Audry Puji Rahayu, Maharani Tyas Budi Hapsari

Abstract


Fresh graduates who have just completed their education are believed to have less mature career preparation. Good career adaptability is believed to support readiness to find work. Mature career readiness can help fresh graduates face job demands and career challenges in the world of work so as to bring happiness at work. This study aims to determine the relationship between career adaptability and happiness at work in fresh graduate employees. This research is a quantitative study using cluster sampling technique with a sample of 112 people. Data collection uses two scales, namely the career adaptability scale and the happiness at work scale. The analysis was carried out using the Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between career adaptability and happiness at work in fresh graduate employees (r = 0.688, p = 0.001) which means the research hypothesis is accepted. Additional analysis results show that the career concern aspect has a contribution of 26.18%, the career control aspect is 11.67%, the career curiosity aspect is 8.28%, and the career confidence aspect is 12.86%.
