Abstract

This study investigates the influence of family-related factors on individuals' entrepreneurial intentions. The study employs a quantitative approach to test these hypotheses, utilizing survey data collected from a diverse sample of potential entrepreneurs. Through statistical analysis, we assess the strength and nature of the relationships between family values, family support, and entrepreneurial intentions. Our findings are expected to provide valuable insights into the role of family in fostering entrepreneurial mindsets. This research has potential implications for entrepreneurship education, policy-making, and family-based interventions aimed at promoting entrepreneurship.
