Digital Leadership, Learning Agility, Self-Efficacy, Employability SkillsAbstract
This study examines the relationships among digital leadership, learning agility, self-efficacy, and employability skills among students at STIE APRIN. The study focuses on self-efficacy as a psychological factor that may strengthen students’ ability to respond to digital transformation and changing workplace demands. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey of STIE APRIN students. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measuring digital leadership, learning agility, self-efficacy, and employability skills. The data were analyzed using statistical procedures to examine the relationships among the variables and the role of self-efficacy. The findings are expected to provide empirical evidence regarding how leadership exposure and students’ learning adaptability contribute to employability skills, particularly through self-efficacy. The study contributes to the development of student competencies relevant to increasingly dynamic and technology-driven work environments.
