Lydiawati Soelaiman earned her Doctor of Management degree by defending her dissertation entitled “The Influence of Innovative Behavior, Academic Support, Learning Process and Self-Efficacy on Technopreneurship Intention of Generation Z Students Mediated by Entrepreneurial Culture at Universities in Jakarta and Bandung”, Monday (24/6) at Campus I Untar.

Lydiawati successfully defended her dissertation in an open examination in front of a team of examiners consisting of Session Chair Prof. Dr. Ir.

Dyah Erny Herwindiati, M.Si., Assistant Promoter Prof. Dr. Otto Randa Payangan, S.E., M.Si., Internal Examiner Prof. Ir. Carunia Mulya Firdausy, M.ADE, Ph.D., and External Examiner Prof. Dr. Christina Whidya Utami, M.M., CLC, CPM.

This research departs from Indonesia which will reach a demographic bonus in 2045 so that the existence of technopreneurship can optimize Indonesia’s demographic potential and prepare the country for a sustainable and prosperous future.

The results of the study stated that generation Z students still have doubts about engaging in technopreneurship activities. “The biggest contribution that affects technopreneurship intention is entrepreneurial culture. This emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurial culture mediation to measure entrepreneurial intention,” he said.
