Entrepreneurial readiness of Vietnamese pedagogical student females

Abstract

The number of students in Vietnam who start their own businesses is on the rise; therefore, it is necessary to conduct this research in order to determine the factors that influence the preparation of female students for business ownership and management. The study participants were selected using a technique known as convenience sampling. In July and August of 2021, the required data collection for the analysis occurred. Two hundred forty-four female students attending one of four institutions in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, filled out the questionnaire. According to the findings of this study, academic year, major, and parental business license did not significantly impact female students' entrepreneurial preparedness. A further reality is that a person's readiness to engage in entrepreneurial activity was impacted by their knowledge of entrepreneurship, social norms, and behavioral control. There were differences in the ways in which criteria associated with permanent residences, such as central, province, and district, influence the entrepreneurial readiness of female students. The key finding highlights that characteristics significantly influence female students' readiness for entrepreneurship, distinguishing the impact of demographic factors on this preparedness. The outcomes offer valuable insights for female college students aspiring to become entrepreneurs and underscore the importance of further research to assess entrepreneurial readiness among Vietnamese students comprehensively.
