Thus, entrepreneurship is focused on establishing businesses and reflects innovative efforts and courage in facing challenges to create meaningful impact.
Entrepreneurship is an important strategic management paradigm that advances economic growth in specific regions and countries.
Entrepreneurs foster economic prosperity by developing ideas and turning them into commercial enterprises.
The growth of firms is significant and necessary as it creates jobs, drives innovation, and increases efficiency in many areas of the economy (Saoula et al.

Based on data from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, as of August 2023, poverty reached 7.
86 million people, with an Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) of 5.
32%, one of which was caused by the low number of entrepreneurs as job openers.
One of the efforts that can be made is to create jobs.

Universities function as institutions that are expected to produce graduates who contribute positively to employment development, especially in Indonesia.
In an era of globalization filled with challenges and opportunities, students act as agents of change who are expected to be the pioneers of future entrepreneurship.
This role is supported through the provision of entrepreneurship education and training during the lecture period and participation in business development programs organized by universities.

This includes important aspects such as market analysis, namely the ability to understand consumer needs and analyze industry trends, then financial literacy, such as understanding capital management, bookkeeping, financial planning, and investment strategies to support business desires.
and risk management, namely identifying risks that will be faced in doing business.
Good entrepreneurial knowledge will make it easier for prospective entrepreneurial students to identify business opportunities, analyze problems, and find practical solutions.
this is also supported by research conducted by (Indriyani and Suryantara, 2.
, which says that entrepreneurial knowledge affects entrepreneurial interest.
In addition to entrepreneurial knowledge, students need to have high entrepreneurial motivation to support success in running a business.
According to Yuritanto and Armansyah .
, entrepreneurial motivation is a strong drive from within to become an entrepreneur.
This motivation is influenced by three main factors, namely intrinsic factors .

With motivation, students will be encouraged to explore the world of entrepreneurship, which is full of opportunities and challenges, with an unyielding spirit and strong determination to succeed.
Although students face obstacles such as difficulties in understanding entrepreneurship learning and hesitancy to start a business, these challenges can be overcome by providing training and guidance organized by the university, which is designed to help students overcome these obstacles effectively.
This is supported by research conducted by Daniel and Handoyo .
, where entrepreneurial motivation positively affects entrepreneurial In addition to knowledge about entrepreneurship and motivation, self-efficacy is a crucial factor that encourages entrepreneurial intentions.
Individuals with high self-efficacy feel confident in starting a business.
According to Marco and Selamat .
, entrepreneurial self-efficacy refers to the belief in oneself and the capacity to face obstacles in entrepreneurship.
When self-efficacy is high, individuals are more courageous in initiating a business.
They are better equipped to persist and find solutions to failures or difficulties.
Similarly, research conducted by Tanumihardja and Slamet .
indicates that self-efficacy significantly positively impacts students' entrepreneurial intentions in Jakarta.
Students confident in overcoming challenges are more motivated to take concrete steps toward starting a business, even if they do not yet possess complete entrepreneurial knowledge.
Overall, self-efficacy strengthens the relationship between entrepreneurial knowledge and motivation.
When students feel confident in their abilities, they are more likely to apply the entrepreneurial knowledge they have acquired and are more driven to tackle any obstacles that may arise.
Therefore, self-efficacy influences entrepreneurial intentions and enhances an individual's capacity to act and innovate in the business world.
In addition to knowledge about entrepreneurship and motivation for entrepreneurship, self-efficacy is also one factor that encourages intentions in entrepreneurship.
