Abstract

Low entrepreneurial drive among high schoolers intensifies their reliance on formal career options. This quantitative study maps out the dynamics of self-efficacy, entrepreneurial knowledge, and family environments on student business interests, utilizing motivation as an intervening variable. Observing a sample of 207 twelfth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Bergas, raw metrics gathered via surveys were evaluated through path analysis and the Sobel test. The empirical outcomes demonstrate that self-confidence, business insights, and domestic surroundings exert a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial motivation. Furthermore, self-efficacy, family conditions, and personal motivation strongly govern students' entrepreneurial interest. Conversely, business knowledge yields no significant direct relationship with entrepreneurial intent. The mediation diagnostic establishes that motivation fully intervenes in the link between educational knowledge and business interest, though it fails to mediate self-efficacy or family pathways. These field insights conclude that teaching entrepreneurial concepts only triggers actual business interest when it successfully stimulates deep internal motivation within students.
