DOES BUSINESS EDUCATION AFFECTS ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS? COMPARATIVE STUDY ON BUSINESS STUDENTS’ OCCUPATIONAL STATUS CHOICE (Case study of Mongolian University)

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education programs are to strengthen students’ management skills. We conducted the questionnaire survey about the attitude towards the self-employment (running own business). As a result, Business school’s students prefer to have their own business rather than employment in the organizations. Students who desire to have a job in organizations because of: (1) Social environment; (2) Stability (3) Career opportunity and students who desire to have a his/her own business because of: (1) Challenge; (2) Authority (3) Economic opportunity of running own business. From the comparative analysis, somehow business education affects the self-employment attitude during the study years in Business. We conclude some programs have influence the students’ self-employment attitude, and some haven’t influence that much.
