PIONEERING SUSTAINABLE CAREERS: STUDENT PARTICIPATION, UNIVERSITY IMAGE, AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT AT SANATA DHARMA UNIVERSITY
Last modified: 2023-12-06
Abstract
The objective of this research is to examine the correlation between student engagement, university prestige, and institutional assistance in relation to students' propensity to choose careers associated with sustainability at Sanata Dharma University. The research, conducted on a cohort of 210 students from several academic disciplines, employs the technique of multiple regression analysis for data examination. A questionnaire serves as the primary tool for gathering data. The research hypothesis consists of three statements. The data confirm the notion that the active involvement of students significantly influences their inclination to pursue careers in sustainability. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence to support the hypotheses pertaining to students' impressions of the university's reputation and the impact of institutional assistance. The findings of this study specifically demonstrate that the first hypothesis is supported, indicating that active student engagement has a considerable and favourable impact on students' inclination to pursue sustainability-related occupations. However, there is no statistically significant evidence to support the idea that students' perceptions of the university's reputation and the availability of institutional support affect their propensity towards sustainability-related jobs. Based on the aforementioned results, it is recommended that interventions targeting the improvement of student engagement be implemented.
