Kesiapan kerja merupakan kondisi psikologis yang mencerminkan kemampuan individu dalam menghadapi tuntutan dunia kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh motivasi terhadap kesiapan kerja pada dewasa awal di Surabaya. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional yang melibatkan 152 responden berusia 18–25 tahun melalui teknik convenience sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah skala motivasi berdasarkan Expectancy Theory (Vroom) dan skala kesiapan kerja berdasarkan konsep Work Readiness (Caballero & Walker) yang disusun oleh peneliti. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kesiapan kerja (p < 0,001). Semakin tinggi motivasi individu, semakin tinggi pula kesiapan kerjanya dalam menghadapi dunia kerja.
