Getting a job after graduation is like a dream comes true for every student after graduated. However, issues related to unemployment problems among graduates keeps increasing in the country. One of the main causes of unemployment that occurs among graduates is the rising project-based employment in the industry. Project-based employment is a system of employment in which the workers only work throughout the duration of the project or within a short-term period only. Project-based employment systems are widely implemented in industrial companies to save costs. To face this project-based employment system, students need to have strong skills and self-motivation. If they lack self-motivation, it will be difficult for them to tackle project-based employment. Therefore, the elements of self-motivation are the important fundamentals for students especially in the vocational institutions. Therefore, the elements of self-motivation need to be constantly refined and improved by the institutions to ensure that the graduates are equipped with strong self-motivation elements to work in the project-based employment in future
