Abstract

Entrepreneurial intentions play a crucial role in fostering economic growth and innovation, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study examines the influence of growth mindset, self-efficacy, and an innovative environment on entrepreneurial intentions, with achievement motivation functioning as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 135 respondents through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) was employed to analyze the data and evaluate both the direct and indirect relationships among variables. The results reveal that growth mindset, self-efficacy, and innovative environment significantly and positively influence entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, achievement motivation was found to play a crucial mediating role in strengthening the relationship between the three independent variables and entrepreneurial intentions. This indicates that individuals with a strong growth mindset, higher confidence in their abilities, and exposure to an innovation-supportive environment are more motivated to pursue entrepreneurial activities. The model demonstrated strong explanatory and predictive power, with R² values of 0.532 for achievement motivation and 0.614 for entrepreneurial intentions, suggesting that the variables collectively provide substantial contribution in predicting entrepreneurial behavior. These findings highlight the importance of psychological readiness, personal belief systems, and supportive environmental factors in shaping entrepreneurial aspirations in Indonesia. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial intention formation and offers practical implications for educators, policymakers, and entrepreneurship development institutions. Designing programs that strengthen mindset, build self-efficacy, enhance motivation, and cultivate innovation-oriented environments is essential for nurturing future entrepreneurs and supporting sustainable economic development.
