In the social psychology literature, niat
which are translations of English intentions have been investigated and proven
to be the first best predictor of planned behavior by a person (planned
individual behavior), especially behavior that is difficult to observe,
behavior that is still rare compared to behavior that is already common , and
behaviors that require a grace period to make it happen (Krueger, Reilly and
Carsud, 2000). Entrepreneurial intention is an example of a predictor of
entrepreneurial behavior. Entrepreneurial intention in its practical definition
is the desire of someone to carry out activities to open new businesses to
create jobs for themselves and their environment, earn income and even get
social status as an entrepreneur. Academically, entrepreneurial intention is
defined as a state of mind that can guide one's actions and direct attention
towards achieving the goal of being an entrepreneur. From here then the term
entrepreneurship emerges as a job creator. This entrepreneurial intention is
still rare, in contrast to the intention to become a civil servant, a company
employee or to be a factory worker or termed as a job seekers. The tips to
become an entrepreneur must continue to be encouraged in various ways, both
through education at the university level , creating a competitive business
climate through government regulations and policies and promoting and
socializing to the public that entrepreneurship is as noble as working as a
civil servant or private employee.
The government through universities realizes
that the community's entrepreneurial intentions in general and students in
particular are still low and must continue to be encouraged. The strategic step
taken by the university is to include entrepreneurship courses in the
compulsory curriculum in tertiary institutions, provide specialized
entrepreneurship training for students interested in entrepreneurship, help
with initial capital and establish business incubators at the university.
Business competition activities from the faculty level, university level and
national level are continuously carried out every year. Generally,
entrepreneurship education in universities is intended to provide
entrepreneurial knowledge and skills to students, learn the character of an
entrepreneur, emerge entrepreneurial talents, motivate students to become
entrepreneurs. Various skills needed by an entrepreneur are also given such as
written and verbal communication techniques, business skills such as planning,
decision making, marketing, finance and corporate organization. While personal
skills also provided include self-control, innovation, risk taking and
readiness to change.
