This study aims to analyze: (1) The relationship between RLS and TPT, (2) The effect of CVS on TPT, (3) The role of economic growth (EG) as a moderator between RLS and TPT, and (4) The role of economic growth (EG) as moderation between CVS and TPT, in Sidoarjo, East Java using 2019-2023 data. Using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method, the findings in this study show that people's vocational skills are the main thing that affects TPT levels.
