Abstract

Minat terhadap pendidikan teknik memiliki peran strategis dalam membangun sumber daya manusia yang berdaya saing tinggi di era industri 4.0 dan transformasi digital. Namun demikian, rendahnya komitmen karier di kalangan mahasiswa teknik di Indonesia masih menjadi tantangan serius, terutama ketika dihadapkan pada fenomena karier postmodern seperti job hopping, boundaryless career, dan zigzag career, yang kerap melemahkan dedikasi lulusan terhadap bidang teknik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran mediasi identitas keteknikan dalam hubungan antara efikasi diri akademik, motivasi intrinsik, dan minat STEM terhadap komitmen karier teknik pada mahasiswa teknik di Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan melalui survei terhadap 870 mahasiswa dari berbagai program studi teknik di perguruan tinggi di Indonesia, menggunakan instrumen kuesioner skala Likert dan dianalisis dengan pendekatan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) yang berorientasi pada pengembangan teori. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efikasi diri akademik, motivasi intrinsik, dan minat STEM memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap identitas keteknikan, yang selanjutnya secara signifikan berkontribusi pada komitmen karier teknik. Identitas keteknikan juga terbukti memediasi secara parsial hubungan antara ketiga variabel prediktor dan komitmen karier teknik. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa identitas keteknikan berfungsi sebagai mekanisme psikologis penting dalam menjembatani faktor internal dan orientasi karier mahasiswa teknik, sekaligus memperluas aplikasi Social Cognitive Career Theory dalam konteks pendidikan tinggi teknik di Indonesia. Implikasi praktis dari penelitian ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya penguatan program pengembangan identitas keteknikan melalui strategi kurikulum yang lebih kontekstual, berbasis motivasi intrinsik, dan berfokus pada value beyond competence, yakni pembentukan identitas, motivasi, dan dedikasi profesional selain penguasaan keterampilan teknis. Kata Kunci: identitas keteknikan, efikasi diri akademik, motivasi intrinsik, minat STEM, komitmen karier teknik, Social Cognitive Career Theory, karier postmodern, PLS-SEM. Interest in engineering education plays a strategic role in building highly competitive human resources in the era of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. Nevertheless, the low level of career commitment among engineering students in Indonesia remains a serious challenge, particularly in light of postmodern career phenomena such as job hopping, boundaryless career, and zigzag career, which often weaken graduates’ dedication to the engineering profession. This study aims to analyze the mediating role of engineering identity in the relationship between academic self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and STEM interest with career commitment to engineering among Indonesian engineering students. Data were collected through a survey of 870 students from various engineering programs at Indonesian universities, using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), a theory-building oriented approach. The findings indicate that academic self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and STEM interest exert positive and significant effects on engineering identity, which in turn significantly contributes to career commitment to engineering. Moreover, engineering identity is found to partially mediate the relationships between the three predictor variables and career commitment. These findings underscore that engineering identity serves as a crucial psychological mechanism that bridges internal factors with students’ career orientation, while simultaneously extending the application of Social Cognitive Career Theory in the context of engineering higher education in Indonesia. The practical implications highlight the need to strengthen engineering identity development programs through more contextualized curricula, intrinsically motivating strategies, and a focus on value beyond competence—the cultivation of identity, motivation, and professional dedication in addition to technical skills. Keywords: engineering identity, academic self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, STEM interest, career commitment to engineering, Social Cognitive Career Theory, postmodern career, PLS-SEM.
