The Influence of Risk-Taking Courage, Self-Efficacy and Creativity on Entrepreneurial Interests in Vocational High School Students in Takalar District
Abstract
Objective: This study examines the influence of risk-taking courage, self-efficacy, and creativity on entrepreneurial interest among agricultural vocational school students in Takalar District. Although students possess adequate technical competencies, their entrepreneurial interest remains low, indicating the need to strengthen core entrepreneurial attributes. Method: A quantitative ex post facto design was employed. The sample was selected using proportional random sampling, and data were collected through valid and reliable questionnaires. Analysis was conducted using R-Language for assumption testing, simple regression, and multiple regression to ensure analytical precision and reproducibility. Results: The findings show that risk-taking courage, self-efficacy, and creativity each have a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial interest, contributing 30%, 30.7%, and 32% respectively. Simultaneously, the three variables explain 47.7% of the variance in entrepreneurial interest. These results confirm the importance of psychological and creative attributes in strengthening students’ readiness for entrepreneurship. Novelty: This study emphasizes the role of entrepreneurial attributes in vocational education and demonstrates the use of R-Language for more rigorous diagnostic testing and reproducible regression analysis compared to conventional statistical software.
