Abstract🔗

Entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in economic growth for Indonesia. Unfortunately, the number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia is still lagging behind other ASEAN countries. The emergence of knowledge-based entrepreneurship makes universities become one of the vital supply sources for creating entrepreneurs. Even though it has institutional support from the Indonesian government, entrepreneurship is still not considered a promising alternative career choice. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of university institutional support (perceived educational support, concept development support, and concept development support) and personal traits variables (self-efficacy and proactive personality) on Indonesian students' entrepreneurial intention. This study was conducted using a judgmental sampling technique on 302 active university students in Indonesia who have received entrepreneurship education. Data analysis in this study was carried out using the PLS-SEM. The findings of this study indicate that perceived educational support directly affects entrepreneurial intention. While, perceived concept development support and perceived business development support positively shape self-efficacy, leading to entrepreneurial intention. This study also confirms self-efficacy and proactive personality as predictors of entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the study also shows that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between proactive personality and Indonesian students' intentions to be entrepreneurs.

Keywords
Perceived educational support, perceived concept development support, perceived business development support, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, proactive personality, entrepreneurial intention

Resumen🔗

El espíritu empresarial juega un papel fundamental en el crecimiento económico de Indonesia. Desafortunadamente, el número de empresarios en Indonesia todavía está rezagado con respecto a otros países de la ASEAN. El surgimiento del emprendimiento basado en el conocimiento hace que las universidades se conviertan en una de las fuentes vitales de suministro para la creación de emprendedores. A pesar de que cuenta con el apoyo institucional del gobierno de Indonesia, el espíritu empresarial todavía no se considera una opción de carrera alternativa prometedora. Por lo tanto, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el efecto del apoyo institucional universitario (apoyo educativo percibido, apoyo al desarrollo de conceptos y apoyo al desarrollo de conceptos) y las variables de rasgos personales (autoeficacia y personalidad proactiva) en la intención emprendedora de los estudiantes indonesios. Este estudio se realizó utilizando una técnica de muestreo de juicio en 302 estudiantes universitarios activos en Indonesia que habían recibido educación empresarial. El análisis de datos en este estudio se llevó a cabo utilizando el PLS-SEM. Los hallazgos de este estudio indican que el apoyo educativo percibido afecta directamente la intención emprendedora. Mientras que, el apoyo percibido al desarrollo del concepto y el apoyo percibido al desarrollo empresarial dan forma positiva a la autoeficacia, lo que lleva a la intención emprendedora. Este estudio también confirma la autoeficacia y la personalidad proactiva como predictores de la intención emprendedora. Además, el estudio también muestra que la autoeficacia media la relación entre la personalidad proactiva y las intenciones de los estudiantes indonesios de ser empresarios.

Palabras clave
