Abstract

Sub Theme: Life Long Learning and Skills Development for Sustainable Entrepreneurial Development. Objectives: To identify what are the factors that can be used for strengthening the entrepreneurial intention in students. Theoretical Background/Previous Practice: This paper is partly based on my previous paper called the relationship of resilience and entrepreneurial intention which was done between students and employees. This research was done as a career in entrepreneurship offers significant opportunities for individuals to achieve financial independence and benefit of the economy by contributing to job creation, innovation and economic growth. However, in Indonesia there was only 0.18 percent from about 200 million people who are entrepreneurs which is far less than 2 percent of the people. As a result,there are many government programs undertaken in order to boost new entrepreneurs. In this regard, the identification of the profile of entrepreneurial intentions in students, will also add the information needed about factors needed to strengthen and/or develop this intention. Approach/Methods: This paper is written based on 5 research studies done at University students, which collaborated into one research umbrella under the topic of Entrepreneurial Intention. Results/Insights: The results show that in general the University Students can be categorized as having moderate entrepreneurial intentions. However, there are no significant correlation amongst locus of control, emotional & behaviour independent as well as adversity quotients with entrepreneurial intentions. On the other hand, there is a positive and significant correlation between entrepreneurial self efficacy and observational learning with entrepreneurial intention. From the study it can be concluded that, the characteristics of the person itself are not enough in developing the entrepreneurial intention. There should be a basic entrepreneurial self efficacy on them, and supported with the presence of role models. Implications: The future research is needed to study about the psychological characteristics as mentioned in relationship with the entrepreneurial intentions in a larger and in more diverse respondents. On the other hand, it appears that in relation to enhance the entrepreneurial intentions in students there should be more efforts in terms of training, workshops, role modelling in order to develop stronger entrepreneurial intentions in University students.
