THE EFFECT OF WORKSHOP AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP LEARNING, AND ECONOMIC LITERACY ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION WITH SELF-EFFICACY AS A MEDIATING VARIABLE IN SMAN STUDENTS IN CIRACAS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Craft and Entrepreneurship learning variables and economic literacy on entrepreneurial intentions, with self-efficacy as a mediating variable in high school students in Ciracas, East Jakarta. The background of this study is based on the low entrepreneurial intentions of students based on the results of a pre-survey, as well as the high unemployment rate of high school/vocational high school graduates. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to eleventh-grade students from three schools, namely SMAN 99, SMAN 58, and SMAN 105 Jakarta. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results show that Craft and Entrepreneurship learning and economic literacy have a positive effect on self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. Self-efficacy is also proven to be a significant partial mediating variable in the relationship between the two independent variables and entrepreneurial intentions. This study recommends the importance of strengthening entrepreneurship education and increasing economic literacy in schools to build self-confidence and an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age in students.
