Entrepreneurial Attitude and Entrepreneurial Efficacy as Predictors to Entrepreneurial Intentions of General Academic Strand Students

This study investigated how entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial efficacy influence entrepreneurial intention among General Academic Strand (GAS) senior high school students, and to begin with, it aimed to determine the students’ levels of entrepreneurial l attitude, entrepreneurial efficacy, and entrepreneurial intention, as well as examine the relationships among these variables and identify how entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial efficacy affect entrepreneurial intention. To accomplish this, the researchers employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach and involved 87 GAS students, while data were analyzed using the mean and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient. The results indicated that the students demonstrated moderate levels of entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurial efficacy, and entrepreneurial intention; moreover, the findings revealed significant relationships among the variables, with both entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial efficacy exerting a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention. Consequently, this suggests that students who possess positive entrepreneurial attitudes and strong confidence in their entrepreneurial abilities are more likely to develop higher entrepreneurial intentions, and overall, the study underscores the importance of fostering both attitudes and efficacy to strengthen students’ entrepreneurial intention.
