And Behavior

Entrepreneurship among tertiary education graduates is not satisfactory because the current education system makes students tend to be job seekers rather than job creators. The interest in creating jobs from students through entrepreneur is faced with the perception of opportunities to get jobs according to their abilities. This study identify the effect of perceptions of job opportunities and the component of theory of planned behavior on student entrepreneurial interests and behavior. This study sampled 100 undergraduate students from Diponegoro University and used a variance-based structural equation analysis model (SEM-PLS) with Warp PLS 6.0 software. The results obtained from this study indicate that the perceived employability has a significant negative effect on the emergence of entrepreneurial behavior, but does not affect the entrepreneurial intention. Components of the theory of planned behavior, attitudes have a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial interest, subjective norms do not affect both entrepreneurial interest and behavior, while significant behavioral control positively influences both entrepreneurial intention and behavior. The results of this study are expected to be a reference in improving the existing education system at the university level in order to increase graduates choosing entrepreneurial careers. Wirausaha di kalangan lulusan pendidikan tinggi situasinya belum cukup memuaskan karena sistem pendidikan yang ada saat ini membuat mahasiswa cenderung menjadi pencari kerja bukan pencipta lapangan kerja. Minat menciptakan lapangan kerja melalui wirausaha oleh mahasiswa juga dihadapkan dengan persepsi peluang untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan sesuai dengan kemampuan mereka. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengidentifikasi pengaruh persepsi peluang kerja dan komponen theory of planned behavior terhadap minat maupun perilaku wirausaha mahasiswa. Penelitian ini mengambil sampel dari mahasiswa S1 Universitas Diponegoro sebanyak 100 orang dan menggunakan analisis model persamaan struktural berbasis varian (SEM-PLS) dengan software Warp PLS 6.0. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa persepsi peluang kerja berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap munculnya perilaku wirausaha, namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap minat wirausaha. Komponen theory of planned behavior yaitu sikap hanya signifikan berpengaruh positif terhadap minat wirausaha, norma subjektif tidak berpengaruh baik pada minat maupun perilaku wirausaha, sedangkan kontrol perilaku signifikan positif mempengaruhi baik minat maupun perilaku wirausaha. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan bisa menjadi acuan dalam memperbaiki sistem pendidikan yang ada di tingiat universitas agar menambah lulusannya memilih karir wirausaha.

Although India has made great strides in economic growth but despite that there exist huge inequality gap in society and people are still devoid of basic amenities. The benefits of growth post liberalization has been only limited to rich and middle class in India. Over 60% of the Indian population still lives on less than $2 (about Rs.130 at current rates) a day. The presence of inequality and myriads of social and economic problems requires the need for social entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurs can contribute in alleviation of social and economic issues by putting those less fortunate on the path towards a worthwhile life.Understanding the importance of social entrepreneurship in addressing social and economic issues, the current study aims at understanding how social entrepreneurship intentions are formed among Indian students. It further explore the relationship between intention and behavior. The conceptual model has been proposed to understand entrepreneurial intention formation. SEM is used to test the proposed hypotheses. All four hypotheses have been found positive and significant. Sustainability orientation is found to have the most significant impact of entrepreneurial intentions followed by self-efficacy and social capital.

The University

Considering entrepreneurship as a set of actions performed by a subject, and behavior one of the main predictors of actions, this work presents a study based on the Theory of Human Values, that aims to analyze the influence of personal values on entrepreneurial intention of university students; understanding as well the personal values as cognitive characteristics that explain the attitudes of a subject towards entrepreneurship, the hypotheses of this work establish a positive relation between values associated to individualism and the entrepreneurial intention as well as a negative relation between values associated to collectivism and the entrepreneurial intention of university students. For this, a sample of 488 undergraduate students from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico is used and statistical analysis is performed through the SPSS software. Using a quantitative methodology, an exploratory factorial analysis and a linear regression model are performed to calculate the predictive capacity of the different types of personal values on the entrepreneurial intention of students at the University previously mentioned. Personal values associated to individualism prove to be highly related to entrepreneurial intentions while those related to collectivism show low or null effect. Some exceptions are discussed and lead to future lines of research regarding different types of entrepreneurship.
