A study on entrepreneurial intention among the rural - agricultural students

Abstract

This study examined entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate agriculture students from rural origin at Sohag university- faculty of agriculture. The perceived motivations and obstacles to entrepreneurship among students are also examined. Despite the fact that there have been many studies dealing with students' entrepreneurial intentions, few have specifically addressed the entrepreneurial intentions of agriculture students. The goal of this study is to ascertain the correlations between professional attraction, entrepreneurial capacity, and entrepreneurial experience toward entrepreneurial intention among Sohag University's agriculture students. All variables are measured from developed instrument using 7-point interval scale: professional attraction (6 items) and entrepreneurial capacity (5 items) as the exogenous variable, while entrepreneurial intention (6 items) as endogenous variables. Questionnaires were distributed to 150 students, based on random sampling selected from various races and genders, for the purpose of data collection. The social science statistical application SPSS was used to analyses the data. As a consequence, the hypothesis that professional attraction is positively correlated with entrepreneurial ambition is supported (=0.648, CR=2.324, p0.05). The findings indicated that the majority of students plan to launch their own firm following graduation. They believe that their biggest obstacle to business is a lack of entrepreneurial knowledge.
