INTRODUCTION
Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in economic growth and societal well-being (Van Praag & Versloot, 2.
, particularly in job creation.
It has become an increasingly popular career choice among young people, including university students (Edelman et al.
, 2.
Amid employment uncertainty, entrepreneurship fosters innovation and societal development regardless of situational demands (Barba-Synchez & Atienza-Sahuquillo, 2.

However, entrepreneurship is a complex and challenging process that often originates from entrepreneurial intention.
This intention serves as a primary indicator in predicting entrepreneurial behavior, as without it, further entrepreneurial actions are unlikely to materialize (Liyyn & Fayolle, 2.
Preliminary research conducted in 2024 involving 115 students from Lampung University .
ohorts 2021 and 2.
examined their entrepreneurial The findings indicated that 89.
6% of respondents expressed interest in entrepreneurship, yet only 25.
2% had actually initiated a business.
This discrepancy suggests that while entrepreneurial interest is high, actual engagement in entrepreneurship remains low.
The measurement of entrepreneurial intention in this study was adapted from Martins & Perez .
, encompassing two dimensions: entrepreneurial intention and individual financial readiness.
Organizational support has been identified as a key factor in fostering youth entrepreneurship (Field et al.
, 2.
Such support significantly influences job creation and establishes new business standards, thereby contributing to economic improvement (Israr & Saleem, 2.
Universities, as part of the broader organizational framework, can enhance entrepreneurial intentions through workshops, seminars, skill development programs, and networking opportunities (Shahzad et al.
, 2.
Entrepreneurial education at the university level plays a vital role in fostering innovation and entrepreneurial activity (Yi, 2.
, providing students with resources and funding to develop and launch new ventures (Y.
Li et al.
, 2.
Previous research has demonstrated the significant impact of university support on the growth of new businesses (Aliedan et al.
, 2.
, with universities increasingly serving as economic development agents (Guerrero et al.
, 2.
A preliminary survey on organizational .
support among Lampung University students found that 97.
4% acknowledged receiving entrepreneurial education through coursework, 96.
5% felt motivated by the university to start their own businesses, and 74.
8% believed that the university provided tangible support for launching new ventures.
These findings suggest that the university plays a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurial intention among students.
Beyond institutional support, family support also significantly influences entrepreneurial aspirations.
Family support encompasses emotional, social, and financial encouragement in pursuing entrepreneurship (Klyver et al.
Families shape individuals' confidence, attitudes, risk-taking abilities, and career choices (Lotfizadeh & Heidarzadeh Hanzaee, 2.
Research indicates that family support is particularly critical in the early stages of International Journal of Education.

February 2025 Page 422-432 business ideation, offering emotional and moral reinforcement (Edelman et al.
Moreover, it can mitigate employment-related challenges by providing financial and social resources (Hahn et al.
, 2.
However, some families may discourage entrepreneurship due to its perceived risks, instead favoring conventional career paths (Boldureanu et al.
, 2.
Family support is assessed across three dimensions: emotional, intellectual, and economic support (Osorio et al.
, 2.
A preliminary study on family support among Lampung University students revealed that 94.
8% felt supported in their career choices, while 93.
reported receiving encouragement to pursue entrepreneurship.
Despite these high levels of support, entrepreneurial intention remained low, as reflected in the small proportion of students who had actually started a business.
Previous studies on university support and entrepreneurial intention have yielded mixed While some researchers argue that university support directly influences entrepreneurial intention (Saeed et al.
, 2015.
Mustafa et al.
, 2016.
Aliedan et al.
, 2.
, others have found no significant direct impact (Sim et al.
Additionally, research by C.
Li et al.
suggests that university support mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial behavior.
However, their study was limited to female students from business, economics, and social science programs, highlighting the need for further research across diverse academic disciplines.
This study focuses on Lampung University students from the 2021 and 2022 cohorts to examine entrepreneurial intention.
The rationale for selecting this group is based on preliminary findings indicating that while students receive substantial support from both their university and families, their entrepreneurial engagement remains low.
Given the importance of entrepreneurship in economic growth and employment creation, this study aims to explore the influence of organizational .
and family support on entrepreneurial intention.
RESEARCH METHOD
Research Population and Sample According to Sekaran and Bougie .
, a population refers to a collection of individuals, events, or objects of interest from which researchers draw conclusions based on sample statistics.
This studyAos population comprises active Universitas Lampung students from the 2021 and 2022 cohorts, totaling 17,129 students as of August 2024.
The selection of this population is based on the educational support dimension of organizational .

