This research is an Ex Post Facto using quantitative research methods. The reliability levels of the Y, X1, and X2 variable questionnaires are 0.846, 0.872, and 0.880, respectively. The effective contribution of X1 is 33.8%, X2 is 42.8% and the relative contribution of X1 is 44.1% and X2 is 55.9%. The conclusions of this study are: (1) X1, X2, and Y levels are in the high category; (2) there is a positive and partially significant relationship between X1 and Y, X2 and Y, and X1 and X2 simultaneously with Y.
