Abstract

The present study aims to examine the perspective of student entrepreneurs’ tendency towards start-up business and entrepreneurial inclination. It specifically seeks to investigate the connection between students with the university's role and influencing inclination towards entrepreneurship. The factors that are identified as influencing students' inclination towards entrepreneurship include student intention, university support, and the environment. The study utilized quantitative survey methods to gather primary data from a sample of 175 respondents, consisting of student entrepreneurs from the Faculty of Technology Management and Technopreneurship (FPTT) at UTeM. The respondents specifically belonged to the BTEC, BTMI, BTMS, and BTMM batches of 2021/2022. A questionnaire was employed to collect data, using a five-point Likert Scale for measurement. The survey targeted student entrepreneurs who are currently enrolled in university. To ensure data consistency, pilot testing and reliability and validity analyses will be conducted. The data collected from respondents will then be analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Then, the collected data was checked for errors and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The study's findings revealed a significant correlation between student intention, environment, and no significant correlation between the university support. According to the modal summary presented in Table 4.19, the independent factors considered in the study can only account for 10.7% of the variability in students' entrepreneurial inclination and the remaining 89.3% of the variability may influence by other factors that not investigated in this study. This underscores the need for further research to uncover additional factors crucial for understanding and promoting student entrepreneurship.