Morissan, 2.
Hair et al.
suggest a representative sample should be five to ten times the number of indicators, thus requiring 260 respondents.
The study employs probability sampling using a simple random sampling technique, ensuring equal selection chances for all Universitas Lampung students from the 2021 and 2022 cohorts (Sekaran & Bougie, 2.
Data Collection Techniques This study utilizes both primary and secondary data sources.
Primary data refers to information collected directly by researchers to address specific research variables (Sekaran & Bougie, 2.
In contrast, secondary data consists of pre-existing information obtained from documents or other sources (Sekaran & Bougie, 2.
Data collection employs a structured questionnaire with a fivepoint Likert scale (Sekaran & Bougie, 2.
, distributed through Google Forms and social media to Universitas Lampung students from the 2021 and 2022 Additionally, a literature review is conducted to examine theoretical frameworks and concepts relevant to the study (Sugiyono, 2.
Operational Definition of Variables The operational definition of variables is essential to determine the types, indicators, and measurement scales of each variable in this study, facilitating accurate hypothesis testing.
Organizational or university support (X.
for entrepreneurship enhances students' cognitive skills, awareness, motivation, and entrepreneurial ideas (Sim et al.
, 2.
It consists of three dimensions:
educational support, conceptual development, and business development, measured using a five-point Likert scale.
Family support (X.
is defined as an individualAos perception of receiving emotional, intellectual, and financial support from family when starting a business (Osorio et al.
, 2.
Entrepreneurial intention reflects an individualAos commitment to entrepreneurial behavior (Martins & Perez, 2.
, encompassing both intention and financial readiness.
Indicators for each dimension include aspects such as university-provided entrepreneurship courses, financial assistance, family encouragement, and individual willingness to invest in a business.
Data is gathered through structured questionnaires, employing validated measurement items to ensure reliability and consistency across variables (Sim et al.
, 2023.
Osorio et al.
, 2017.

70 is acceptable, and above 0.
80 is considered high (Sekaran & Bougie, 2.
Data Analysis Techniques Multiple linear regression is an analytical method utilized when a dependent variable is influenced by two or more independent variables (Hair et , 2.
This analysis predicts changes in the dependent variable in response to variations in independent variables.
The magnitude of individual regression coefficients indicates the effect of a unit increase in an independent variable while others remain constant (Sekaran, 2.
Hypothesis testing employs the ttest, which examines the partial influence of an independent variable on the dependent variable (Sugiyono, 2.
Statistical significance (Sig.

February 2025 Page 422-432 Respondent Responses The findings of this study, based on questionnaire responses, provide insights into organizational support, family support, and entrepreneurial intentions among students.
Regarding organizational or university support, the highest level of support was found in the dimension of concept development, particularly in motivating students to start new businesses.
In contrast, the lowest level of support was observed in the business development dimension, specifically in terms of the university serving as the primary customer for student-led businesses.
Overall, organizational support received a mean score Family support was most prominent in the emotional support dimension, with the highest agreement on family approval of entrepreneurial decisions.
the other hand, the lowest level of support was identified in the economic dimension, particularly in terms of financial assistance for business initiation.
The overall mean for family support was 4.
27, indicating strong family encouragement for entrepreneurship.
In terms of entrepreneurial intentions, individual financial readiness emerged as the highest-rated factor, with students expressing willingness to invest personal savings in their businesses.
Meanwhile, a slightly lower level of agreement was observed in the general entrepreneurial intention dimension, with the weakest response being in the commitment to making maximum efforts to run a business.
The overall mean for entrepreneurial intention was 4.
Entrepreneurial intention scores varied across faculties, with the Faculty of Law demonstrating the highest entrepreneurial inclination, followed by the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences.
Conversely, the Faculty of Engineering exhibited the lowest level of entrepreneurial intention, suggesting that students from this faculty may have a lesser interest in pursuing entrepreneurship.

