This paper examines the validation instrument used to measure the psychometric status of the self-employment intentions. Self-employment intentions are crucial to identify the university students in order to confirm their decision making. They are a questionnaire to measure graduation in university to start choice on their careers. This instrument is composed of 11 items and was carried out to 115 international students studying in one Indonesian higher education. There were 49 male and 66 female respondents involved in this study. The Cronbach’s Alpha value was .94 which strongly suggest that the instrument has an excellent reliability. This study points out that self-employment intentions are suitable to be used by college personnel and counselors to examine and identify self-employment intentions among international students in Indonesian higher education. Implications for future study will also be discussed.

Behavioural Factors

This study assesses whether final-year undergraduate students at Sana’a University, Yemen intend to start their own business. The study employs the theory of planned behaviour and two environmental factors to explore whether the theory’s behavioural factors and the contextual factors of Lüthje & Franke’s model have an impact on students’ intentions to start their own business. A questionnaire survey with a random sample of 335 final-year university students from the largest public university in Yemen has been conducted. Data has been analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and structural equation modelling. The findings indicate that students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship have a strong, direct impact on self-employment intention, excluding social norms and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Students’ self-employment intention is directly affected by perceived barriers and support factors in the entrepreneurship-related context. To increase their entrepreneurial abilities, university students require more training and education to be able to start new businesses. Developing entrepreneurial skills among citizens may improve the societal norms of business. The outcomes provide significant implications for policymakers, academic communities and international bodies.

Positive Effect

The positive effect of students' exposure to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intention is well established in extant literature. Ghana is an example of an emerging country that has embraced entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education to curb unemployment levels, especially among university graduates. However, countless university graduates especially in Ghana prefer seeking non-existent jobs rather than establishing their businesses. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual framework that highlights entrepreneurial competencies, social support, and business opportunities as essential factors that can potentially enhance the entrepreneurial intentions of university students, particularly fresh graduates. Specifically, we offer three propositions with the anticipation of generating fresh research interest for future studies in entrepreneurial intentions among university graduates. Understanding these driving forces leading to entrepreneurial intentions among young graduates is critical for effective entrepreneurship education and self-employment in Ghana and beyond.

Placement Learning

This study draws on social cognitive career theory to test a moderated mediation model of self-employment preparatory behaviours in university students undertaking placement learning in a business organization (PLBO). Using time-lag data from 337 university students undertaking work placement in 123 business organizations, the study hypotheses were tested using PROCESS Macro 3.5. The results revealed that PLBO significantly influenced student self-employment self-efficacy, self-employment outcome expectations and self-employment preparatory behaviours. Also, self-employment self-efficacy and self-employment outcome expectations mediated the relationship between work placement learning and self-employment preparatory behaviours. However, placement supervisor support interacted with PLBO such that greater support from placement supervisors contributed to stronger self-employment preparatory behaviours. The placement learning supervisor support moderated the indirect effect of PLBO on self-employment preparatory behaviours via self-employment self-efficacy and self-employment outcome expectations at all levels (−1SD, Mean and +1SD).

The Relationship

Objective - The purpose of this paper is to describe entrepreneurial intentions (EI) among university students in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Methodology/Technique - Adapting the theory of planned behavior, this study measures entrepreneurial self-efficacy, risk tolerance, and desirability of self-employment as antecedents of entrepreneurial intention. Using cross-sectional data from 190 students in Bandung, the analysis uses multiple regression analysis to investigate the relationship among the variables. Findings - The findings show that entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability of self-employment have a significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions. Desirability of working for others and risk-averse personalities were found to be suppressor variables, while risk-taker personalities were found to be insignificant. Novelty - The study contributes to the field of entrepreneurial intention research as it investigates the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions among university students in Bandung based on samples taken from 8 different universities. Type of Paper - Review. Keywords: Entrepreneurial; Indonesia; Intention; Motivation; Students. JEL Classification: L26, I23.

The Impact

Background: The 2019 coronavirus disease epidemic (Covid-19) is a public health emergency of international concern and poses a challenge to the labor market. The pandemic has a devastating and disproportionate effect on young workers, their interest in entrepreneurship, and their mental health. Research is needed to develop evidence-based strategies to improve coping and reduce adverse psychological problems. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact that Covid-19 pandemic perception and psychological need satisfaction have on university students and their self-employment intention. In addition, we also analyzed the role of moderation played by psychological aspects. These psychological factors (i.e., Optimism and Proactiveness) can also improve young people’s mental health and well-being. Methods: An explorative study (online survey) was conducted in March 2020 934 university students from Latin America. Regression analysis models were built to examine the relationships between Covid-19 pandemic perception, personality variables, and entrepreneurial intention. Mediation models, through the bootstrapping method, were performed to analyze the mediating role of proactiveness and optimism. Results: Results indicate that students’ perception of Covid-19 and psychological need satisfaction are associated with entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, the present study argues that proactiveness and optimism mediate these relationships. Conclusions: This study identifies psychological factors associated with a lower level of Covid-19 impact and that can be used for psychological interventions that result in an improvement in the mental health of these vulnerable groups during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
