Abstract

This study aims to examine the entrepreneurial orientation of students in the field of Physical and Sports Activities Sciences at the University of Oum El Bouaghi and identify the factors influencing their intention to establish their own businesses after graduation. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, and inferential approach was adopted to assess students’ entrepreneurial intentions and perceptions. Study Sample: The study involved a representative sample of students from various academic levels (Bachelor’s and Master’s) and specializations within the institute (39 students). Data Collection: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring entrepreneurial intention, social support, and motivational factors, including financial independence, role models, and labor market perceptions. Results: Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed among students in the field of Physical and Sports Activities Sciences at Larbi Ben M’hidi University according to gender, with male students showing a higher inclination toward establishing a private business compared to female students. No statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between students specializing in Physical Preparation and Sports Training and those in School Physical Activity regarding their willingness to establish a private business.
