Abstract
The study seeks to explore the connection between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial attitude. Conducted at Tacurong National High School, it involved 148 Home Economics students as respondents. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed using a quantitative approach and purposive sampling technique. The survey questionnaire was adapted and contextualized to fit the study’s respondents. Mean, Pearson r, and Multiple Regression were utilized to analyze entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions. Findings revealed that Home Economics students demonstrated a high level of entrepreneurial intention, with career commitment as the most dominant factor. Their entrepreneurial attitude was also notably high, primarily influenced by instrumental motivation. A significant relationship was identified between entrepreneurial intention and attitude, emphasizing their strong connection. Furthermore, career commitment and instrumental attitude emerged as key factors shaping students’ entrepreneurial mindset. Ultimately, this study supports students in developing a strong entrepreneurial mindset, enhancing their motivation, confidence, and readiness for future business endeavors.