According to Sekaran & Bougie .
, this technique assesses the effect of multiple independent variables on a dependent variable.
The findings indicate that university support has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial intention, as evidenced by a regression coefficient of 0.
173 and a t-value of 727, which exceeds the critical value .
, with a significance level of 0.
This suggests that stronger university support enhances studentsAo entrepreneurial intentions.
Similarly, family support also has a positive and significant effect, with a regression coefficient of 0.
380, a t-value of 8.
184, and a significance level of 0.
This implies that greater family encouragement positively influences students' motivation to pursue entrepreneurship.
Consequently, both hypotheses in this study are supported, reinforcing the critical role of institutional and familial support in fostering entrepreneurial aspirations among students at Universitas Lampung.
The Effect of Organizational Support (Universit.
on Entrepreneurial Intentions Organizational support serves as the first independent variable in this study, while entrepreneurial intention represents the dependent variable.
The hypothesis testing results indicate that organizational support exerts a positive and significant influence on the entrepreneurial intention of Universitas Lampung students from the 2021 and 2022 cohorts, thereby confirming the first This relationship suggests that universities play a crucial role in fostering studentsAo entrepreneurial intentions.
The highest mean score for organizational support is observed in the dimension of concept development support, highlighting its substantial role in stimulating entrepreneurial These findings align with Shi et al.
, who identified a positive relationship between university support and entrepreneurial intention.
Additionally.
Aliedan et al.
further reinforce this notion by demonstrating the significant positive impact of university education support.
However, this study differs from Shi et al.
in terms of geographical context, and from Aliedan et al.
by incorporating broader dimensions of organizational support, including education, concept development, and business development.
The Effect of Family Support on Entrepreneurial Intentions Family support constitutes the second independent variable in this study.
The findings indicate that family support has a positive and significant effect on the entrepreneurial intention of Universitas Lampung students from the 2021 International Journal of Education.

Many young individuals rely on their families for emotional, intellectual, and financial support in pursuing their aspirations (Hu et al.
, 2.
This aligns with the survey results, where the highest mean score for family support is observed in the emotional support dimension, emphasizing its role in providing psychological encouragement, empathy, and motivation to achieve personal These findings are consistent with Osorio et al.
, who identified a positive relationship between family support and perceived feasibility in Furthermore.
Chauhan et al.
corroborate this by demonstrating the significant impact of family support on entrepreneurial This study differs from prior research in geographical scope, as Osorio et al.
focused on the United States.
Chauhan et al.
on India, whereas this study was conducted in Indonesia.
CONCLUSION
The findings of this study indicate that organizational and family support significantly influence the entrepreneurial intentions of Universitas Lampung students, particularly those from the 2021 and 2022 cohorts.
Specifically, organizational support, provided by the university, exhibits a positive and significant effect on studentsAo entrepreneurial intentions.
This implies that when universities offer extensive support for entrepreneurship, studentsAo intentions to pursue entrepreneurship are strengthened.
Similarly, family support also demonstrates a positive and significant impact, suggesting that greater family encouragement leads to stronger entrepreneurial intentions among students.
Based on these findings, several recommendations can be proposed.
First, regarding organizational support, responses indicate that business development support received lower average ratings.
To address this, universities should enhance entrepreneurship support initiatives by promoting student businesses through relevant programs, establishing business incubators, and providing funding opportunities for both aspiring and existing student entrepreneurs.
Second, with respect to family support, the findings show that emotional support is highly rated, while economic support is relatively lower.
Since financial backing plays a crucial role in entrepreneurial decision-making, families should consider providing stronger economic Lastly, regarding entrepreneurial intentions, lower ratings suggest that students should develop greater confidence and commitment when considering entrepreneurship as a career path.
