CHAPTER IV

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

In this chapter, the data gathered were presented in

textual and tabular form, analysed, and interpreted based on

the results of the computations.

Socio

Table 1 shows the respondent’s profile according to

their age. The findings revealed that 6 or 8.70% belonged to

the age of 17, 18 or 26.1% belonged to the age of 18, 27 or

39.1% belonged to the age 19, 9 or 13.04% belonged to the age

20, 4 or 5.80% belonged to the age of 21, 3 or 4.35% belonged

to the age of 22, and 1 or 1.45% belonged to the ages 25. It

was observed that the majority of the age of the respondents

belonged to 19 years old. Which implies that younger students

are more into business than those older once. This was

contrary to the study conducted by Da Costa and Mares, which

states that older students have higher entrepreneurial

intention than younger students. It shows the respondent’s

profile according to their sex. The number of female

respondents was 53 earning a percentage of 76.81%, and 16 or

23.19% was male. It has been observed that female population

of the respondents dominated the male respondents. It implies

 32

that females have higher entrepreneurial intentions than

males. It was also a contrary to study conducted by Da Costa

and Mares which states that male students have higher

entrepreneurial intention than females. It also shows the

respondent’s profile according to their work experience. The

findings revealed that 8 or 11.6% of the respondents have

more experienced in working, 3 or 4.3% have experienced

working, and 58 or 84.1% of the respondents did not have any

experience in working. It was observed that the majority of

the respondents does not have any working experience. It

implies that working experience does not affect the

entrepreneurial intention of the respondents. It was in lined

with the study of Da Costa and Mares which states that “work

experience does not affect the students’ intention to become

entrepreneurs.”

Table 2 shows the first factor, attitude toward

entrepreneurship, which influence the B.S Entrepreneurship

students. It was clearly observed that the statement number

4 which states that being an entrepreneur would entail great

satisfactions for me got the highest mean of 4.97, which

implies that being an entrepreneur will give the respondents

great satisfaction upon entering the world of business. It

was also observed that the statement number 5 which states

that among various options, I would rather be an entrepreneur

got the lowest mean of 4.08, which implies that even if

entrepreneurship attracts them as their career in the future,

there are still some who would rather choose other profession

than being an entrepreneur.

Table 2.1 shows the second factor, perceived behavioural

control, which influence the B.S Entrepreneurship students.

It was clearly observed that the statement number 4 which

states that I know the necessary practical details to start

a firm. Got the highest mean of 4.15, which implies that being

an entrepreneur student you must be knowledgeable of process

and details in starting up your own firm. It was also observed

that the statement number 1 which states that to start a firm

and keep it working would be easy for me got the lowest mean

of 4.08, which implies that some of the students are not yet

ready to start their own firm and keep it working

The table 2.2 shows the third factor, Entrepreneurial

Intensions, which influence the B.S Entrepreneurship

students. It was clearly observed that the statement number

1 which states I am ready to do anything to be an entrepreneur

got the highest mean of 4.72 which implies that the

respondents are ready to do anything to be an entrepreneur or

they are ready to take the risk to become a successful

entrepreneur. It was also observed that the statement number

2 which states my professional goal is to become an

entrepreneur got the lowest mean of 4.50 which implies that

not all of them are into entrepreneurs.

Test of Relationship of the Profile of the B.S.

Entrepreneurship Students and the Factors that Influence

them to become Entrepreneurs

To test the influence of profile of the B.S.

Entrepreneurship students and the factors that influence them

to become entrepreneurs, multiple regression analysis was

employed. Overall relationship shown in Table 3 resulted to

an R-value of 0.139 which is considered low relationship. The

R-square value of 0.19 means that 19 percent of the variance

in factors that influence the students to become

entrepreneurs. Result of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

showed an F-value of 0.427 with a significant value of 0.734

which is more than the 0.05 margin of error level (Table 4).

The null hypothesis therefore is accepted which means that

there is no statistically significant relationship between

the profile and the factors that influence the students. Sex,

Age and Working experience did not significantly influence

the factors of entrepreneurship that influence to the

students to become entrepreneurs having significant values

all greater than the 0.05 margin. These findings mean that

the attitude towards entrepreneurship does not affect the

profile of the respondents with regards in choosing

entrepreneurship as their future career.

To test the influence of profile of the B.S.

Entrepreneurship students and the factors that influence them

to become entrepreneurs, multiple regression analysis was

employed. Overall relationship shown in Table 6 resulted to

an R-value of 0.154 which is considered low relationship. The

R-square value of 0.024 means that 2.4 percent of the variance

in factors that influence the students to become

entrepreneurs. Result of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

showed an F-value of 0.523 with a significant value of 0.523

which is more than the 0.05 margin of error level (Table 7).

The null hypothesis therefore is accepted which means that

there is no statistically significant relationship between

the profile and the factors that influence the students. Sex,

Age and Working experience did not significantly influence

the factors of entrepreneurship that influence the students

to become entrepreneurs having significant values all greater
