Susilo

Abstract
In general, this study aims to analyze the effect of the sectoral attractiveness, individual characteristics, and suitability of job options on the productivity of workers in the agricultural sector and manufacturing industry in East Java, by using a structural equation model (Structural Equation Modeling/SEM) and by the application program AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures). The study shows that the sectoral attractiveness and individual characteristics significantly influence the productivity of workers in both agriculture and manufacturing industry. But as an intermediary variable, the suitability of job options variable has no significant effect on worker productivity. Thus, the effects of sectoral attractiveness and individual characteristics on the productivity of workers are direct, without going through the suitability of job options.
