INTRODUCTION
Higher education is the level of education after high school which consists of
several diploma, bachelor, master, doctoral, professional and specialist degrees offered
by higher education institutions based on Indonesian culture (Kotler et al., 2017). The
success of private university in creating quality graduates is determined by the
involvement of students, superior universities will certainly produce quality graduates.
Students who are aware of developing their potential are positioned by adults who
know themselves and can realize their potential in private institutions. So, they can
enter and create job opportunities (Kotler et al., 2017).
Every student in their final year of college will go through a process of
transition from college to work, to be able to go through this change they need to have
the capacity to adapt well and compete for jobs. When faced with the current level of
competition, surviving in the world of work is not an easy task, careful preparation is
needed in order to be prepared to enter the work environment. According Central
Bureau of Statistics Indonesia (2018), the workforce who graduated from vocational
high schools (SMK) had the highest open unemployment rate in February 2022,
reaching 10.38%. When viewed from the level of higher education completed by the
workforce, open unemployment rate in February has a pattern that is almost the same
as February 2021 of 11.45%. In February 2022, SMK graduates have the highest
graduation rate compared to other graduate levels. The work force for high school
graduates has the second highest unemployment rate, reaching 8.35%, followed by
those with a bachelor's degree reaching 6.17%, while the lowest unemployment rate
comes from the group of elementary school graduates, which is 3.09%, and junior high
school graduates, which is 61%.
The overall unemployment rate is still higher than the pre-pandemic level,
except for the workforce with a diploma I/II/III background reaching 6.09% which is
already lower than February 2020. The current high unemployment rate is not only
caused by fewer available jobs, but it can also be caused by private university that not
make preparation. Prospective employees who are qualified and ready to work will be
recruited by an organization. In this case, the government has created a new strategy
called Link and Match in order to create quality graduates or a talented and innovative
workforce towards the progress of science and technology and have high
Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Volume 26 No. 2 Oktober 2023, 349 - 372 351
competitiveness in the world of work (Nurbaya et al., 2022). Link and matchis a strong
and solid foundation for reforming vocational education (Supriadi, 2002).
“Link and Match” program which is increasingly being intensified by the
Ministry of Education and Culture can help the world of education more easily adapt
to the needs of the industrial world, but also help the industrial world by providing a
reliable workforce (Disas, 2018) meaning that the skills of the workforce can match
job-deskhis. said with the program link and match education too 4 get benefits starting
from the suitability of the program taught there will be no gap between higher
education graduates and workforce needs. The suitability of this program is also
determined by its ability to carry out developments such as making teaching materials
that can be adapted to the needs of organizational development (Disas, 2018).
Universities must be able to produce graduates who are competitive and ready to enter
the world of business and industry. Therefore, it is important to have hard skills and
soft skills. Hard skill includes the ability to master science, technology and technical
skills according to what is lived (Candra & Purnomo, 2019). Universities are required
to be able to produce new graduates who have competitiveness and are ready to take
part in the world of business and industry. Therefore, it is important to have hard skills
and soft skills (Candra & Purnomo, 2019; Goestjahjanti et al., 2020).
Hard skills that must be possessed by workers in accordance with their fields
to carry out work. Soft skills, on the other hand can be considered as a sociological
conclusion for Emotional Intelligence Quotitions (EQ) individual and can determine
the individual's capacity to collaborate, find answers to problems, and even inspire or
offer solutions with others in the workplace (Ratuela et al., 2022). Soft skills are
abilities related to human interaction such as the ability to resolve conflicts, understand
other people and the ability to bargain (negotiation) (O’Shea et al., 2022). Therefore,
graduates from higher education must be equipped with abilities that are integrated
into the process of learning activities.
Based on this, students and private institutions must establish a criterion called
"work readiness" before the student graduates. Employment readiness for post-school
students should include preparation for global competition. This is important because
the global job market is increasingly competitive and demands competent human
resources to enter and survive. Fitriyana et al. (2021) stated that it is related to the
characteristics of these elements that can increase productivity and the quality and
performance of an organization related to factors that affect work readiness. Students
must be responsible for their readiness, especially final year students who will continue
their education and recovery after graduation.
The most important thing in talent management is not just hiring and selection,
but developing and retaining talent to stay in the organization. In this case, the student
must not only be a capable talent, but also have an emotional bond. Talented
individuals are those who help higher education institutions adapt to culture by
352 Improving work readiness through talent management (Ramaditya, Effendi, Fitriani)
Knowledge Management
Knowledge management has been an interesting research topic in the last
decade (Quarchioni et al., 2022). Knowledge is a core competency and the primary
source of excellence and value creation for any business worldwide (Liu et al., 2019).
Knowledge management involves representing, knowledge, and organizational
information, creating and transferring expertise that results in competitive advantage
(Ramaditya et al., 2022). Knowledge management is a human feeling to carry out the
process of sharing knowledge, as well as learning and working together effectively
(Novianti, 2020).
