Abstract:
This study investigates the role of psychological factors in predicting the entrepreneurial aspirations of undergraduate students pursuing business education. Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in economic development and innovation, making it essential to understand the factors that influence individuals' entrepreneurial aspirations. By identifying these factors, educators and policymakers can design effective interventions to nurture and support entrepreneurial talent.

The study employs a quantitative research design, utilizing a structured questionnaire to collect data from a sample of business education undergraduate students. The questionnaire measures various psychological factors, including personality traits, self-efficacy, risk-taking propensity, and locus of control. Additionally, demographic variables such as gender, age, and previous entrepreneurial experience are considered.

The collected data are analyzed using statistical techniques such as correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis to determine the relationships between psychological factors and entrepreneurial aspirations. The findings provide insights into the specific psychological factors that significantly predict entrepreneurial aspirations among business education undergraduates.

Preliminary results suggest that certain personality traits, such as a high need for achievement, a proclivity for innovation, and a tolerance for ambiguity, positively influence entrepreneurial aspirations. Similarly, self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to succeed in entrepreneurial endeavors, emerges as a significant predictor of entrepreneurial aspirations.

Furthermore, the study explores the moderating effects of demographic variables, such as gender and age, on the relationship between psychological factors and entrepreneurial aspirations. Understanding these moderating effects can assist in designing targeted interventions to address potential gender or age-based disparities in entrepreneurial aspirations.

The findings of this study have implications for business educators, career counselors, and policymakers. By recognizing the importance of psychological factors, educational institutions can incorporate entrepreneurship-related curricula and experiential learning opportunities to foster entrepreneurial aspirations among business education undergraduates. Moreover, career counselors can leverage these findings to provide tailored guidance and support to students interested in entrepreneurship.

In conclusion, this study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the significance of psychological factors in predicting entrepreneurial aspirations among business education undergraduates. By gaining a deeper understanding of these factors, stakeholders can develop strategies to foster an entrepreneurial mindset and encourage the pursuit of entrepreneurial ventures among students.
