Pengaruh Motivasi Intrinsik Beragama terhadap Konsistensi Ibadah Siswa Kelas XI SMA di Negeri Tanjungkerta

Abstract

This research is motivated by the gap between the religious understanding students acquire at school and their daily worship practices, where the diligence of worship often relies on external supervision and tends to decline in the absence of control, thus raising a fundamental question regarding the extent to which inner drive namely intrinsic religious motivation can influence the consistency of their worship. This study aims to measure the level of intrinsic religious motivation, measure the level of worship consistency, and analyze the significant influence between the two among eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri Tanjungkerta. Using a quantitative approach with a causal-associative type of research, this study involved a sample of 27 students selected through simple random sampling from a total population of 274 students. Data were collected via a Likert scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, supported by observation and documentation, and then analyzed using percentage descriptive statistics, normality tests, simple linear regression, Pearson correlation, coefficient of determination, and t-tests. The results of the study indicate that the students' intrinsic religious motivation is in the good category with a percentage achievement of 81%, the students' worship consistency is also in the good category at 76%, and there is a significant positive influence with a unidirectional relationship pattern (r= 0.598), a moderate degree of closeness, and a contribution of 35.7%. These findings confirm that the higher the intrinsic religious motivation, the more consistent students' worship becomes, serving as an important foundation for schools and Islamic religious education teachers to strengthen internal guidance and spiritual awareness, as well as for students to enhance the solemnity and meaning of worship to realize sustainable religious character.
