Abstract


Getting a job has become very competitive in the era of Society 5.0. Many graduates did not get a job as soon as they graduated. Thus, students should be aware that they must try other opportunities rather than only apply for being employees. Entrepreneurship can be one of the solutions to the current situation. For that reason, universities, as agents of change, should play an essential role in building students’ entrepreneurial behavior and facilitating students’ entrepreneurial competencies. It is essential to acknowledge the influencing factors of fostering students’ entrepreneurial behavior. Therefore, this study investigated factors that influence university students’ entrepreneurial behavior. This study used a qualitative design by doing in-depth interviews with 4 students of Jambi University who have already run their own businesses. The findings showed that self-motivation, social support (from parents, friends, and team members), capital support, facilities and infrastructure, knowledge, and visionary and creative ideas are factors that influence entrepreneurial behavior.
