Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Characteristics and Work Competencies on Practical Work Productivity for students in Construction and Housing Engineering Expertise at SMK Surabaya. The research model uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach to test the relationship between variables. The results show that Characteristics have a significant influence on Practical Work Productivity with a p-value = 0.033, which indicates a negative relationship between the two variables. On the other hand, Work Competencies do not have a significant influence on Practical Work Productivity, with a p-value = 0.217. The Characteristics construct has a Cronbach's Alpha = 0.809, while Work Competencies has a Cronbach's Alpha = 0.823, both indicating good reliability.
