The Effect of Work Ethics on the Professionalism of Students of the Department of Office Administration Education, University of Indonesia

Abstrak

This study looks into how work ethics influence how students in the Office Administration Education Department at the State University of Jakarta develop professionalism. We collected data from 100 students using questionnaires and analyzed the results with Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The findings show a clear, positive link between work ethics and professionalism (r = 0.728, p < 0.01), with work ethics explaining about 72.8% of the differences in professionalism. Although there were some challenges with the reliability of the tools used, the results emphasize how important ethical values like responsibility, discipline, honesty, integrity, and commitment are in shaping students' character. The study suggests that universities should put more emphasis on character education to help produce graduates who are not only skilled but also uphold high ethical standards.
