Abstract:
Women entrepreneurs are very popular in Malaysia. This study has been conducted in the state of Kelantan, bearing the reputation of being an entrepreneurial state and harbouring
the highest number of women entrepreneurs too. Recognizing the importance of the emerging women entrepreneurs in creating a vibrant and dynamic economy for the nation, the Malaysian
Government has been actively promoting women entrepreneurship towards realising Malaysia’s Vision 2020. However surprisingly, little research has been undertaken to determine the factors influencing inclination of women students towards entrepreneurship, particularly in Malaysia. The literature suggests that social psychological and educational institutes approaches are widely used to explore and analyze the relationship between the influence of women’s individual characteristics, internal motivation, parental influence, and their
business management acumen, business interest and willingness, goals and motives, networking and entrepreneurial orientation and inclination.
Keywords: Inclination,entrepreneurhip, women students
