Abstract

Entrepreneurship development is a key indicator of a country's economic growth, including in Indonesia, which has great potential in pesantren-based entrepreneurship development. This study is motivated by the importance of shaping students’ character to be both religious and independent through pesantren culture and motivation as the main factors in fostering entrepreneurial interest. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of pesantren culture and motivation on the entrepreneurial interest of students at Madinatul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Jember. This research uses a quantitative associative approach. The sample consists of 100 students selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression assisted by SPSS version 25. The results show that pesantren culture and motivation simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on students’ entrepreneurial interest. Partially, both variables also show significant influence. The coefficient of determination indicates a strong contribution of these two independent variables to entrepreneurial interest. The study concludes that pesantren culture, which instills values such as independence, discipline, and responsibility, as well as students' internal motivation, can enhance their interest in entrepreneurship. It is recommended that the pesantren management strengthen entrepreneurship programs through continuous training and habituation to shape students with strong entrepreneurial characters, Pesantren Culture; Motivation; Entrepreneurial Interest; Students; Entrepreneurship.
