This study aims to examine the influence of student organizational involvement on public communication skills among Office Administration students. The research adopts a quantitative explanatory approach using a survey method, with questionnaires distributed to 49 respondents from various cohorts (2021–2024) at universities in Jakarta. The independent variable (X), organizational involvement, includes indicators such as participation in meetings, work programs, discussions, and leadership experience. The dependent variable (Y), public communication skills, is measured through indicators such as public speaking, presentation confidence, opinion delivery, and use of body language and intonation. Validity and reliability tests confirmed that the instrument is both valid and reliable. Simple linear regression analysis shows a significant influence of organizational involvement on public communication skills, with a t value of 7.379 > t table value of 1.679 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.537, indicating that 53.7% of the variation in public communication skills is explained by organizational involvement. These findings suggest that participation in student organizations plays a crucial role in enhancing students’ communication skills, which are essential for their professional readiness.
