Abstract:

This study aims to test the model whether entrepreneurial competence, Islamic work ethic and local wisdom have a positive influence on entrepreneurial intentions of ultra micro entrepreneurs at Desapolitan in Klaten Regency. The research design was carried out using a quantitative method which explains the causal relationship between one dependent variable which is influenced by three independent variables. Hypothesis testing is formulated in the model using the multivariate test. The population in the research were all Desa politan entrepreneurs in the Klaten Regency area who had started the initial ultra-micro business. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling as many as 40 respondents as initial business actors.

The final result of the quantitative model test using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) shows that there is a positive influence on Islamic work ethic and local wisdom on entrepreneurial intentions. Meanwhile, one variable in the form of entrepreneurial competence does not significantly influence it. Future research can expand the model through testing the antecedents of intention to behavior by developing research designs through experimental research.
