PENGARUH EFIKASI DIRI, NORMA SUBYEKTIF, DAN PENDIDIKAN KEWIRAUSAHAAN TERHADAP INTENSI BERWIRAUSAHA PADA MAHASISWA FISIP UNIVERSITAS 17 AGUSTUS 1945 SURABAYA


 
 
 Currently, Indonesia is still experiencing unemployment problems. One way to overcome unemployment and improve the Indonesian economy is to increase the entrepreneurial interest of the younger generation. Entrepreneurial knowledge really supports entrepreneurial values, especially for students, so it is hoped that they will foster an entrepreneurial spirit for entrepreneurship. It is hoped that student intentions and knowledge about entrepreneurship will be useful in fostering entrepreneurial activity within the student environment. Entrepreneurial intentions will make someone more active in looking for, exploiting and creating existing opportunities in order to achieve their desire to become an entrepreneur. The existence of a high desire (intention) to succeed in achieving something will form high self-efficacy in the individual. Self-efficacy can encourage a person's performance in various fields, including entrepreneurial intentions. Self-efficacy is a person's self-confidence in carrying out their duties which can encourage a person's performance. The FISIP faculty at the University of 17 August 1945 Surabaya has provided entrepreneurship education by including entrepreneurship courses in the college curriculum. The purpose of this research is to determine and analyze the influence of Self-Efficacy, Entrepreneurial Intentions, and Entrepreneurship Education, on Entrepreneurial Intentions in Social Sciences Students at the University of 17 August 1945 Surabaya. This research is quantitative research using survey methods. Data collection was carried out through observation, as well as distributing online questionnaires via Google Form to respondents, namely Business Administration students at the 17 August University of Surabaya. The results of this research show that Self-Efficacy, Entrepreneurial Intentions, and Entrepreneurship Education have a partial and simultaneous effect on Entrepreneurial Intentions.
 
 

Entrepreneurial intentions of tourism and hospitality students in Ghana: an application of the theory of planned behaviour

PurposeThe study aims to examine the entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) of tourism and hospitality (T&H) students in Ghana using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Specifically, the study examined the role of university support on students’ EIs and behaviour within the framework of TPB.Design/methodology/approachAn online questionnaire was used to collect data from 929 T&H students from six universities in Ghana. Structural equation modelling using AMOS was used to test the stated hypotheses.FindingsThe results showed that perceived university support (PUS) played a key role in influencing students’ attitudes, subjective norms and behavioural controls towards their EIs. Furthermore, the EI of T&H students was also found to have influenced students’ entrepreneurial behaviours (EBs). All seven hypotheses were significant.Research limitations/implicationsTo increase the entrepreneurial drive of T&H students, universities and T&H educators need to provide support through strengthening experiential learning activities (guest speaker series, mentorship sessions, practicals and internships) to provide an avenue for students to be trained on risk management and failure recovery skills, develop positive attitudes and behaviours and learn from experts. Policymakers should also enact favourable laws to regulate business practices.Originality/valueThis is likely the first paper to address the issue of PUS for entrepreneurship amongst T&H students in the context of a developing country. Specifically, it addresses the role of universities and T&H educators in supporting T&H students to be entrepreneurs.

THE EFFECT OF ISLAMIC WORK ETHICS ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Purpose: Having identified a gap in the literature, this study aimed to determine the role of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) in creating high Academic Performance (APE) and Entrepreneurial Intention (ENI) among Indonesian undergraduate students.
 
 Theoretical framework: The motivation for entrepreneurship is a popular topic investigated in many studies. Previous studies showed that entrepreneurial activities are strongly connected to individuals' values. In this situation, Muslims should be inspired to become entrepreneurs because the Qur’an and Hadith discuss entrepreneurship. However, Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) has received less attention from scholars about its role in developing the Entrepreneurial Intention (ENI) of students as potential entrepreneurs.
 
 Design/ methodology/approach: This is a qualitative study that used structural equation modelling (SEM) to process data from 150 samples of Indonesian undergraduate students
 Findings: This study discovered that IWE played a significant role in driving all TPB factors, including ATB, SUN, and PCB, to promote ENI. which means IWE would encourage Muslims to embrace entrepreneurship as a means of sustaining Islamic teaching.
 
