Abstract

The present research aimed at determining the effect of locus of control and tolerance of ambiguity on entrepreneurial intention. To analyze the data, the explanatory survey method was used. The research sample was taken from UPI (Indonesia University of Education) students as the population. The research population, by using the Isaac and Michael formula, was UPI students with a sample size of 377 respondents. The data were collected using a numerically scaled questionnaire. The data processing technique employed regression analysis intending to know the effect of the locus of control variable and tolerance of ambiguity upon entrepreneurial intention. The results showed that locus of control and tolerance of ambiguity had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. It is recommended to increase the indicator of the locus of the control variable, namely doing business. The variable can be improved by fostering prospective student entrepreneurs by using business incubators. The indicator that needs to be improved from the tolerance of ambiguity variable is to identify alternatives. It can be improved by increasing business opportunities through entrepreneurship lectures. In addition, the indicators of entrepreneurial intentions can be improved by planning to start a business through business feasibility analysis in entrepreneurship lectures in universities.
