Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan general causality orientations (orientasi kausalitas umum) dengan motivasi mahasiswa dalam mengerjakan skripsi. Motivasi dalam mengerjakan skripsi diukur dengan skala regulasi diri yang diadaptasi dari self-regulation questionnaire for learning (SRQ-L) (William & Deci, 1996) yang meliputi subskala regulasi intrinsik (alfa = 0,902) dan subskala regulasi ekstrinsik (alfa = 0,802). Orientasi kausalitas umum diukur menggunakan skala orientasi kausalitas umum yang diadaptasi dari general causality orientations scale (GCOS) (Deci & Ryan, 1985) yang terdiri dari dua subskala, yaitu orientasi otonom (alfa = 0,948) dan orientasi kontrol (alfa = 0,823). Sebanyak 77 mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Hipotesis yang diajukan adalah 1) orientasi otonom berkorelasi positif dengan regulasi intrinsik, 2) orientasi kontrol berkorelasi positif dengan regulasi ekstrinsik. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa untuk hipotesis pertama, didapatkan nilai r sebesar 0,780 dengan nilai signifikasi p < 0,01. Sedangkan untuk hipotesis kedua, didapatkan nilai r sebesar 0,693 dengan nilai signifikansi p < 0,01. Selain itu, tidak terdapat perbedaan secara signifikan antara orientasi dan regulasi mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi di semester < atau = 8 dengan mahasiswa yang sedang mengerjakan skripsi di semester > 8.

The aim of this study was to examine the correlations of students general causality orientations toward motivation in writing undergraduate thesis. Writing undergraduate thesis motivation was measured by self-regulation scale adapted from Self-regulation Questionnaire for Learning (SRQ-L) (William & Deci, 1996) which consisted intrinsic regulation subscale (alpha were 0.802) and extrinsic regulation subscale (alpha were 0.802). General causality orientations was measured using the adapted of General Causality Orientations Scale (GCOS) (Deci & Ryan, 1985) which consisted of two subscales, namely autonomy orientation (alpha were 0.948) and controlled orientation (alpha were 0.823). A total of 77 students who were working on their undergraduate thesis participated in this study. The hypotheses were 1) autonomous orientation has a positive correlation on intrinsic regulation, 2) controlled orientation has a positive correlation on extrinsic regulation. The results of the analysis show that for the first hypothesis, the r value was 0.780 at significance level of p less than 0.01. As for the second hypothesis, an r value of 0.693 was obtained at the significance level of p less than 0.01. In addition, there was no significant difference between motivation of students who were working on their undergraduate thesis in semester less than or equal to 8 and students who were working on their undergraduate thesis in semester more than 8.
