slovin formula and simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires consisting of the Career Adaptability Scale (33 valid items) and the Career Anxiety Scale (27 valid items). Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression, complemented by a Spearman's rho correlation confirmation test. Descriptive analysis revealed that the majority of students fell into the moderate category for both career adaptability (55.0%) and career anxiety (66.7%). Hypothesis testing demonstrated a significant negative effect of career adaptability on career anxiety (t = -11.401; p = 0.000 < 0.05). The regression coefficient was -0.517, resulting in the regression equation Y = 111.197 - 0.517X. The coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.544 indicates that career adaptability contributes 54.4% to career anxiety, while the remaining 45.6% is influenced by other external factors. In conclusion, higher levels of career adaptability among students significantly reduce career anxiety during their school-to-work transition
