| description | Eleventh Malaysia Plan, 2016-2020, focused more on macroeconomic policies,
create more jobs and highly skilled human resources. The national development agenda also
includes indigenous youth in Malaysia. Poverty was identified as the main challenge faced by
the government in developing the indigenous community youth. To solve this problem, the
government through the current economic plan is to focus attention on efforts to produce more
entrepreneurs among indigenous youth in Malaysia. However, the number of indigenous youth
entrepreneurs still low and most of the indigenous are still below the poverty line. Therefore,
this study aims to determine the factors that influence indigenous youth to become successful
entrepreneurs. This qualitative study participant were experts involved and directly related to
indigenous entrepreneurship in Malaysia. Participants in this study were selected to use
purposive sampling. The instrument of this study was the interview protocol, where the
researcher provided only the main question, and the follow-up question was based on the
interview participant's answer. The semi-structured interview data were analyzed using
thematic analysis, by demarcating interview data, coding, finding themes, revising themes,
defining and naming themes and generating reports. The study found that there are five main
factors that influence indigenous youth to become successful entrepreneurs, among them are
the demographic factors, suitable entrepreneurship and characteristics of entrepreneurs suitable
for indigenous youth, transferable skills and policy and financial assistance to expand
indigenous businesses. Therefore, it is expected that this study will provide guidance to the
parties concerned to increase the number of successful entrepreneurs among indigenous youth
in Malaysia. |
