Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of income expectations, family environment, and comprehension of entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial interest in students of the faculty of economics state university of Jakarta. The research method used is a survey with a quantitative approach. The population of this study were 240 students of the Faculty of Economics class of 2020, with a sample of 55 people. The research instrument was a questionnaire with 114 questions, which after being tested for validity and reliability resulted in 109 valid questions and 5 invalid questions. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression to test the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. The results showed that income expectations and comprehension of entrepreneurship have a positive and significant influence on students' entrepreneurial interest, with income expectations as the variable with the greatest influence (β = 0. 823, p < 0.05). In contrast, family environment does not show a significant influence on entrepreneurial interest (β = 0.060, p > 0.05). The F test indicated that the overall regression model was significant, with a calculated F value of 213.571 (p < 0.05) and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.732, indicating that 73.2% of the variation in entrepreneurial interest can be explained by the three independent variables. The conclusion of this study is that income expectations and comprehension of entrepreneurship are important factors influencing students' entrepreneurial interest, while family environment has no significant effect. These findings highlight the importance of developing realistic and positive income expectations, as well as strengthening entrepreneurship education programs to increase entrepreneurial interest among university students.