 Research, Practical & Social Implications: This study may serve as the foundation for Indonesian educational institutions to incorporate IWE into their curriculum. It is because the religious values as inherent in IWE will foster a positive attitude and spirit of achievement.

The Prospect of Business Undergraduates’ Intention to Engage in Digital Entrepreneurship: Do the Government Initiative Matters?

The synergies between rapid information technology (IT) development and the shifting paradigms of economic transactions have led to the emergence of digital entrepreneurship. This study aims to investigate potential precursors affecting the intention of final-year business students to engage in digital entrepreneurship. This research was examining the IT acceptance among the business students by employing two tailored technology acceptance models (TAM) based on theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and theory of reasoned action (TRA) models. A sample of 302 respondents were analysed using SPSS and Smart-PLS. The results revealed that fresh graduates’ intentions to engage in digital entrepreneurship were significantly influenced by their own attitudes towards IT. The study also reaffirmed that the dimensions of Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour model, among others, attitude towards information technology (IT), perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norms except perceived risk have a “direct effect” on undergraduates’ interest in an Internet-based business model. Although the results have contributed to the paucity of the empirical research in digital entrepreneurship particularly in the Asian region, the availability of information technology, government resources and support to affect the digital usage and behaviour are not to be underestimated.

Social exclusion and suicide intention in Chinese college students: a moderated mediation model.

Given the growing incidence rates of suicide among college students and the potential lifelong consequences of suicide, it is imperative to better understand the factors that reduce the rates at which college students in a clinical sample engage in suicide. This study examines the relationship between social exclusion and suicide intention, the mediating effect of depression, and the moderating effect of meaning in life. Two hundred and ninety-nine Chinese college students, aged from 18 to 22 years (56.86% female, M age = 20.14, SD = 1.27) completed questionnaires assessing their social exclusion, suicide intention, depression, and meaning in life. The result revealed that social exclusion was positively associated with suicide intention, and depression mediated this relationship. In addition, this mediating effect of depression was moderated by meaning in life. That is, the mediation effect was stronger for students with a higher level of meaning in life. These findings provide educational suggestions for preventing and intervening in suicide intention among college students.

Green Price and Purchase Intention of University Students in Plateau State, Nigeria

In today's volatile marketplace, there is a disconnect between the awareness of environmental issues and actual consumer behavior, particularly among young people like university students. Despite growing concerns about the environment, many continue to engage in unsustainable consumption practices. This is especially pronounced in Plateau State, Nigeria, where environmental challenges are significant. This study aims to understand why there's such a mismatch between green price and how students actually make purchasing decisions. It emphasizes the urgency of addressing this issue to promote more sustainable consumption habits among young people. Ultimately, the research seeks to investigate the effect of green price on purchase intention of university students in Plateau State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population size was 25,000 students from the two approved universities by NUC in Plateau State, Nigeria. The study utilized the Krejcie and Morgan table to determine the sample size of 417 students as respondents. Data was collected through a structured and validated questionnaire. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients of constructs ranged from 0.791 to 0.981 The response rate was 93.33%. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that green price has a significant effect on purchase intention (R = 0.413, R2 = 0.168; t =8.949, β =0.450>0.05). The study concluded that green price has a significant effect on purchase intention of university students in Plateau State, Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that businesses should consider implementing competitive pricing strategies for their eco-friendly products. Offering discounts, promotions, or incentives for purchasing green products are encouraged. This could help stimulate purchase intentions and drive sales.

Unpacking Qalb Behavioral Traits through the Lens of Maqasid al-Shariah: A Pathway to Foster Inclusive Entrepreneurial Intentions in the Muslim Community

