Abstract

This study aims to identify the level of attitudes, skills, environment and intention of entrepreneurship among public university students. This study also determines the relationship between attitude, skills and environment with intention of entrepreneurship among public university students. This quantitative study uses survey design through questionnaire. This study involved a total of 380 students using a simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26 to obtain descriptive and inferential analysis. The research instrument went through the content validity process and the results of the pilot test showed Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.74 to 0.92. The findings show the intention entrepreneurship among students at high level. Meanwhile, attitude, skills and environment are at moderte high level. Correlation analysis shows that there is a significant positive and strong relationship between attitude, skills and environment to the intention of entrepreneurship. Overall, public university students are found to have entrepreneurial intention, they should only be exposed to the appropriate skills, attitudes and a condusif environment so that they can build entrepreneurial intentions. The findings of this study further strengthen Ajzen's theory of planned behavior (1991) and provide guidance to the management of Public Universities to plan an intensive entrepreneurial action plan for students before they graduate.
