Exploring the Entrepreneurial Landscape in Oman: Discovery of Students' Awareness of the Government and Its Support System's Role in Fostering Entrepreneurship in Oman.

Year 2024, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 17 - 33

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to assess students' awareness of the government and its support structure’s role in promoting entrepreneurship in Oman. This study uses a deductive and quantitative approach. Besides, a descriptive research approach was utilised because it describes the features of the population or topic under study. Moreover, the purposive sampling approach, which utilises non-probability sampling, was chosen as the sampling strategy. The sample was selected on the basis of the researcher's expertise and skills. In this study, a questionnaire developed by Venesaar (2014) was used with adjustments made to ensure validity and reliability. Since all values are greater than 0.05, there is no significant relationship between family income, father's occupation, education, study programme, and students’ awareness of the government and its support structure’s role in promoting entrepreneurship in Oman. The highest mean score for the government's role and its support structures to promote entrepreneurship in Oman was 'Lack of support and encouragement by authorities is affecting youth entrepreneurial activity (4.33).' Lack of support and encouragement by authorities is affecting youth entrepreneurial activity (0.791), which was significantly loaded into the first element of the ROTATED COMPONENT MATRIX: I have good social networks that can be utilised when I decide to be an entrepreneur (0.810), but I do not have the appropriate technical and practical skills to start my own business (0.875), which are loaded as the second and third highest items in factor analysis.
