1.0 INTRODUCTION

In the dynamic landscape of contemporary higher education, understanding the factors that mold
entrepreneurial intentions among university students is of paramount importance. Against the
backdrop of Malaysia's evolving economic environment, this study delves into the intricate web
of influences that shape the entrepreneurial mindset within the student population. Recognizing
the pivotal role universities play in nurturing future entrepreneurs, this research takes a holistic
approach, probing the multifaceted aspects that contribute to or hinder entrepreneurial intentions
among students.

The methodology employed in this investigation is anchored in open-ended questions posed to a

diverse sample of university students across Malaysia. By casting a wide net, encompassing
various disciplines and educational backgrounds, the study seeks to capture a nuanced and
comprehensive view of the entrepreneurial landscape among the student body. These open-ended
inquiries aim to unravel the underlying motivations, challenges, and aspirations that students
harbor concerning entrepreneurship, providing a rich tapestry of qualitative data for analysis.

As we navigate the intricate fabric of entrepreneurial intentions, the study scrutinizes the impact
of educational environments, familial backgrounds, and societal perceptions on students'
inclination toward entrepreneurship. Unraveling the threads of influence, the research endeavors
to untangle the complex interplay between individual characteristics, educational structures, and
cultural norms, shedding light on the intricate dynamics that propel or impede entrepreneurial
aspirations. The overarching goal is to not only identify these factors but also to offer insights that
can inform policy, educational practices, and support systems conducive to fostering a vibrant
culture of entrepreneurship within Malaysian universities. Through this research, we aim to
contribute not only to academic discourse but also to the practical enhancement of entrepreneurial
education and the cultivation of an environment where students can confidently embark on
entrepreneurial ventures.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

2.1 ANALYZING THE RESPONDENTS’ DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

The study aims to gather information regarding the demographic characteristics of the university
students participating in the research. This information will assist in understanding the sample's
characteristics and provide insights into any differences in factors that may influence their
entrepreneurial intentions among various demographic groups.

2.2 COMPARING THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP INTENTION

BETWEEN FEMALES AND MALES
This objective aims to gain insights into the specific factors influencing entrepreneurial intention
among females and males. The study specializes in identifying gender-specific factors that may
contribute to a more inclusive business ecosystem by comparing the goals of both genders.

2.3 COMPARING THE DIFFERENCE IN AGE, GENDER, AND MANY MORE

BETWEEN FEMALES AND MALES
In addition to entrepreneurial intentions, this objective is to examine the impact of a certain factor
(such as financial support, access to resources, or prior entrepreneurial experience) on
entrepreneurial tendencies among male and female university students. Gaining insight into these
distinctions will assist in the development of focused strategies by innovative businesses to
promote entrepreneurship among various genders

2.4 COMPARING THE DIFFERENCE IN ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION FOR

FOUR DIFFERENT EDUCATION LEVELS
This objective aims to examine how entrepreneurial intentions vary across different education
levels among university students. By comparing the intentions of students at various stages of
their academic journey, the study seeks to identify any significant differences and understand how
educational experiences may influence entrepreneurial aspirations regarding entrepreneurship.

2.5 EXAMINE WHETHER GENDER AND INTEREST IN STARTING A BUSINESS ARE
RELATED
To examine whether gender and interest in starting a business are related to entrepreneurial
intention among university students. Therefore, using statistical analysis techniques such as Anova
and Chi-square test is to determine if there is a significant relationship between gender, interest in
starting a business, and entrepreneurial intention among university students in Malaysia.

3.0 METHODOLOGY

The primary objective of this case study is to investigate factors influencing entrepreneurial
intentions among university students in Malaysia. Our sample consists of 54 students,
encompassing various academic levels from foundation courses to PhD programs. To gather
comprehensive data, we adopted a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and
quantitative data collection techniques. Quantitative data, characterized by numerical values,
includes measurements such as height, weight, time, price, and temperature. On the other hand,
qualitative data entails non-numeric categories and is typically gathered through methods like
observation, one-on-one interviews, and focus groups.

