This research aims to study the intentions of students in entrepreneurship by using the theory ofplanned behavior of Fishbein and Ajzein. This study was conducted in six state universities in Indonesia,namely University A in Northern Sumatra, University B in Western Sumatra, University Cin Jakarta, University D in Yogyakarta, University E in Eastern Java and University F in SouthernSulawesi with total sample of 600 final year students. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferentialstatistics using SPSS 11.5 and structural equation models using LISREL software to test themodels. The result shows that the theory of planned behavior is proven significant to predict students’entrepreneurial intention simultaneously in those six universities, whereas subjective normwas the strongest variable in the modeling. However, significant differences were found betweenresults from each university, when analyzed separately. The model has different partial impact ineach university, whereas the model only worked significantly in University D and F. Meanwhile, inUniversity A, B and E some variables do not significantly influenced entrepreneurial intention andfor University C, we believe that there are other variables that may explain the students’ entrepreneurialintention in University C since the model proved insignificantly to predict their entrepreneurialintention. |
