Adversity Quotient and Employability in Fresh Graduate

Abstract

: Employability is important because it can increase an individual's opportunity to get a job. One of the factors that can influence employability is fighting power or commonly called adversity quotient. This study aims to determine the correlation between adversity quotient and employability in fresh graduates. The method used is a quantitative method with a non-probability sampling technique. A total of 336 fresh graduates aged 20-25 years who do not have a job or have not worked for a period of two years after graduating. Data collection was carried out using the adversity quotient scale (α = 0.889) and employability development profile (α = 0.932). This study was analyzed by the Product-Moment Correlation technique. The results showed that there was a correlation between adversity quotient and employability in fresh graduates with correlation coefficient r = 0.556 (p = 0,000), so it can be concluded that the hypothesis in this study was accepted. The relationship is also positive, which means that the higher the adversity quotient, the higher the employability of fresh graduates.