For data analysis, we employed SPSS software, which offers a range of statistical tools for
descriptive and bivariate analysis, numerical outcome predictions, and group identification
predictions. To facilitate data collection, we utilized Google Forms, a versatile online platform
that enables the creation of surveys and forms with diverse question types. This allowed us to
collect responses in real time from participants using any device.

To compare the means of two independent groups and determine if a statistically significant
difference exists, we employed the independent t-test, also known as the two-sample t-test. The
independent t-test assesses the means between two unrelated groups on the same continuous
dependent variable. We formulated the null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (H1) for
the independent sample t-test in two different, yet equivalent, ways. H0 assumes that the two
population means are equal (µ1 = µ2), while H1 suggests that the two population means are not
equal (µ1 ≠ µ2). Alternatively, H0 can be expressed as the difference between the two populations
being equal to 0 (µ1 - µ2 = 0), while H1 signifies that the difference is not 0 (µ1 - µ2 ≠ 0). In both
cases, µ1 and µ2 represent the population means for group 1 and group 2, respectively.

Furthermore, we utilized the ANOVA test to assess the significance of survey or experiment data.
ANOVA helps determine whether the null hypothesis should be rejected or the alternative
hypothesis embraced. It comes in one main variety: one-way ANOVA. One-way ANOVA
between groups is used when comparing two groups to assess differences. The ANOVA formula
generates the F statistic (F-ratio), which enables the examination of variability between and within

6
samples from multiple data sets. When there is no significant difference between the tested groups
(null hypothesis), the F-ratio statistic of the ANOVA will be close to 1. The F-distribution
encompasses a range of distribution functions characterized by two distinct numbers denoting the
numerator and denominator degrees of freedom.

In addition, we implement the Chi-Square test to determine a level of precision between expected
test results and the actual observed data. There are two primary types of Chi-Square tests: one for
testing independence or homogeneity in data, and another for testing the goodness of fit for a
model. These tests will be used to determine whether a specific null hypothesis may be refuted in
the process of hypothesis testing.

To detect statistically significant differences, we evaluated the means of independent variables,

such as age and gender. According to the central limit theorem, when random samples are drawn
from a population with replacement and the sample size is sufficiently large, the distribution is
expected to approximate normally if the population exhibits a mean (µ) and standard deviation
(σ). Typically, a sample size of 30 or more is considered sufficient when the population is
symmetric. In our case, we can argue that the central limit theorem applies since the sample size
exceeds 30.

5.0 CONCLUSION
In summary, the study employed a descriptive method to analyze entrepreneurial intentions,
revealing that respondents expressed commitment to venture creation but had a lower inclination
to commit firmly to starting a business in the future. Additionally, while students displayed a good
understanding of business resource sources, their knowledge of legal requirements for starting a
venture was lacking. The entrepreneurial mindset analysis showed a strong consideration for
positive and negative aspects, with less attention to financial benefits.

Moving on to the demographic analysis in Part B, the majority of respondents were female, aged
19 to 21, studying at Public Institutions of Higher Education, primarily pursuing Bachelor's
degrees. The interest in entrepreneurship courses was positive, with some respondents believing
that course interest varied based on individual career goals. Notably, a significant portion of
participants, especially Malays, expressed interest in starting their businesses after graduation.

Furthermore, the study addressed the second and third objectives using Independent t-tests, finding
no substantial evidence of differences in entrepreneurial intentions between genders or in the
perception of concept development support. For the fourth objective, analyzed through ANOVA,
no significant differences in entrepreneurial intentions were found among age groups. The fifth
objective, examining the relationship between gender and interest in starting a business through
the Chi-Square Test, revealed insufficient evidence to support a connection between the two.

In conclusion, the study sheds light on various aspects of entrepreneurial intentions, knowledge,
mindset, and demographic factors, providing valuable insights into the factors influencing
students' inclination toward entrepreneurship.
