Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research was aimed at synthesizing the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention by using a systematic review. The samples were research articles that were searched in the Google Scholar database and published from 2014 to 2023. Selection criteria included research related to entrepreneurial intention by considering keywords, abstracts, research titles, and meeting the qualification requirements determined by the researcher. The research methodology is a systematic review. The research tool consists of three parts: 1) a research screening form, 2) a research quality evaluation form, and 3) a data extraction form. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The researcher and an educational expert evaluated the research articles. The results showed that the research was derived from 800 articles, but there were five articles that have passed the final evaluation criteria. The findings concluded that the factors that influenced entrepreneurial intentions were: 1) personal attitude, 2) discrepancies based on social norms, and 3) perceived behavioral control. The above factors influenced the intention to be an entrepreneur for a population group. All three factors are consistent with Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior, which identifies factors that affect a person's entrepreneurial intentions.
