Comparative Study of Motivation Aspect as Part of Productive Behavior on the Senior High School and Boarding School Students in Cirebon

Every action is driven by a specific motive. The motive is also a catalyst for the growth of productive behavior. Each student who attended various educational institutions eventually hopes to have a job as a handle for the future, whether as an employee or entrepreneur. But without a good work ethic, it is difficult for individuals to have a job and earn an income corresponding to the needs. It is therefore important for each student to have high motivation as part of the work ethic to be competitive in obtaining employment. Therefore this study seeks to examine the motivations of students who attended high school and boarding schools equal. The method used is descriptive study, with data collection techniques using questionnaires, which are distributed to high school and boarding school students in Cirebon taken purposively. As for the results show that there are some aspects of the indicators of motivation in where high school students are higher than boarding school students namely: can motivate themselves, persevering on a task to complete, have a willingness to work hard, like a challenge. Nevertheless, there is still a motivation that is not optimal among high school students. This is caused not only by the education system received but also due to the influence of environmental factors, both family, and friends where they hang out. Therefore it needs to be done in the system status, presumably learning so that students can have a high motivation in achieving a certain achievement.
