Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the impact of Holland’s theory of career choice (RIASEC [realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising and conventional]) on the entrepreneurial event model (EEM) and the agropreneurial intention among university students.

Design/methodology/approach

This study is quantitative research, and 772 undergraduate students from public and private universities in Malaysia participated. The data were then analysed using SmartPLS 4.

Findings

The statistical analysis revealed that the realistic, artistic, enterprising and conventional in Holland’s theory of career choice (RIASEC) are antecedents of perceived desirability and feasibility, which has an indirect effect on agropreneurial intention. Additionally, all dimensions of EEM have a direct effect on agropreneurial intention.

Originality/value

Despite the importance of agriculture in providing food security and reducing poverty, especially in rural areas, there is very limited empirical research in this area. Notably, most of the research on the intention to become an entrepreneur is general entrepreneurship. This study, therefore, undertakes an interventionist role to investigate the factors influencing agropreneurial intention among youth.

职业兴趣和创业事件模型在农业创业意向中的作用

目的本研究旨在探讨荷兰职业选择理论（RIASEC[现实、调查、艺术、社会、进取和传统]）对大学生创业事件模型（EEM）和农业创业意向的影响。研究结果统计分析显示，荷兰职业选择理论（RIASEC）中的现实性、艺术性、进取性和传统性是感知可取性和可行性的前因，而感知可取性和可行性对农业创业意向有间接影响。此外，EEM 的所有维度都对农业创业意向有直接影响。原创性/价值尽管农业在提供粮食安全和减少贫困（尤其是在农村地区）方面非常重要，但该领域的实证研究却非常有限。值得注意的是，大多数关于创业意向的研究都是关于一般创业的。因此，本研究将发挥干预作用，调查影响青年农业创业意向的因素。
