Description
Summary:The 21st century demands continuity between entrepreneurial leadership and entrepreneurs, which is an added value trait that can create student entrepreneurial leaders that are self-disciplined, innovative in making decisions, have self-confidence, and have a positive mindset. However, even though entrepreneurial education has been present in the school systems for an extended period, studies show a worrying trend, as 86% of school students with entrepreneurial education backgrounds are disinterested in entrepreneurship. Thus, this study examines factors related to entrepreneurial leadership in higher institutions of Malaysia. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, a quantitative analysis was carried out. A questionnaire conducted via Google Forms was utilised to collect data from the study's sample of 310 entrepreneurial students at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 26 and the results were collected through descriptive analysis, validity and reliability tests, normality tests, pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression. The study's findings reveal how strategic, communication, personality, motivational, and educational factors might affect entrepreneurial leadership in Malaysian higher education institutions. Education (52.3%) makes the most contribution to entrepreneurial leadership. Through this study, researchers can help student entrepreneurs determine whether they will use entrepreneurial leadership factors to develop or expand their business intentions. Prospective scholars should conduct their research in all IPTA and IPTS in Malaysia to increase the sample size in obtaining more convincing findings.
