[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana kompetensi akademisyang diperoleh para lulusan muda MM UI selama mengikuti pendidikan(digambarkan dengan IPK dan kompetensi akademis general) dapatmempengaruhi kesuksesan karir dini (early career success). Dalam penelitian iniditelaah juga mengenai bagaimana seseorang dengan tipe dominant goalorientation tertentu (dominant mastery-approach atau dominant performanceapproach)akan mengerahkan kemampuan akademis yang dimiliki untukmencapai kesuksesan karir, yang digambarkan secara subjektif (kepuasan karir)dan objektif (gaji dan promosi). 239 orang alumnus muda MM UI ikut serta dalampenelitian ini. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi heterogen denganmenerapkan prosedur General Linear Model (GLM) Multivariate yang ada padaprogram SPSS 18. Dari hasil GLM Multivariate diketahui bahwa dengandominant mastery-approach orientation, seseorang bisa memaksimalkankompetensi akademis yang dimiliki untuk mencapai early career success(kepuasan karir dan gaji). Sementara dominant performance-approach hanyabermanfaat dalam pencapaian kesuksesan karir objektif yang diukur denganindikator promosi. Dari kedua jenis kompetensi, kompetensi akademis generallebih bermanfaat untuk mencapai semua indikator early career success.Sementara IPK hanya berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap kepuasan karir.;This study aims to determine the extent to which academic competencies acquiredby MM young graduates during the study (described by the GPA and generalacademic competence) can affect early career success. The study also examinedhow a person with a particular type of dominant goal orientation (dominantmastery-approach or dominant performance-approach) will exert academicabilities possessed to achieve career success, which was described subjectively(career satisfaction) and objectively (salaries and promotions ). 239 young alumniof MM UI participated in this study. The analysis technique used is aheterogeneous regression using the General Linear Model (GLM) Multivariateprocedure available in SPSS 18. The results of GLM Multivariate shown that withdominant mastery-approach orientation, one can maximize academic competencespossessed to achieve early career success (in terms of career satisfaction andsalary). While dominant performance-approach is only useful in achieving theobjective career success as measured by promotions. Of both types ofcompetences, general academic competence is more useful to reach all theindicators of early career success. While the GPA only significant positive effecton career satisfaction, This study aims to determine the extent to which academic competencies acquiredby MM young graduates during the study (described by the GPA and generalacademic competence) can affect early career success.
