The Impact

Purpose – This paper aims to clarify the impact of the entrepreneurial training on a Tunisian trainee’s entrepreneurial cognitions and intention. An interactive cognitive perspective was adopted to test the interaction effect between the entrepreneurial cognitions: the perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy, the perceived entrepreneurial feasibility and entrepreneurial desirability. A research model was built showing several relationships between entrepreneurial training, cognitions and intention. Design/methodology/approach – A survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 240 participants in four business incubators. The maximum-likelihood test was used as a structural equation modeling method to test the model. Findings – The results show the importance of the entrepreneurial training in the development of entrepreneurial cognitions. Further, the findings, to some extent, validate the interaction between the entrepreneurial cognitive patterns. However, entrepreneurial intention was only predicted through the entrepreneurial desirability. Several implications are discussed at the end of this paper. Practical implications – The findings seem interesting insofar, as they show the importance of entrepreneurial trainings in the entrepreneurial intention development through the enhancement of desirability. This process can be triggered by a training program that contains case studies, success stories and conferences to make the youth enthusiastic about self-employment. Originality/value – The significant impact of the entrepreneurial training on trainees’ cognitions should encourage governments and incubators to promote entrepreneurial training programs to enhance the youths’ willingness to create their own businesses. The findings in this paper seem interesting insofar as they show the importance of entrepreneurial trainings in the entrepreneurial intention development through the enhancement of desirability. This process can be triggered by a training program that contains case studies, success stories and conferences to make the youth enthusiastic about self-employment.

This research is part of the preparation before evaluating On the Job Training program. The goal is to validate the instrument before used as a raw instrument to obtain field data. This research is carried out with quantitative approach. The data is collected by using questionnaire instruments to evaluate the impact of evaluation on the job training program at the behavior, outcome levels, and results. The instrument is tested on 30 respondents, namely Honda Putra Merdeka Cibubur, Honda Lestari Motor Cariu and Honda Citra Indah Jonggol. The test validity of the instrument using the product moment correlation formula. The results of the study show not all tested instruments are valid. Out of 35 instruments tested, 4 items of instruments are invalid. The instrument is in the dimensions of precision and work accuracy, increase in company revenue, and the level of curiosity at work. The result of the instrument validity concludes that the instrument that can be used to evaluate the on the job training program is as many as 31 items with the reliability value that can be received in a very good category of 0.928.
