Abstract

The high unemployment rate among high school graduates (SMA) is a significant issue in Indonesia. Entrepreneurial intention is viewed as a potential solution to address the unemployment problem among these graduates. This study aims to analyze and conclude the direct and indirect influences of Entrepreneurship Education (X1) and Family Environment (X2) on Entrepreneurial Intention (Y), mediated by Self-Efficacy (Z). This research uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method via SmartPLS. The population for this study was Class XII IPS students at SMAN 19 Kota Bekasi, utilizing total sampling involving 107 respondents. The findings reveal several key results, Entrepreneurship Education (X1) and Family Environment (X2) were found to have a positive and significant influence on Self-Efficacy (Z), Self-Efficacy (Z) has a positive and significant influence on Entrepreneurial Intention (Y), and Entrepreneurship Education (X1) has a positive and significant influence on Entrepreneurial Intention (Y). However, Family Environment (X2) was found to have a positive but insignificant direct influence on Entrepreneurial Intention (Y). Significantly, Self-Efficacy (Z) fully mediates the influence of both Entrepreneurship Education (X1) and Family Environment (X2) on Entrepreneurial Intention (Y). This study concludes that Self-Efficacy plays a central role in fostering entrepreneurial intention among students at Class XII IPS SMAN 19 Kota Bekasi, both directly and as a mediator for educational and family factors.
