FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERPENGARUH TERHADAP SELF DIRECTED LEARNING READINESS DAN PRESTASI AKADEMIKAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh karakteristik mahasiswa, faktor internal, dan faktor eksternal terhadap self directed learning readiness (SDLR) dan prestasi akademik mahasiswa serta menganalisis pengaruh SDLR terhadap prestasi akademik mahasiswa. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan desain survei terhadap 111 mahasiswa tahun ke-IV Program Studi Sarjana Kedokteran Universitas Tadulako dengan menggunakan instrumen berupa kuesioner untuk mengukur faktor internal, faktor eksternal, dan SDLR. Indeks prestasi kumulatif (IPK) mahasiswa digunakan untuk mengukur prestasi akademik. Data dianalisis secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan alat bantu analisis Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) dengan metode alternatif berbasis variance atau component based SEM yang disebut Partial Least Square (PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik mahasiswa dan faktor internal berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap SDLR dan prestasi akademik mahasiswa, sedangkan faktor eksternal tidak berpengaruh terhadap SDLR dan prestasi akademik mahasiswa. Faktor yang memberikan pengaruh yang lebih tinggi terhadap SDLR dan prestasi akademik mahasiswa adalah faktor internal. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa SDLR tidak berpengaruh terhadap pencapaian prestasi akademik mahasiswa. AbstractThis study was aimed at analyzing the influence factors of student characteristics, the internal factors, and external factors of self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) and student academic achievement as well as the influence factors of SDLR on student academic achievement. This study was conducted by using a survey design on 111 students of the fourth year of Tadulako University Medical Undergraduate Program by using questionnaires to measure internal factors, external factors, and SDLR. The students’ cumulative grade point (GPA) was used to indicate academic achievement. The data were analyzed quantitatively using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis tools with alternative variance or component based SEM method called Partial Least Square (PLS). The results show that the characteristics of the students and the internal factors significantly affect the SDLR and the students’ academic achievement, while the external factors have no effect on the SDLR and the students’ academic achievement. The factors that have a higher effect on SDLR and student achievement are internal factors. The results also show that SDLR does not affect the students’ academic achievement.

This study discussed employee turnover as one of the crucial problems faced by every organization. This study sought to analyze the determinants of turnover intention, such as job insecurity, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. The objects of this study were newcomer lecturers of private Islamic universities in East Java Province, Indonesia. To analyze the relationship among independent variables and dependent variable; this study employed a correlation path model. To build the structural formulation of the correlation path model, this study used the variance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as a Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The study found that job insecurity influenced job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Moreover, job satisfaction and organizational commitment had positive impacts on the turnover intention. In contrast, job insecurity did not have a direct significant impact on the turnover intention, but it had indirect effect that influences job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Owing to the lack of research in emerging Asian nations, this research aimed to unearth the determinants of blockchain acceptance for supply chain financing by a Bangladeshi financing company called IPDC. Centred on a technology acceptance framework called UTAUT (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology) and open innovation research, an expanded model with a mediating variable is developed for this study. This research work employs the deductive inference method in conjunction with the positivism paradigm. A structural questionnaire was used to gather data, which were then processed through Smart-PLS (partial least square) for SEM (structural equation modeling). The survey includes all the people who are directly or indirectly involved in the supply chain financing platform of IPDC. The study consists of seven direct hypotheses and one mediating hypothesis. The results show that all the direct hypotheses except the impact of social influence on the behavioural intention to use (BINTU) blockchain are significant. The mediating hypothesis indicating the role of BINTU in the relationship between facilitating conditions (FCON) and the actual use of blockchain is also supported. FCON and BINTU together explain 88.7% variation in blockchain use behaviour for supply chain financing. The research advances past findings by employing an expanded UTAUT framework and validating observations with the other relevant studies throughout the world.
