Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the entrepreneurial intentions of UiTM Segamat business students and its main factors influencing it. The attitude, subjective norm, entrepreneurial education, and self-efficacy are the variables analyzed in this study. Samples of 171 business students were tested. The result shows there is an intention to become an entrepreneur among students and attitude is the main factor that contributes to it. Subjective norm and self-efficacy have moderate influence but entrepreneurial education does not significantly influence their entrepreneurial intention with the hope that MASMED gives attention and attempts to improve the effectiveness of the entrepreneurship program in university. This in general, encourages students to be courageous to start-up businesses and at the same time respond to our country desires.
