Abstract

Many experts have studied entrepreneurship education and utilized it as a way to understand students’ entrepreneurship behavior. In theory, enterprenurs can be divided into entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. This study aims to compare the impact of having  entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs parents on their children’s entrepreneurship intention, attraction, and behavior. We applied the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and conducted a survey of 632 respondents in Jabodetabek. The data was then tested using Structural Equation Model (SEM) with AMOS program. We find that children of entrepreneur parents have high Perceived Behavior Control (PBC) while children of intrapreneur parents have no PBC. Meanwile parents who are intrapreneur provide higher attraction and attitude towards being enterpreneurs for their children in comparison to entrepreneur parents.