In Malaysia, a worrisome trend is emerging as an increasing number of individuals find themselves trapped within the poverty bracket and the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) socioeconomic groups. To address the economic and social challenges faced by these marginalized communities and to contribute significantly to poverty reduction and overall well-being, inclusive entrepreneurship has emerged as a pivotal strategy. This study delves into the critical imperative of inclusive entrepreneurship, which often eludes existing quantitative measurements of societal well-being. These measurements frequently overlook the fundamental dimensions of social and psychological well-being inherent to inclusive entrepreneurship. Drawing from the Islamic framework of Maqasid al-Shariah, which elucidates the objectives of Islamic law, we introduce a unique concept—Qalb-based Entrepreneurial Traits. These traits are rooted in moral values and ethics, forming a bridge between Islamic principles and entrepreneurial intentions. Using a quantitative approach, we explore the determinacy of these Qalb-based entrepreneurial traits in conjunction with three key antecedents derived from the theory of planned behavior. Our study specifically focuses on assessing the entrepreneurial intentions of Muslim students enrolled in Malaysian institutions of higher learning (IHLs). Our survey encompassed 287 respondents, and we conducted a rigorous multiple regression analysis using PLS-SEM to scrutinize the relationships between these variables. Our findings leave no room for doubt—Qalb-based behavioral traits exert a significant influence on inclusive entrepreneurial intentions (IEI) among Muslim youth in Malaysia. Furthermore, we uncover that gender plays a moderating role in the relationships between Darurriyyat and Tahsiniyyat Qalb behavioral traits and inclusive entrepreneurial intentions, shedding light on the nuanced dynamics of these determinants. In essence, this study offers valuable insights into the pivotal role of Islamic ethical principles in shaping inclusive entrepreneurship. Beyond theoretical contributions, it provides practical implications for policymakers and stakeholders dedicated to addressing the pressing challenges of poverty and social well-being within the Muslim community in Malaysia.

Theory of Planned Behavior: The Effect of Financial Literacy and Risk Tolerance on Investment Intention

Research Aims: This research aims to analyze how factors such as attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, financial literacy, and risk tolerance influence the investment intentions of university students. By focusing on these variables, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the determinants of investment behaviors among this demographic.
 Design/methodology/approach: Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior as a guiding framework, the study employed a quantitative research approach. A survey, comprising structured questionnaires, was administered to a sample of students currently enrolled at the University of Lampung. The responses were then analyzed using multiple linear regression to identify significant predictors of investment intentions.
 Research Findings: The analysis revealed that attitude and perceived behavioral control are significant predictors of investment intention among University of Lampung students. Contrary to expectations, subjective norms, financial literacy, and individual risk tolerance did not show a significant direct influence on the investment intentions of the participants.
 Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the body of knowledge in financial behavior theory by contextualizing the Theory of Planned Behavior in the realm of student investment intentions. It offers original insights into the relative importance of various psychological and educational factors in shaping investment behavior among university students, a demographic that is often underrepresented in financial behavior research.

Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention of the Senior High School Students

Entrepreneurial intention is the foundation for any decision to start a business or endeavor, making it a more significant predictor of future entrepreneurial participation. Since it is the most critical predictor of entrepreneurial behavior and a crucial component in comprehending the process of launching new business ventures, this study aimed to identify the factors that influence the entrepreneurial intentions of the Senior High School Students of St. Paul University Surigao. This study applied the quantitative research design employing a descriptive survey technique with 275 respondents. The main instrument employed in gathering necessary data was the researcher-made questionnaire. The collected data were treated using sample percentage, mean and standard deviation, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed a significant difference in the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of the senior high school students when grouped according to their family business and strand. The research results could serve as background knowledge and a framework for future researchers doing deeper investigations similar to this study.

The Effect of Science & Technology Park, Market Segregation and Commercialization Support on Female Entrepreneurship in Pakistan

Female students have few opportunities and training to develop their entrepreneurial careers in developing economies. The existing literature also provides little discussion of linking women’s entrepreneurial intention with their entrepreneurial careers. The researchers addressed the gaps in the literature by empirically confirming the impact of science and technology parks, market segregation, and commercialization support on female students’ entrepreneurship in Pakistan. The study also tested the moderating role of the economic climate on the relationship between science and technology parks, market segregation, commercialization support, and female students’ entrepreneurship. We used a survey-based data collection approach, and a Likert scale questionnaire was administered. The study used data collected from 247 female students registered in business incubators. The research findings are new in the literature and confirm the science & technology park, market segregation and commercialization support are significant antecedents that influence the entrepreneurial intention of female students in Pakistan. The impact of female students’ entrepreneurial intention is positive on their entrepreneurship careers. Meanwhile, the economic climate is established as a negative moderator between female students’ entrepreneurial intention and their entrepreneurial careers in Pakistan. We recommend that policymakers develop the science & technology park, market segregation and commercialization support for female students to grow their entrepreneurial careers.

