How Attitude, Social Norms, and Perceive Behavioral Control Impact Entrepreneurial Intention with Additional Characteristics of Migration Background from Central/East Java

Indonesia currently possesses the third fastest growing economy among the G20 economies, but it has shown recent problems with Wealth Distribution issues based on its GINI number, which has been growing during the presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Indonesia's status has also been stuck in a lower middle-income country for 13 years, based on data from 2018 (Lumbangaol & Pasaribu, 2018). Much of the wealth is located in big cities such as Jakarta. But every year, we do see the phenomena of wealth distribution that happen during Idul Fitr / EID Mubarak / EID Al Fitr. The year 2023 marked the largest number of mudik ever, with the number predicted to be 123.8 million people moving to their family origin location (kominfo, 2023). This is almost half of the population of Indonesia (45.8%). This study intends to study the migration background/migration trait and use it as a comparison characteristic in the Theory of Planned Behaviour with the Independent Variable of Attitude, Social Norms, and Perceived Behavioural Control and the dependent variable of Entrepreneur Intention. Data was gathered using questionnaires from previous research and then processed by SPSS and SEMPLS to quantitatively test the hypotheses. 144 respondents from the JABODETABEK area participated in the research. The hypotheses tested are that Migration Trait has a moderating effect on Entrepreneur Intention. The study result did not show the effect of migration traits on moderating the effect of attitude, social norms, and perceived behavioural control on entrepreneurial intention. The result can become a base for further study in this area.
