Abstract

Unemployment is a major issue in Indonesia. This occurs because Indonesia is a country with a relatively high population growth rate, which affects the competition for job opportunities. One of the strategies considered effective in addressing unemployment is to create or increase the number of entrepreneurs. This study aims to determine the direct and indirect effects of social capital, managerial skills, technology literacy, and entrepreneurial motivation on entrepreneurial interest. The sampling technique used is Proportional Random Sampling, with a total of 100 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Negeri Makassar. The results indicate that both directly and indirectly, social capital, managerial skills, technology literacy, and entrepreneurial motivation significantly influence entrepreneurial interest. Based on the findings of this study, it can serve as a source of information or a reference for educators or lecturers to guide and assist students in developing entrepreneurial skills. Students are encouraged to deepen their skills related to business management, not only focusing on the products produced but also being capable of conducting marketing activities and making decisions regarding business evaluation with the aim of developing their businesses. Furthermore, future researchers are encouraged to deepen and expand this research in terms of variables and research method development.

Abstract

Entrepreneurial interest reflects an individual’s intention and willingness to engage in entrepreneurial activities, often driven by personal motivation and the courage to take calculated risks. Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2012, has grown up in the digital era, shaping their mindset and access to entrepreneurial opportunities. This study investigates the extent to which financial literacy, family environment, and love of money influence the entrepreneurial interest of Gen Z students, with entrepreneurial motivation acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative research approach was employed using primary data collected through questionnaires from 99 Gen Z students. Path analysis was conducted to test the proposed relationships. The findings reveal that financial literacy, family environment, and love of money each significantly influence entrepreneurial motivation, which in turn has a strong mediating effect on entrepreneurial interest. These results highlight the critical role of internal motivation in bridging cognitive, emotional, and contextual factors in the entrepreneurial decision-making process among Gen Z students. This study provides useful insights for educators and policymakers aiming to cultivate entrepreneurship among younger generations through targeted support in financial education, family engagement, and value orientation.
