Determinants Impacting the Sustainable Entrepreneurial Intentions of Students in Public Universities in Bangladesh
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze determinants impacting the sustainable entrepreneurial intentions of students in public universities in Bangladesh. The study also examined the relationship between sustainable entrepreneurial intention and the determinants need for achievement, locus of control, family business background, and entrepreneurial education. In all, 26 attributes were considered when creating the study's questionnaire. 200 respondents are surveyed using a questionnaire approach. The study directly utilized SPSS (version 21) for data analysis. The study has used linear regression analysis. The survey result demonstrated that the need for achievement and family business background have a significant influence on university students' sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. Family business encourages and inspires students to start a business as a career option. Personal traits trigger students to take risks in their careers through a need for achievement. The remaining two factors, locus of control and entrepreneurial education, have moderate or no significant influence on university students' sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. The results provide implications for policymakers and educators for entrepreneurship development.