Knowledge management is also important for job readiness. Knowledge
management is understood as a holistic strategy that helps students overcome the
problem of transitioning from lecture to work. A key strategy for creating and
improving creative businesses is knowledge management (Koohang et al., 2017).
Focusing on knowledge creation, sharing and transmission are key strategies for a
successful knowledge management process, especially in the education sector
(Ramjeawon & Rowley, 2017). Therefore, knowledge management helps build and
develop students' potential and equips them with the ability to be creative and
innovative. Thus, the hypotheses can be proposed as follows:
H5: Knowledge management has a significant impact on self efficacy in career
decision making.

Learning Organization
A learning organization can be interpreted as an organization that continues to
develop capabilities in a constantly changing environment (Salabi & Prasetyo, 2022).
Learning organizations have dimensions such as desire, discipline, decision making
and alignment presented as important elements of organizational learning
(Goestjahjanti et al., 2020). Amid a dynamic world that is continually changing,
learning organizations must continue to grow and develop despite the current financial
crunch (Rijal, 2016).
Learning organizations are also very important in job readiness. Various
assumptions are made about how students can adapt to changes from lectures to
workplaces and are highly competitive, with learning organizations supporting each
individual to equip himself to the best of his abilities. Organizational learning
positively influences student motivation, intellectual openness, awareness of positive
Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Volume 26 No. 2 Oktober 2023, 349 - 372 355
core self evaluation, knowledge and creativity (Clark, 2021). Therefore, learning
organizations provide knowledge and skills or talents to start a career (Ishak & Mansor,
2020). Further, Job readiness related to the the skills, abilities, attitudes and potential
of students in specific jobs of a variety of direct types that meet the demands of society
(Rothmann & Cooper, 2015). According to Rothmann & Cooper (2015), work
readiness is a state of a person who is ready or has the competence to do work with
satisfactory results. Job readiness can be defined as the ability with little or no help to
find and adapt the work required and desired by the individual (Baiti et al., 2017). The
linkage or relationship between one concept and another concept of the problem under
study is known as the conceptual framework of the investigation. The figure below
illustrates the conceptual framework between talent management, knowledge
management, career decision-making self-efficacy, learning organization and work
readiness. Thus, the hypotheses can be proposed as follows:

Conceptual Framework
METHOD
The research method used in this research is a causal research strategy with
quantitative methods. Causal research is research to look for a causal relationship or
influence of one or more independent variables with one or more dependent variables
356 Improving work readiness through talent management (Ramaditya, Effendi, Fitriani)
(Silmi, 2017). Quantitative methods are used to describe and test relationships between
variables, determine causality of variables, test theories, and look for generalizations
that have predictive value in predicting phenomena. Quantitative research uses
instruments that produce numerical data (Hardani et al., 2020).
Population and Sample
The population is the entire subject or object that will be the target of research
(Hardani et al., 2020). According to Sekaran & Bougie (2016), population is the entire
group of people, events or things that interest researchers to investigate. In a study, the
population is divided into two, namely general population and target population. The
general population is the entire object to be studied. The general population in this
study were all students of private universities. The target population is the population
that will later become the scope of the conclusions. The target population in this study
were high school students located in Region III LLDikti.
level or confidence level is 0.05 to reject a hypothesis. The probability of making the
right and wrong decisions in this study is 5% for the probability of making a wrong
decision and 95% for the probability of making the right decision. The following can
be used as part of decision making as follows:
p-value >0.05 → H0 is accepted or Ha is rejected
p-value <0.05 → H0 is rejected or Ha is accepted
Results and Discussions
Based on data obtained from PPDikti there are 99 private private schools. All
99 private private institutions can be grouped based on the accreditation of their private
institutions and a total of 5 private institutions are accredited Excellent “A”, 24 are
very good accredited “B” and 20 are accredited “C” and 50 are not yet accredited.
Accreditation is an external quality assurance system which is part of the quality
assurance system in higher education. The implementation of accreditation placement
is in accordance with Law number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education and is
mandated to the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) with
the main objectives being: 1) Determining the level of eligibility at private institutions
based on criteria in the national private standards. 2) Ensuring high quality external
education (both academic and non-academic) to protect the interests of students and
society.
Of the 99 private private schools in the LLDikti III area, approximately 57,827
active students were found in each private private school. As for this research, the
number of respondents who participated in filling out the questionnaire survey was
397 respondents, with each research sample coming from an “A” accredited high
school of 83 respondents. Colleges accredited “B” as many as 250 respondents. High
school accredited “C” as many as 64 respondents.
Characteristics of Respondents Based on Gender
From the data collection process that has been done as 397 respondents, it can
be seen from Table 3 which classifies the characteristics of respondents based on
gender.
