Abstract
Higher education institutions are expected to cope and respond to the dynamic of society, participate in job creation and generate economic productivity. One way to make it happen is through entrepreneurship. This research aimed to propose an entrepreneurial intention model specific for higher education graduates in Indonesia. Using data from Survei Angkatan Kerja Nasional (Sakernas) 2019 and Probit analysis, this study found that there was a declining intention in graduates with higher education. So does the graduates with training certificate tend to have a lower intention. These implied that higher human capital, which is formed from education and training, tends to lead higher education graduates to non-entrepreneurship occupations. However, there is an increasing trend in entrepreneurial intention for both fresh graduates and those who have had previous jobs. Men in more mature age have higher intention into entrepreneurship, but after certain age there is an inverted U-shape relation between graduates’ age and their entrepreneurial intention.
人们期望高等教育机构应对和响应社会的动态,参与创造就业机会并产生经济生产力。实现这一目标的一种方法是通过企业家精神。本研究旨在提出一个针对印尼高等教育毕业生的创业意向模型。利用2019年Angkatan Kerja Nasional (Sakernas)的调查数据和Probit分析,该研究发现,受过高等教育的毕业生的意愿有所下降。因此,有培训证书的毕业生倾向于有较低的意愿。这表明,高等教育和培训形成的较高人力资本倾向于导致高等教育毕业生从事非创业性职业。然而,无论是应届毕业生还是有工作经历的人,创业意愿都呈上升趋势。年龄越成熟的男性创业意愿越高,但在一定年龄之后,毕业生的年龄与创业意愿呈倒u型关系。
