Abstract


The low interest in entrepreneurship among university students is a serious problem, despite the widespread implementation of entrepreneurship education in universities. Internal factors such as risk-taking propensity and self-efficacy, as well as external factors such as family support, have not yet played an optimal role in increasing entrepreneurial intentions. This study aims to analyze the influence of risk-taking propensity, family support, self-efficacy, and entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial intention. The research method used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach through the distribution of questionnaires to final-year students and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results showed that self-efficacy had a significant effect on entrepreneurial intentions, while risk-taking tendencies, family support, and entrepreneurship education did not. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening internal factors and entrepreneurship curriculum to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of the young generation in Indonesia.

Keywords
