Perceptions of the sustainable entrepreneurial intention of university students as picture for economic integration

Abstract

The domain of sustainable entrepreneurship has recently received great interest by many researchers, and this is due to the role it plays in sustainable economic development. Algeria has adopted a series of policies and programs to promote sustainable enterprises. Its success is linked to the awareness of emerging and potential entrepreneurs, particularly the contribution of the university in training and developing graduates, considered as the elite of the society. This research paper aims to measure the impact of personal perceptions of sustainable entrepreneurship on the intent of sustainable entrepreneurship. The study was conducted on a group of students who are about to graduate. The sample contained eighty-three (83) students from various disciplines of the university. It concluded that the perceptions of sustainable entrepreneurship have an impact on sustainable entrepreneurial intentions and that both the social and the environmental perceptions have a positive and statistically significant impact on sustainable entrepreneurial intention. However, the economic perception did not have a significant effect on the intention of sustainable enterprise.
