International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 23, Issue 1 (December) ISSN 2289-1552 2020 262 THE EFFECT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL SELF-EFFICACY, SUBJECTIVE NORM, AND LOCUS OF CONTROL ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION THROUGH ENTREPRENEURIAL ATTITUDE IN ECONOMIC FACULTY STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITAS NEGERI MAKASSAR Andika Isma Sudarmiatin Agus Hermawan ABSTRACT Unemployment is a major problem in Indonesia. This happens because Indonesia is a country with a high level of population growth, which influences competition to get a job. One way that is considered effective enough in overcoming unemployment is by creating or increasing the number of entrepreneurs. This study aims to know the direct and indirect effects of entrepreneurial self- efficacy, subjective norms, locus of control, entrepreneurial attitude towards entrepreneurial intentions. The study uses a descriptive explanatory quantitative approach which describes the relationship between variables and a population of 492 students. The sampling technique used Proportional Random Sampling which amounts to 220 students from the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Makassar. The results showed that direct and indirect entrepreneurial self-efficacy, subjective norms, locus of control, entrepreneurial attitudes had a significant influence on entrepreneurial intentions. Students are expected to develop their skills related to business management so that they are not only focused on the products they produce but also they can carry out product marketing activities, and make decisions on business evaluation to develop the business. This research can be a source of information or reference for instructors or lecturers so that they can direct and guide students on the development of entrepreneurial skills, and for further researchers to seek to deepen and expand this research both in terms of variables and the development of research methods. Keywords: Entrepreneurial self-efficacy, subjective norm, locus of control, entrepreneurial intention, entrepreneurial attitude INTRODUCTION Economic problems in developing countries like Indonesia cannot be separated from high unemployment. This happens because Indonesia is a country with a fairly high population growth rate. With such a high population, it affects competition for jobs. The number of workers who are more than the job market and the growth rate of both of them is not balanced over time, ultimately resulting in many of the productive age population who do not find work. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in the last 5 years, the number of unemployed people in Indonesia has tended to decline. But in February 2020, the unemployment rate increased again by 60 thousand people. From 6.82 million people in February 2019 to 6.88 million people a year after that. The number of workforce in 2020 also increased to 137.91 million people, as many as 131.03 million of them working. The decline in employment came from the agricultural, trade, and other service sectors. This unemployment data does not include the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This is because the first positive confirmed case of Covid-19 only appeared on March 2, 2020. DKI Jakarta only implemented large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) on April 10, followed by other areas. One way that is considered quite effective in overcoming the problem of unemployment is by creating or increasing the number of entrepreneurs (Athia et al., 2018; Budy 2017; Lubis 2018; Nalling & Jannah 2018). Economic growth in developing countries like Indonesia is very dependent on entrepreneurship. This is following Schumpeter's theory which states that an entrepreneur or entrepreneur plays an important role in terms of economic growth. David McClelland, a sociologist from Harvard in his book "The Achieving Society" said that the prosperity of a country can be seen from the number of entrepreneurs who are at least 2% of the total population. This is in line with the opinion of David Osborne, in his book entitled "Reinventing Government" which states that a country becomes prosperous if it has at least 2% of entrepreneurs. With the addition of new entrepreneurs, it provides many job opportunities for the workforce, to reduce the number of unemployed. and expand job opportunities. Various strategies have been implemented by the government to increase the number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia, one of which is to include Entrepreneurship courses in the education curriculum, especially education at the tertiary level. The Faculty of Economics, State University of Makassar (UNM) is one of the educational institutions that has participated in implementing the curriculum where entrepreneurship courses are taught since students are in the joint preparation level (beginning of lectures). Learning Entrepreneurship courses conducted at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) is to equip students with entrepreneurial skills in the real sector so that students are not only able to generate creative ideas but can produce prototypes and marketing. Two main theories are used as the basis for researchers to research entrepreneurial intentions as predictors of entrepreneurial behavior which include The Entrepreneurial Event Theory (Shapero and Sokol, 1982) and Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 2005). The Shapero and Sokol models are developed based on three basic elements, namely, perceived desirability (the desire to become entrepreneurs), perceived feasibility (the perception of a person who feels he can process resources) to build a new business, and propensity to act (impulse to act). This model has empirical support, for example from Kruger et al. (2000). On the
