Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between family values, coping strategies, family support, and student motivation. By using a quantitative approach, this study examines the relationship among a sample of university students in the field of entrepreneurship. Our findings revealed significant positive correlations between all three family-related factors and student motivation, with family values showing the strongest influence. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the role of families in educational outcomes and offers implications for educational policy and practice.