The Nexus of Covid-19 and Behavioral Intentions of University Students Towards Online Education

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the traditional pedagogical educational system worldwide. The story of Pakistan is also not different from that of the rest of the world. Pakistan’s higher education institutes were closed for classes due to the outbreak. Some universities started the virtual education system, and it is critically important to assess the behavioral intentions of university students toward online education during the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. This is the first study investigating students' responses to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted to obtain the students' responses from the higher institutions providing online classes during COVID-19. The results were evaluated using multivariate analysis and descriptive statistics. It was observed that there is a significant difference between male and female students concerning the positive consequences of COVID-19 on students. According to the findings, the students' intentions for online education are more concerned with saving time to complete the degree program. Higher education institutions should also provide online educational opportunities to students besides traditional physical modes. Online educational interventions will be helpful for students during unavoidable circumstances like political instabilities, natural disasters, viral disease outbreaks, etc. to complete degrees and diplomas.

Application of Interactive Teaching Method in Digital Media Technology Teaching in Chengdu, China

Background and Aim: This study explored the influences on the intention of undergraduate students majoring in digital media technology to participate in interactive teaching methods in three of the most representative universities in Sichuan Province. The objective of the research is to determine the extent to which each variable influences the use of interactive teaching methods. The latent variables investigated in the study include social influence (SI), trust (TR), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitude (AT), behavioral intention (BI), and usage behavior (UB) of interactive teaching methods. The population of the research is freshmen to Juniors of digital media technology departments from three target universities, namely Chengdu University, Chengdu Institute of Technology, and Sichuan Institute of Industry and Commerce. The 504 samples were proportionally drawn from the mentioned three universities. Materials and Methods: In this paper, a total of 504 data were collected through questionnaires, and data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model. Results: The results of the data analysis found that the effects of perceived usefulness and trust on attitude were not significant, and all other hypotheses were verified. Among them, perceived ease of use had the greatest effect on attitude. Conclusion: For undergraduate digital media technology students to recognize and use interactive teaching methods, university administrators and teaching staff need to simplify the interactive teaching process and pay attention to the factors that have a significant effect on behavioral intentions.

Student intentions to continue with distance learning post-COVID: An empirical analysis.

The aftermath of COVID changed how students learn, mainly moving to a distance learning model. The research reported in this paper investigated the organizational and individual factors that influence the preference for continuing with distance / online learning post-COVID. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was applied to a model developed for this research, based on data from 452 students from residential universities in South Africa. The key results reveal an overall reluctance to continue with distance learning. This is despite the technological and faculty support offered to university students and how distance learning fits their learning styles. This is likely due to student living conditions and their perception of low institutional concern. On the other hand, faculty support has a more substantial impact on continuance, compared with a generally negative perception of support from the universities. The research underscores the importance of addressing student reluctance to continue with distance learning by improving institutional support and tailoring learning styles. The research enhances our understanding of crucial factors influencing students' preference for distance/online learning post-COVID. It also underscores the pedagogical shifts brought about by the pandemic, particularly highlighting the changing roles of faculty support and the impact on students' living conditions.

Entrepreneurial Attitude and Entrepreneurial Intentions of Female Engineering Students: Mediating Roles of Passion and Creativity

Entrepreneurship holds a crucial function in addressing societal and economic issues like joblessness and inequalities between different regions. Acknowledging its significance, government officials and educational institutions exert considerable energy towards nurturing individuals into entrepreneurs. Multiple elements influence a person's path to becoming an entrepreneur. This research seeks to examine how one's entrepreneurial attitude (EA) impacts one's drive to become an entrepreneur, with passion and creativity serving as an intermediary in this connection. The research is explanatory and employs a survey-based approach. The findings convey that entrepreneurial attitude significantly influences the determination of female engineering students to pursue entrepreneurship. The study highlights the mediating roles of passion and creativity in the relationship between entrepreneurial attitude and intentions. While passion positively mediated the relationship, creativity had a negative mediating effect.

