Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the global world of work, raising important questions about how younger generations perceive its impact on their future careers. This study investigates the perceptions of Generation Y (Gen Y) and Generation Z (Gen Z) university students toward AI and its influence on employment opportunities. A quantitative survey was conducted with 150 respondents from universities in China and Malaysia, focusing on two key variables: AI awareness and perceptions of employment prospects. The results reveal that both cohorts generally demonstrate positive levels of awareness and optimistic attitudes toward AI. Notably, students’ attitudes were found to play a more significant role than awareness in shaping their views regarding AI’s potential effects on their future career opportunities. These findings underscore the importance of higher education institutions in enhancing AI literacy, cultivating adaptive mindsets, and integrating technology-oriented curricula to prepare students for the demands of an AI-driven labor market. By fostering proactive and confident engagement with emerging technologies, universities can empower future professionals to navigate challenges and leverage opportunities in the evolving digital economy.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the key challenges encountered by Malaysian university students in their entrepreneurial journey, identify the underlying causes, and propose practical recommendations for improvement. Employing a quantitative research design, the study surveyed 100 undergraduate students from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) through Google Forms. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial barriers predominantly arise from five major factors: aversion to stressed hard work, aversion to risk, fear of failure, lack of social networking, and lack of resources. These challenges reflect both individual limitations and structural constraints that hinder students’ entrepreneurial engagement and sustainability. Based on the analysis, the study suggests several measures to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems in higher education, including enhancing institutional support, optimizing access to funding, improving government policies and regulatory frameworks, and fostering an entrepreneurial culture on campus. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the entrepreneurial difficulties faced by university students in Malaysia and highlights the need for integrated efforts from universities, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to cultivate a more supportive environment for student entrepreneurship.
