Abstract

In the current era of globalization, human resources are required to further highlight their strengths in each field of resources in order to be able to compete at an international level. In addition, the era of globalization also creates a high level of competition in the labor market indirectly. Indonesia is one of the countries that cannot be separated from problems related to human resources (HR) such as: the low quality of the workforce, the high unemployment rate and less extensive job opportunities due to the increasing number of people who do not have work skills in Indonesia and this is also the case. This will result in Indonesia becoming one of the main markets for foreign products as well as a job market for foreign workers. Active organization is one of the external factors in influencing student academic achievement, where organizing is a direct activity in the campus environment, the students who are active in organizations will have a high influence on student achievement. By actively organizing students are required to be able to manage their time as well as possible, both time for lectures and for organizing. Academic achievement of students who can manage their time well between lectures and active organizations will be better than students who cannot manage their time at all. This research is a quantitative research using associative descriptive approach. Primary data and secondary data are the types of data used in this study. Primary data is data obtained from students of the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Padang using a questionnaire. This study uses data analysis techniques, namely simple regression analysis and hypothesis testing to see how much influence exogenous variables have on endogenous variables. The conclusion from the results of this research is that students of the Faculty of Economics are active in organizing both at the Faculty level and at the University level able to improve academic achievement. For example, being actively organized can add insight, increase Soft Skill maturity, and have a lot of experience, especially in the field of organizations that are followed, and get various kinds of information both on campus and off campus. So that it can make it easier for students of the Faculty of Economics to adjust to the new environment because the organization is a place to train themselves to work together. The higher the academic achievement of the students of the Faculty of Economics, the higher the readiness of the students of the Faculty of Economics to enter the world of work.
