Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention plays an important role in influencing one’s decision to engage in entrepreneurial activities. This study aims to find out the determinants of entrepreneurial intention among female university students in Malaysia. Factors such as attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurship education, and perceived university support were used as the determinants in this study. Furthermore, an overview of the research background and issues related to female entrepreneurship were discussed, that highlights the importance of understanding entrepreneurial intentions among female university students. The literature review contains the relevant theories used to develop the conceptual framework, and past studies were reviewed to understand the dependent and independent variables, which were then used to develop the research hypotheses. This study adopts a quantitative research method, as an online questionnaire (Google Form) was distributed to collect data from female university students in Malaysia. Then, the collected data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), including descriptive analysis, reliability testing, and multiple regression analysis. Finally, the last chapter presents the findings of this study, the limitations, and has proposed several recommendations for future research.
