the reliability analysis shows a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.915, which is the validator of the entire scale, it was necessary to delete the “work productivity under continuous stress” variable from the scale in order to get a reliable scale. (See Table 1.15)
3.5 FINDING 4: REGRESSION
Considering the regression analysis, it is possible to determine that gender, major and status as international a domestic student are significant variables that affect the intention to become entrepreneur, while the variable postgraduate or undergraduate students is not significant to the question.
