next higher mean is for Social connections that is 3.8285 and the inter response
variability is also bit lower than that of Education Environment.
Table 4.4 (See Appendix 1)
The overall results of the barriers as indicated by Table 4.4 are also same as the results of
support factors are. The mean for Difficulty of Finding Creative Business Idea and
Difficulty of Obtaining Information seem to be having neutral effect as they are very near
to score 3 which is marked as don‘t know in the questionnaire. Political Instability mean
show that business students agree that Political instability causes the spoilage of
entrepreneurial potential in the country. The variable of Difficulty of Obtaining the Initial
Capital Investment also have a score more than 3 that show that this barrier is significant
to the students as for as the mean is concerned. There also is variability of responses in
barriers as indicated by the standard deviation. On the average as indicated by average
barrier score the mean value is 3.3565 which show that on the average students somewhat
agree that these barriers affect their entrepreneurial intentions to some extent. The inter
score variability for the average of barriers is also much lower.
4.2. Correlation Statistics
Table 4.5 (See Appendix 1)
The correlation results in Table 4.5 show that there is no significant relationship between
Entrepreneurial intentions and any of the support factors along with their average. Thus
we reject H1 that there exist a positive relationship between support factors and
entrepreneurial intentions of business students. However, all support factors seem to
correlate with each other, at significance level 0.01. The relationships seem to be weak as
indicated by the on average 0.3 score of the correlations. The correlation results for
barriers and entrepreneurial intentions are as follows:
Table 4.6 (See Appendix 1)
Entrepreneurial intention, as was the case with support factors do not correlate with any
of the barriers significantly. Thus we reject H2 that there is negative relationship between
barriers and entrepreneurial intentions of business students. But some of the barriers seem
to correlate with each other as Variable of Difficulty of Finding Business Idea
significantly correlates with Difficulty of Finding Information and Difficulty of
Obtaining Initial Capital investment. Moreover, the variable of Difficulty of Finding
Information is weakly correlated with Difficulty of Obtaining Initial Capital investment
with a correlation score of .214. A somewhat moderate but significant relationship can
also be observed between variables of Difficulty of Obtaining Initial Capital investment
and Political Instability.
