The insignificant amount of Indonesian youths engaging in entrepreneurship has led to the assumption that it is difficult for youths to become entrepreneurs for their lack of capacity to create and innovate, and also their lack of courage to take risks. As a result, there is nearly no study on the capacity of young Indonesian entrepreneurs in maintaining their business continuity. This qualitative research, thus, aims to explore-by using the narrative method-the experiences of six young entrepreneurs in Indonesia when they were in a condition to decide to become an entrepreneur, and the conditions of running a business, with the purpose of understanding the context in which the youths opt to maintain business continuity. The study results indicate that despite being committed to themselves, their businesses, and their social capital, the youths' motivation to maintain their business continuity varies. More dynamic social conditions and more social relations result in more successful business continuity for it is driven by more superior motivation of young entrepreneurs; conversely, if social conditions are merely formed by internal conditions and fewer social relations, then youths' motivation to continue their business is low.
This article is an initial step to reach a conceptual understanding on young entrepreneurs in sociological studies. Many studies pertaining to entrepreneurship have been found in various discipline of studies, however, nothing of note has been found particularly in connection to the concept of youth. The current reality in Indonesia precisely exhibits multiple entrepreneurship activities targeting young people as organizers and participants. The identity of entrepreneur is constructed by tracing and researching the variety of important concepts observed in various literature (written by economy, sociology, and entrepreneurship experts) concerning entrepreneur action. Entrepreneur identity has 4 dimensions: triggering event, innovation, action strategy of start-up arrangement (as stated in the business plan/model), and entrepreneurship implementation. Entrepreneur identity will be discussed by using multiple data obtained from YouTube in the form of speeches, lectures, and interviews of young entrepreneurs until an understanding is ultimately acquired regarding the identity of young entrepreneurs' base of action by analyzing their emphasis on what they do as entrepreneurs. The discussion develops further as the identity touches on a more complex social context: social welfare, hence, young entrepreneurs also have the identity of young entrepreneurs' social movement comprising of three phases: initiation, strategic, and control.
This research was based on the phenomenon of free sex behavior by students in their boarding houses, hence the existence of the term 'rules-free' and 'strict-rules' boarding houses. This phenomenon was interesting to study using the concept of behavior so that it can be understood sociologically how the two concepts of the boarding house are related. Grounded theory was used in this research in the hope that the construction of social control in the boarding house arises from the expressions and beliefs, experiences, feelings, and goals of the owner and the occupants. The results showed that students' deviant behavior in the form of free sex was caused by four factors, namely the absence of enforcement of the rules in the boarding house by the owner, students' weak self-control, the arrangement of boarding houses was hidden from society, and negative labeling formed by a stigma. This research concluded that self-control in a boarding house is not formed by awareness to uphold social norms, but is more prompted by one's desire to avoid being embarrassed.
