Abstract

Slowing economic growth resulted in an increase in the number of unemployed. One solution to this problem is to create jobs by entrepreneurship. Education should be able to play a role in increasing the number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia. However, the low interest of students in entrepreneurship tends to make students as educated unemployed after graduating from college. To create graduates who have knowledge, interest, and entrepreneurial spirit is an important responsibility for universities. This study aims to analyze how the influence of self-efficacy and locus of control on entrepreneurial interest in North Sumatra University students. The influence between self-efficacy and locus of control will be analyzed partially and simultaneously on interest in entrepreneurship. The form of research used in this research is quantitative research with an associative approach. Sampling was done through purposive sampling technique and used 100 respondents as samples. The primary data used in this study was obtained by distributing questionnaires through google form, while the secondary data was obtained through literature study. The data analysis method used is validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing. The results of the research conducted indicate that the self-efficacy variable (X1) has a significant effect on the interest in entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, it is known that the locus of control (X2) significantly influences the interest in entrepreneurship (Y) and the self-efficacy and locus of control variables simultaneously (together) affect the interest in entrepreneurship. The coefficient of determination test shows that there is a fairly close relationship between selfefficacy and locus of control on the interest in entrepreneurship with an r value of 0.437. Through the adjusted r square value, it is also known that the self-efficacy and locus of control variables contribute 17.4% to the entrepreneurial interest variable while the remaining 82.6% is influenced by other variables not discussed in this study.
