This research was conducted by the research approach of multivariate statistical methods dependencies of Structural Equation Model (SEM). This research was conducted by using quantitative data and positivism approaches. The data collection was used survey techniques in the form of questionnaires. The population of this research is the students of Master of Education Administration, University of Muhammadiyah PROF. DR. HAMKA, total of 1117 people, and 102 people as sample which consisted of 45 females and 57 males.
