Abstract

Malaysia as a developing country encourages youth to get involved in entrepreneurship and make it as a career of choice. However, not many Malaysians pursue the entrepreneurship opportunities provided by the Government for them. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the differences in background and entrepreneurial inclination of secondary school students using quantitative methods. A total of 161 Form 4 students who are involved in entrepreneurship clubs from 16 secondary schools around the State of Terengganu were selected to be the respondents of this study. The data of this study were analyzed using SPSS software. This study found that the majority (79.5 percent) of respondents have moderate entrepreneurship knowledge. Furthermore, this study found that the majority (61.5 percent) of respondents have skills and (57.8 percent) entrepreneurial inclination at a high level. Beside that, this study found that there were significant differences in entrepreneurship skills between respondents and their career choice. Consequently the study also found that there were significant differences between entrepreneurial inclination and career choice, activity in the club and place of business. The findings of this study can be used as a reference for all parties, especially the Government in increasing the number of young entrepreneurs. The existence of entrepreneurship club is an important foundation in the effort to prepare students towards entrepreneurship as a career and in turn produce young entrepreneurs in the future.
