Analysis Of Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention Among Algerian Students

Abstract

This study primarily aims to identify the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention among students at the Kolea University Center in Tipaza. To achieve this objective, a descriptive and analytical approach was adopted, incorporating techniques such as descriptive statistics, factor analysis of mixed data and multiple regression. A sample of 250 students was selected using a quota sampling method and surveyed using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis showed that the level of entrepreneurial intention within the sample ranges from moderate to high. Factor analysis revealed that students who have a parent, friend, or family member engaged in entrepreneurial activity, or who follow entrepreneurs on social media, as well as those who are employed or self-employed, are more likely to exhibit a high level of entrepreneurial intention. Multiple linear regression, in turn, showed that entrepreneurial intention among these students is significantly influenced by the personal factor as well as the “education and training” factor.
