ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AMONG GRADUATES OF THE HIGHER INSTITUTE OF SPORT AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF GAFSA
Abstract
: Tunisia is among the third world countries which suffer from an acute economic crisis, characterized mainly by saturation at the level of the public service. In spite of this, the four Higher Institutes of Sport and Physical Education in Tunisia continue to produce unemployed graduates. On the other hand, entrepreneurship in the field of sport can be a solution to this economic quagmire. Indeed, the objective of this article is to evaluate the entrepreneurial intention among graduates of the Higher Institute of Sport and Physical Education of Gafsa and understand the facilitating conditions for business creation. This paper constitutes a quantitative study through a questionnaire administered face to face to 100 graduates in question. This questionnaire is composed of multiple choice closed-ended questions on a five-point Likert scale. It has three main axes: the profile, the entrepreneurial intention, and the issues related to entrepreneurship. The statistical analysis is verified using SPSS 16 software using several tests such as: the adjustment or adequacy test, the independence test and the chi-square homogeneity test. The results of our study show that there is an intention towards landing private careers, fuelled by a positive attitude, an ambitious perception, and an influence from the entourage. On the other hand, several obstacles can also be found in the process of business creation, most notably red tape. Thus, teaching of entrepreneurship at the university takes on a whole new meaning and constitutes a strategic desire to mobilize higher education for sustainable economic solutions.
