<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurial interest and motivation on students' entrepreneurial readiness. A quantitative, ex post facto correlational design was used. The research subjects consisted of 74 students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), Lambung Mangkurat University (51 females and 23 males), who had completed an entrepreneurship course, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an online Likert-scale questionnaire tested for validity (product-moment correlation) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha), then analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. All instruments were found reliable (Alpha 0.948-0.974) and most items valid. The analysis produced the regression equation Y = 1.609 + 0.253X1 + 0.604X2, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.865, indicating that entrepreneurial interest and motivation jointly explain 86.5% of the variance in entrepreneurial readiness. The t-test results show that entrepreneurial interest (t = 2.628; Sig. = 0.011) and entrepreneurial motivation (t = 8.774; Sig. = 0.000) each have a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial readiness at the 0.05 significance level, with motivation showing a more dominant contribution. These findings emphasize the importance of applied entrepreneurship learning to foster students' interest and motivation so that their readiness to start a business continues to improve.]]>