Table 3
Characteristics of Respondents by Gender
Gender Respondents Percentage
Male 180 45.3%
Female 217 54.7%

Based on Table 4, it shows that most respondents were 22 years old (28.5%),
21 years old (26.3%), 23 years old (14.1%), 20 years old (8.4%), 24 years old (8.1%),
19 years old (6.6%), 25 years old (5.3%) and > 25 years old (3.2%). The dominance
of student age is 22 years old, which is seen in almost all private high schools in
LLDikti Region III Jakarta, the majority are filled with students aged 22 years old.
Convergent Validity
The value of the outer loading or loading factor is used to derive the results of
the convergent validity test. If the outer loading > 0.7, the indicator is considered to
have passed the requirements of this test. The following Table 5 are the results of the

Based on Table 7, the AVE value obtained from the talent management
variable (X1) > 0.5 with a value of 0.685. The knowledge management variable (X2)
produces an AVE value of 0.583 which means the value of this variable > 0.5. The
career decision-making self-efficacy variable (X3) has an AVE value of 0.587 or a
value of more than 0.5. Meanwhile, the learning organization variable (X4) and work
readiness (Y) obtained an AVE > 0.5 with each variable obtaining a value of 0.593
and 0.639. This shows that each variable is considered to have very good discriminant
validity.
Composite Reliability
Composite reliability test is the part that is used to test the reliability value of
variable indicators. A variable will be considered reliable or credible if it obtains a
Composite Reliability value of each variable > 0.7. Table 8 is the Composite

Work Readiness (Y) 0.811 Reliable
Source: Processed research data, 2023
Based on the Table 9, it is known that the talent management variable (X1)
yields a value of 0.770, the knowledge management variable (X2) obtains a value of
0.821, and the self-efficacy variable for career decision making (X3) obtains a value
of 0.824, and the learning organization variable (X4) and the variable work readiness
(Y) each obtained a value of 0.828 and 0.811. It can be concluded that each variable
in this study is reliable because it has a Cronbach’s alpha value > 0.7.
Path Coefficient Results
The path coefficient test in this study is used to see how much influence the
independent variables have on the dependent variable. In the path coefficient, it has a
range of values from -1 to 1. The range 0 to 1 is declared positive and the range -1 to
0 is declared negative. Based on the inner model scheme in Table 10, it can be
concluded that the greatest path coefficient value is found in the influence of talent
management (X1) on knowledge management (X2) with a value of 0.685. Followed
by the effect of knowledge management (X2) about Self-Efficacy in Career
Decisions (X3) with a value of 0.532. Followed by the influence of career decision-
making self-efficacy (X3) on work readiness (Y) with a value of 0.493. Then followed
by the effect of knowledge management (X2) on learning organizations (X4) with a
value of 0.478. Followed by the influence of talent management (X1) on learning
organizations (X4) with a value of 0.264. Followed by the influence of career decision-
making self-efficacy (X3) on learning organizations (X4) with a value of 0.179.
Followed by the influence of talent management (X1) on work readiness (Y) with a
value of 0.143. Followed by the effect of knowledge management (X2) on work
readiness (Y) with a value of 0.109. Then followed by the influence of talent
management (X1) about Self-Efficacy in Career Decisions (X3) with a value of 0.099.
Followed by the influence of learning organizations (X4) on work readiness (Y) with
a value of 0.056. Followed by the effect of knowledge management (X2) on work
readiness (Y) with a value of 0.109. Followed by the influence of talent management
(X1) about Self-Efficacy in Career Decisions (X3) with a value of 0.099. Then
followed by the influence of learning organizations (X4) on work readiness (Y) with
Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Volume 26 No. 2 Oktober 2023, 349 - 372 363
Based on the Table 11, it can be seen that the magnitude of the influence of
talent management (X1), knowledge management (X2), career decision-making self-
efficacy (X3), learning organizations (X4) on work readiness (Y) obtains a value of
0.664, which means the influence of work readiness variables (Y) is considered
moderate. Furthermore, the influence of talent management (X1), knowledge
management (X2), career decision-making self-efficacy (X3) on learning
organizations (X4) obtains a value of 0.646, which means that the influence of learning
organization variables is considered moderate. Then the effect of talent management
(X1), knowledge management (X2) on career decision-making self-efficacy (X3)
364 Improving work readiness through talent management (Ramaditya, Effendi, Fitriani)
obtained a value of 0.498, which means the influence of career decision-making self-
efficacy (X3) is considered moderate. Finally, knowledge management is considerate
moderate with value 0.554.
Predictive Relevance Test (Q2)
The goodness test in this study can be seen by looking at the Q2 value. Also,
the goodness-of-fit test uses one of the five types that are part of the goodness-of-fit
test, namely NFI. The NFI (Normed Fit Index) has a value ranging from 0 – 1 derived
from a comparison between the hypothesized model and a certain independent model.
