Abstract

In Malaysia, entrepreneurship has been viewed as one of the active economic activities, which could boost the growth of nation and develop the individuals. However, the interest in entrepreneurship among Malaysian students is still low, where most of them prefer to be “job seeker” or “employee” instead of “job creator”. The role of education, generally, has been recognized as a crucial process in developing individuals by providing knowledge and skills. In order to support the creation of new venture among nascent entrepreneur, entrepreneurship education is viewed as crucial element that can encourage this happening which could help to reduce unemployment rate. The impact of social intelligence could be one of the crucial variables to be studied in order to predict the entrepreneurial intention among the students. Hence, this study examined the mediating effect of entrepreneurship motivation on the relationship between the variables. The study found there is a significant mediating effect of motivation on the relationship between education and entrepreneurial intention, but there is no significant mediating effect on the relationship between social intelligence and entrepreneurial intention. This paper discussed the implications and recommendations as well.

创业意向:社会智力重要吗?

在马来西亚，创业被视为一种活跃的经济活动，它可以促进国家的发展和个人的发展。然而，马来西亚学生对创业的兴趣仍然很低，他们中的大多数人更愿意成为“求职者”或“雇员”，而不是“创造者”。教育的作用一般被认为是通过提供知识和技能来发展个人的关键过程。为了支持新生企业家创建新的企业，创业教育被视为可以鼓励这种情况发生的关键因素，这有助于降低失业率。社会智力的影响是预测大学生创业意向的重要变量之一。因此，本研究考察了创业动机对变量间关系的中介作用。研究发现，动机在学历与创业意向之间存在显著的中介作用，而在社会智力与创业意向之间不存在显著的中介作用。本文还讨论了研究的意义和建议。
