SELF-DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYEES WHO ARE STUDYING AT PAMULANG UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Self-development is essential in helping students build discipline, confidence, and career readiness while managing both study and work commitments. This study examines the influence of four factors motivation to attend lectures, time management between study and work, transfer of learning, and support from the work environment and family—on the self-development of working students at Pamulang University. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing a survey method. Data were collected from 100 working students across various study programs. The research instrument consisted of structured questionnaires developed from specific indicator variables (X₁–X₄ and Y). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27 and included validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and linearity tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that all independent variables have a positive and significant effect on self- development, both individually and collectively. Motivation to attend lectures, effective time management, learning transfer, and supportive environments from work and family were shown to enhance students’ personal growth and professional readiness. The F-test (F = 33.199; Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05) confirms the overall significance of the model, while the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.583) suggests that 58.3% of the variation in self-development is explained by these four factors. In conclusion, fostering self-development among working students requires not only personal motivation and time management skills but also the effective application of learned knowledge and strong support from both family and workplace environments. These elements collectively contribute to the holistic growth and career preparedness of students managing simultaneous academic and professional responsibilities.
