Analysis of Factors Affecting The Self-Efficacy of Entrepreneurs in The Young Agricultural Entrepreneur Development Program (PWMP) at The Agricultural Development Polytechnic of Medan
The Ministry of Agriculture is committed to producing millennial farmers to regenerate farmers in Indonesia. The Young Agricultural Entrepreneur Development Program (PWMP) invites the younger generation to choose a profession as a young entrepreneur in the agricultural sector. One of the determining factors for a person's success in doing something is self-confidence or self-efficacy. Self-confidence or self-efficacy is a person's belief in their ability to do and complete something. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the self-efficacy of entrepreneurs in the PWMP Program at Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Medan. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research method. The population of this study was 185 entrepreneurs with a purposive sampling determination of 75 entrepreneurs. The data collection technique in this study was interviews and questionnaires. The data analysis technique used a Likert scale and multiple linear regression tests. The results showed that the self-efficacy of entrepreneurs in the PWMP Program was relatively low, namely 46.97 percent. The lowest self-efficacy indicator is the belief in completing various tasks and responsibilities in managing their business at 46.52 percent. The results of multiple linear regression tests show that entrepreneurial experience and business turnover have a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Age factors do not have a significant effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. For entrepreneurial self-efficacy to increase, entrepreneurial experience is needed. In addition, it is necessary to provide special material on strategies for increasing business turnover in the implementation of Technical Guidance for PWMP Program participants.
