Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intentions of youth in Cu Lao Dung district, Soc Trang province, through a survey of 150 young people. Descriptive statistics and multivariate data analysis methods (Cronbach's Alpha, EFA, and linear regression method) were employed. The results showed that 72% of young people had entrepreneurial intentions, primarily in the fields of online sales, food, and services. Through the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient, all initial observed variables of the six scales (except for variable DD5) were found to have high reliability and were used for EFA analysis. After conducting EFA, six factors with 22 observed variables explaining 75.98% of the total variance were extracted. The linear regression model showed that entrepreneurial intentions among the youth were influenced by various factors, including finance, personality traits, subjective norms, entrepreneurial attitude, education, and perceived behavioral control. Among these, finance was identified as the most significant barrier. The study also proposed several solutions to foster entrepreneurial intentions among youth in the future.
