摘要

青年毕业生的创业是缓解失业挑战的基础,而大学在培养创业行为方面的作用被认为是非常重要的。因此,本研究旨在评估坦桑尼亚姆万扎天主教卫生与相关科学大学本科生的创业特征和意向。这项横断面描述性研究于2021年5月在天主教卫生与相关科学大学进行。采用分层随机抽样法抽取大学生331名(331名)。采用预测半结构化问卷收集原始数据。数据输入到Microsoft excel中,然后导出到STATA version 14进行分析,数据以频率、百分比和平均值表示。大学生创业特质水平中等,总体均值为3.6。大多数(285人,86.1%)的学生认为自己有能力开办并维持一家企业并取得成功,这反映出积极的可行性,并认为自己是愿意按照个人决定行事的人。受访者表示创业意向的主要激励因素是“个人创造力偏好”(295人,89.1%)。然而,受访者认为创业的主要障碍是“缺乏启动资金”(268,90%)。本研究表明,大学生创业特质总体上处于中等水平。调查结果表明,学生们有很高的意愿,也有兴趣成为企业家。

Assessment of Entrepreneurial Traits and Intention among Undergraduate Students at Catholic University of Health and Allied sciences -Mwanza, Tanzania
Entrepreneurship of young graduates is fundamental in mitigating the challenge of unemployment, while the role of universities is considered to be very important in developing entrepreneurial behavior. Thus, the present study aims to assess entrepreneurial traits and intention among undergraduate students at Catholic University of Health and Allied sciences -Mwanza, Tanzania. The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in May 2021 at Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences. Three hundred and thirty-one (331) undergraduates were selected by stratified random sampling. Pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Data were fed into Microsoft excel and then exported to STATA version 14 for analysis and data were presented in frequencies, percentages and mean. The level of entrepreneurial traits of the students was moderate with overall mean of 3.6. Majority (285, 86.1%) of students thought of themselves as capable of opening and sustaining a business to success, reflecting positive feasibility and perceived themselves as people who willingly act on their individual decisions.The major motivating factor for entrepreneurial intention indicated by the respondents was “preference for personal creativity” (295, 89.1%). However, the major perceived barrier to starting their own businesses indicated by the respondents was “lack of funds to start” (268, 90%). This study showed that there was overall moderate level of entrepreneurial traits among the undergraduate students. The findings have shown that there is high intention and that students are interested to become entrepreneurs.

期刊介绍: South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases (SAJBMC) is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual journal of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida (India). The journal aims to provide a space for high-quality original research or analytical cases, evidence-based case studies, comparative studies on industry sectors, products, and practical applications of management concepts. The journal likes to publish problem-solving, decisional and applied types of cases. Such cases must have linkage with theory, at least one dilemma (also known as case issue) and a protagonist around whom the case issue will revolve. Publication of pure research, applied research and field studies with empirical data do not fall under the domain of SAJBMC. Fictitious cases are not welcome.