The role of institutional contexts for social inequalities in study abroad intent and participation

We contribute to research on social inequalities in educational attainment by examining the role of institutional contexts for students’ study abroad (SA) intent and participation. To do so, we extend the individual-level rational choice model predicting SA intent and participation depending on students’ socioeconomic status (SES) into a multi-level model emphasizing the importance of context effects. We test our model based on unique micro-level student data, which we supplement with context data. Examining 18,510 students nested in 69 universities, we provide the first in-depth multi-level analyses of SA intent and participation of students from Japan. In line with findings from many Western countries, our results show that higher-SES students are more likely to (intend to) study abroad. Regarding the role of institutional contexts, we find that programs designed to improve SA opportunity structures hardly affect students’ SA intent but significantly positively affect SA participation above and beyond other university-level and student-level characteristics. Importantly, both lower- and higher-SES students benefit from favorable SA opportunity structures. These findings suggest that Japan’s recent push toward internationalization of higher education has created relevant SA opportunities for students from different social backgrounds. Still, higher-SES students are currently overrepresented among those studying abroad because they are more likely to select into universities offering favorable SA opportunity structures. Our analysis calls for more research combining individual-level with contextual-level theories and data to better understand the conditions shaping SES-specific SA intent and participation.

Factors that influence the intent to pursue a master's degree: evidence from Shandong Province, China.

In recent years, the pursuit of a master's degree has become a social phenomenon of wide concern. It is essential to understand why large number of students choose to pursue master's degree. This study aims to empirically analyze the factors that influence the intent to pursue a master's degree. Based on the extended theory of planned behavior, this study conducts a questionnaire survey of university students in Shandong Province, which has had the highest number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination in China for several years. A total of 440 questionnaires were finally collected, including 417 valid questionnaires. And then ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was used to analyze the factors that influence the intent to pursue a master's degree. In general, the intent to pursue a master's degree is positively influenced by attitude (β = 0.161, p < 0.01) and subjective norms (β = 0.208, p < 0.01), and negatively influenced by risk perception (β = -0.084, p < 0.05). Compared with male students, female students' intent is more likely to be influenced by risk perception (β = -0.144, p < 0.05) and social factors (β = 0.140, p < 0.05). The intent of upperclass students tends to be positively influenced by perceived behavioral control (β = 0.125, p < 0.05), whereas the negative impact of risk perception (β = -0.219, p < 0.05) on the intent is significant for underclass students. The intent of students in rural areas are more sensitive to risk perception (β = -0.194, p < 0.01) than those of students in cities. In private universities, social factors (β = 0.445, p < 0.05) significantly affect the intent to pursue a master's degree. In ordinary public universities, the intent of students is more likely to be influenced by risk perception (β = -0.082, p < 0.05). The study is helpful to strengthen the understanding of the influencing factors of the intent to pursue a master's degree. In general, the intent to pursue a master's degree is mainly influenced by attitude, subjective norms and risk perception. Moreover, the influencing factors vary among different groups (e.g., female vs. male, rural areas vs. cities). Furthermore, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, risk perception, and social factors have greater impacts on the intent of students from low-income households than those from high-income households. This study can provide policy implications for universities to take targeted educational measures to encourage students to make a choice that suits their own development after graduation.

Research of Competitive Pressure on Undergraduates' Intention to Study Abroad in Chinese Non-elite Universities

With the development of the Chinese economy, it is difficult to find an ideal job after graduating from undergraduate studies, and more and more students are choosing to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Due to the limited academic resources of non-elite universities, many students encounter relatively more difficulties during the postgraduate entrance examination process. China is the world's largest exporter of international students, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese students choose to study abroad every year. At the same time, there are also fierce marketing challenges for study abroad agents and overseas universities serving Chinese students. In the context of the increasing competitive pressure of Chinese college students, this study conducted an empirical study on the intention of students from non-well-known universities in China. A total of 345 questionnaires were collected in 17 non-elite universities in 4 Chinese provinces, and the results showed that social influence, innovativeness, perceived risk and competitive pressure have significant effects on studying abroad intention. Innovativeness positively moderates the relationship between competitive pressure and students’ studying abroad intention. The results of the study not only provide practical advice for university students to study abroad, but also detailed marketing recommendations for study abroad agents and overseas universities.
