Comparative Analysis of Agricultural Entrepreneurship Intentions from a Gender Perspective

Abstract

Every gender has the right to have the same role in making business happen. In this case, the role of women in the development of the agricultural sector and the Indonesian economy is crucial, not only for men. Business in the agricultural sector is essential to improve in Indonesia. Indonesia is an agricultural country with abundant natural resources. This is a significant potential for Indonesia to develop business in the agricultural sector. The intention of entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector plays a significant role in increasing the entrepreneurial population in the agricultural sector. It is crucial in this study to analyze the factors that influence entrepreneurial intentions in the agricultural sector for men and women. Comparative analysis of entrepreneurial intentions through a gender perspective is the main objective of this study. The collection of data was carried out using a questionnaire, providing respondents with a list of questions via an online questionnaire. Young farmers supported by the Ministry of Agriculture were the respondents in the report. The number of respondents to the study is 190 taken by the census. The data that has been collected is then analyzed quantitatively and with a descriptive approach. Quantitative analysis was performed using a structural equation model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Based on the data processing results, it was found that only for male entrepreneurs did ATB have a significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions in the agricultural sector. For male and female entrepreneurs, PBC has no significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions in the agricultural sector. For male and female entrepreneurs, the subjective standard has a significant influence on entrepreneurial intentions in the agricultural sector.