The model has a high fit if the value is close to 1. The following table shows the results
of Q2 on the goodness-of-fit test.

DISCUSSION
Based on the results, talent management has a significant and positive influence
on knowledge management. In other words, the higher the talent management, the
higher the knowledge management and vice versa. Ramaditya et al. (2022) also
explained in his research that knowledge management has a significant direct positive
effect on the level of performance of private universities by continuing to develop
talent management and universities have a better position to prepare effective
knowledge management mechanisms.
The talent management has no influence on self-efficacy in making career
decisions in students. This is presumably because talent management when applied in
private institutions cannot predict which students will make career decisions, it is
possible that talent management in these private institutions has not gone well so that
students cannot make career decisions. The results of the third hypothesis is in line
with previous research conducted by Maronrong et al. (2022) that examine the
influence of talent management systems on learning organizations and employee
engagement at PT Hipernet Indodata Headquarters. The results of the study show that
an effective talent management organization will have superior human resources,
qualified and able to survive in a constantly changing environment. The results are
also supported by Tarigan et al. (2018) which state that talent management practices
have an influence on learning organizations. It can be concluded that talent
management has an effect on learning organizations which is in accordance with the
results of this study and strengthens relevant research. The talent management has a
positive and significant influence on work readiness in students. The higher the talent
management, the higher the job readiness of students. In line with opinion Ramaditya
366 Improving work readiness through talent management (Ramaditya, Effendi, Fitriani)
et al. (2022) who say talent management plays an important role in supporting the
development of generations. Talented individuals will have work readiness to be ready
to enter the world of work, because the higher the talent management, the higher the
job readiness of students.
Knowledge management has a significant influence on career decision-making
self-efficacy. The higher the knowledge management, the higher the self-efficacy in
making career decisions for students and vice versa. In line with opinion Santosa &
Himam (2014) that determine the effectiveness of sharing career planning knowledge
on self-efficacy in making career decisions, the results of the study show that career
planning using the knowledge-sharing method is proven to be effective in increasing
self-efficacy in making career decisions in job seekers. Career decision-making self-
efficacy has a positive and significant influence on learning organizations. Damayanti
& Widyowati (2018) state that confidence in making career decisions decision-making
is strongly influenced by the availability of information in determining college career
decisions plays an important role. With adequate facilities it will increase self-
confidence and foster motivation in college students to enter the world of work.
Knowledge management has no effect on work readiness. This is presumably
because the application of knowledge management in private private institutions tends
to be still not optimal and not strong enough to form work readiness in students,
knowledge management in private private institutions has not been optimally managed
as well as in companies so that students in private private institutions have different
knowledge. This is in line with previous research conducted by Rahmayanti & Renaldi
(2017) that test the individual readiness in the implementation of knowledge
management in government agencies. The results show that individual readiness is not
influenced by knowledge management infrastructure. The implementation of existing
knowledge management in government agencies is not optimal. So, it does not affect.
Career decision-making self-efficacy has a positive and significant influence
on work readiness. In other words, the higher the career decision-making self-efficacy
of students, the higher their job readiness and vice versa. This is in line with previous
research conducted by Baiti et al. (2017) that determine career self-efficacy on work
readiness in final year students at private universities in Yogyakarta. The research
results obtained show that career self-efficacy has a positive influence on work
readiness in students, where a student must feel confident that in preparing for the
world of work he is ready and able to face all the challenges and responsibilities that
will be given to him. If student confidence in making career decisions goes well, the
work readiness of students entering the world of work will also increase so that the
goal of higher education is achieved, namely creating graduates who are ready to work.
Moreover, the implementation of good knowledge management within an
organization will affect the formation of a learning organizational culture. This is in
line with previous research conducted by Muis & Isyanto (2022) that examine the
Jurnal Ekonomi dan Bisnis, Volume 26 No. 2 Oktober 2023, 349 - 372 367
The level of knowledge management of students tends to be low and not strong
enough to form work readiness in students. However, the implementation of career
decision-making self-efficacy at private institutions has a significant impact and has
the potential to affect how work readiness is formed. The higher the career decision-
making self-efficacy, the more work readiness will be developed. Learning
organizations have no effect on work readiness of private private students LLDikti
region III Jakarta. This is apparently due to the low level and weak capacity of student
learning organizations to create work readiness. Knowledge management has a
positive and significant influence on the learning organization of private university
students LLDikti region III Jakarta.
The inclusion of mediating or intervening variables is encouraged for further
investigation. This can be developed further apart from LLDikti Region III Jakarta and
can even be developed in international universities. Our research's focus is on students,
and since we used questionnaires to collect the data, it was possible for it to be
subjective in nature. Therefore, it would be better if data collection added methods
with observation and interviews as well as more specific grouping of respondents to
obtain more accurate results.
