Abstract
Entrepreneurship is critical to a nation's economic advancement. In order to increase the number of entrepreneurs, it is crucial to comprehend the significance of self-efficacy and entrepreneurial attitudes. This study aims to ascertain the impact of self-efficacy on the entrepreneurial attitudes and ambitions of Generation Z Jepara. This study also investigates how entrepreneurial mindsets influence entrepreneurial inclinations in Generation Z. The population for this study consists of individuals from Jepara's Generation Z, specifically those aged between 20 and 29 years, totalling 187,352 people. The study used a survey design with a purposive sample of 384 Generation Z individuals from Jepara, selected using the Slovin method. The study employed structural equation modelling with partial least squares (SEM-PLS) to assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The study's findings indicate that entrepreneurial self-efficacy strongly influences entrepreneurial intention in Generation Z. Furthermore, this study's results demonstrate that entrepreneurial self-efficacy positively impacts Generation Z's entrepreneurial attitude. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intention, and attitude towards entrepreneurship, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy acting as an intervening variable.
