Abstract

Entrepreneurship has become one of the most important factors in the economic growth of Malaysia by contributing to the increase in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the nation. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention among the technology and engineering students. Therefore, Shapero’s Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM) and a few supports from literature review was used to uncover the factors affecting the entrepreneurial intention among the technology and engineering students. The factors affecting entrepreneurial intention among the technology and engineering students are perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, need for achievement and need for autonomy. Shapero's Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM) is the most suitable theory which can be applied by the researcher to measure the entrepreneurial intention levels among the technology and engineering students. Then, this study has analyzed the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention among the technology and engineering students using SPSS through Pearson Correlation Analysis, Linear Multiple Regression Analysis and Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis. The result has shown that perceived desirability, perceived feasibility and need for autonomy have a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention among the technology and engineering students. Moreover, the conclusion for this research provides a wider range of implication and recommendation in the context of entrepreneurial intention among the technology and engineering students.
