Overview

Comparative analysis reveals no significant difference in entrepreneurial motivation between public and private university students in Nigeria, indicating the need for better intrinsic motivation.

Key Points

  • No significant difference in entrepreneurial motivation was found between students from public and private universities.
  • The analysis involved 3542 students from selected universities across Ogun, Osun, and Oyo States, highlighting key factors like socio-cultural influence.
  • A survey research design with descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the constructs of entrepreneurial motivation.
  • Despite similar motivation levels, fostering greater intrinsic motivation in private university students is essential for enhancing entrepreneurship.
