School Well-being in Terms of Self-Determination and Patience in Vocational High School Students

Abstract

This study is significant since it aims to uncover two elements influencing school well-being: self-determination and patience.   This study used quantitative methods with multiple linear regression analysis. The population in this study was students of classes X, XI, and XII at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Yogyakarta, amounting to 672 students. The sampling technique employed in this study was cluster-random sampling with a sample of 178 students. The results showed the F-value of 27.182 with an absolute significance level (p-value) of 0.01, so it can be stated that the major hypothesis was accepted. The self-determination and patience variables simultaneously (together) could affect school well-being. The effect of self-determination on school well-being was 20%, while patience only contributed 3.67%. This research concludes that (1) there was a positive influence of self-determination and patience on the well-being of vocational school students, (2) there was a positive effect of partial self-determination on school well-being, meaning that partial self-determination could predict school well-being, and (3) there was no partial positive effect of patience on school well-being, indicating that partial patience could not predict school well-being.
