This study aims to measure the impact of entrepreneurial motivation on the entrepreneurial intention of Muslim vocational school students. There is a lack of scholarly attention focusing on the Muslim students in the entrepreneurship field of the study. There were three models to be tested in this study. The first model covered six dimensions of motivation linked directly to entrepreneurial intention. The second model grouped the dimensions under the motivation variable. The third model linked taking motivation to giving motivation and giving motivation to entrepreneurial intention. Data were collected from 626 vocational school students in Jakarta. The exploratory and structural equation models were used for data analysis. This study found that, in the first model tested, “entrepreneur is cool” dimension had a significant effect on entrepreneurial intention. In the second model tested, “entrepreneurial is cool”, “financial freedom”, and “public service” dimensions represented entrepreneurial motivation that could predict Muslim students’ entrepreneurial intention. In the third model, taking motivation significantly affected giving motivation and giving motivation significantly affected intention. Recommendations for educators and future study are discussed.

“…Embora se reconheça que a motivação atua no nível intrapsíquico, visto que é a pessoa que se move em direção a um objetivo, fatores externos e contextuais podem ativá-la. A cultura, por exemplo, pode ajudar na disseminação de valores de empreendedorismo (Almeida, 2013;Martin & Picazo, 2009;Sesen & Pruett, 2014). Estudos recentes têm se ocupado das motivações que levam jovens universitários a seguir carreira empreendedora e a montar o seu próprio negócio.…”

“…A crença de que o empreendedorismo contribui para o desenvolvimento econômico e social tem levado estudiosos a investigarem mais detidamente o papel das variáveis de contexto na decisão de jovens de seguirem carreira empreendedora (p. ex., Sesen & Pruett, 2014). A família, as redes sociais de trabalho (Abebe, 2012;Almeida & Teixeira, 2014;Nanda & Sϕrensen, 2010), as ações empreendedoras de ex-colegas de curso universitário, principalmente homens (Kacperczyk, 2013), além da inclusão de cursos de empreendedorismo durante o período de formação universitária (p.…”

Este estudo analisa o efeito de variáveis de percepção de contexto do ambiente universitário e familiar e também de variáveis motivacionais e atitudinais na intenção empreendedora de jovens universitários. Testou-se também a influência indireta da atitude positiva em relação ao empreendedorismo nessas relações. Participaram 2.999 estudantes de diversos cursos de uma universidade pública do Brasil. Os resultados indicam que a motivação para o poder, seguida pela aprendizagem empreendedora e a menor percepção de risco são melhores preditores da intenção empreendedora. Além disso, os efeitos das relações entre motivos de poder, aprendizagem empreendedora e percepção de risco na intenção empreendedora são mediados pela atitude positiva em relação ao empreendedorismo. O estudo oferece evidências a favor das teorias da ação racional e da ação planejada, ressaltando o papel fundamental da atitude na intenção de escolha do empreendedorismo. Palavras-chave: Intenção empreendedora; ação planejada; atitude; empreendedorismo. This study analyzes the effect of context perception variables in both academic and family environments, as well as motivational and attitudinal variables in the entrepreneurial intentions of university students. It also tested the indirect influence of positive attitude towards entrepreneurship among these relations. The participants in this study were 2,999 students from various departments at a public university in Brazil. The results indicate that the motivation for power, followed by entrepreneurial learning and lower perception of risk, are better predictors of entrepreneurial intention. In addition, the effects of the relationships between power, entrepreneurial learning, and perception of risk on entrepreneurial intention are mediated by positive attitude towards entrepreneurship. The study provides evidence for the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior, highlighting the key role of attitude in the intention to choose entrepreneurship.

“…Due to the development potential associated with entrepreneurship, a trend has emerged to use entrepreneurship training programs as a development strategy (Canziani, Welsh, Hsieh, & Tullar, 2015). More attention has been paid to entrepreneurship than ever before due to the effects of globalization (Şeşen & Pruett, 2016). Swanson (2006) asserted shifting attention from production-focused extension policies toward the entrepreneurship development of small farmers is needed for achieving the agricultural development expectations of developing countries.…”

This study evaluated a two-way, visitor exchange project for entrepreneurship development between three African countries and the United States. The study's purpose was to determine outcomes, understand lessons learned, and derive implications for international agricultural development. Findings of the study confirm visiting African Entrepreneur Fellows (AEFs) developed entrepreneurial knowledge, gained business skills, and acquired positive attitudes toward U.S. business and culture. The majority of AEFs had applied acquired knowledge and skills to improve their businesses and promoted open economic ideals, business ethics, and human rights in their businesses. As a result, AEFs were able to expand their business into new ventures, improve customer services, establish communication networks, and serve their communities. Visitor exchange, entrepreneurship-building programs are effective strategies in contributing to development efforts in developing countries. Paying due attention to the selection and matching of U.S. mentors with the business interests and learning needs of international fellows is necessary to ensure their learning expectations are met. It is important to assign international participants with suitable mentors for longer periods of time to increase the likelihood of receiving more in-depth learning experiences and develop lasting professional relationships to further collaboration. Realization of the potential of entrepreneurship-focused, visitor exchange programs between nations as a strategy for international agricultural development is the major implication of this study.
