Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of motivation and knowledge on entrepreneurial interest in Universitas Negeri Makassar students with entrepreneurship education as an intervening variable. The study will use a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research population is all entrepreneurship students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Makassar which amounted to 427 students. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and later calculated using the Slovin dai with a sample size of 85 (eighty-five) respondents or 20% of the total population. The findings of this study indicate that motivation and knowledge have a significant role in shaping entrepreneurial interest through entrepreneurship education. Individual motivation, whether sourced from personal passion, career goals, or the drive to create change, can be a strong driver to develop entrepreneurial interest. Entrepreneurship education provides a foundation of knowledge and practical skills that strengthen this motivation. With the knowledge gained through education, individuals can understand the aspects of entrepreneurship, identify opportunities and overcome business challenges. The combination of high motivation and solid entrepreneurial knowledge creates a favorable environment for the development of entrepreneurial interest.

Abstract

This study investigates whether the SERVQUAL dimensions tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—explain customer satisfaction in an independent full-service hotel and identifies the most influential levers. A cross-sectional survey of 100 staying guests recruited via accidental (intercept) sampling was administered using validated Likert-scale items. Construct validity and reliability were established prior to hypothesis testing. Multiple regression with standardized coefficients was employed to estimate the partial effects of each dimension and to assess their relative importance. Results indicate that all dimensions exhibit positive associations with satisfaction; empathy emerges as the strongest predictor, followed by assurance, reliability, and responsiveness, while tangibles show the weakest effect. These findings highlight the primacy of human-contact factors—attentiveness, credibility, and individualized care in shaping satisfaction within hospitality settings, while signaling improvement opportunities in physical cues and facilities. Managerially, the hotel should sustain strengths in empathy and assurance (e.g., staff sensitivity, clear guarantees, consistent fulfillment of promises) and systematically uplift tangibles through visible quality cues, facility upkeep, and amenity standards. The study contributes firm-level evidence to the hospitality literature by clarifying the relative weights of SERVQUAL dimensions for satisfaction and by underscoring that people-centric capabilities remain decisive even when tangible attributes lag.
