As the productive generation, students in university taking an essential role to this situation. University students as agents of change in society must be able to innovate, creative and dynamic in finding alternate solutions in facing challenges.

One of the reasons caused by the lack of self-confidence in dealing with stressful situations and not a type of risk taker. This is known as self-efficacy. This study involved 110 students with quantitative methods and utilized two Likert scales as research instruments, namely the self-efficacy scale (Bandura, 1997) and the entrepreneurial intention scale (Pintrich & Schunk, 1996). The results showed that during the covid-10 pandemic, university student entrepreneurial interest was significantly influenced by self-efficacy (p<0.01) with an effective contribution of 79.4%. Pearson correlation value score is 0.891 (p<0.01) which strengthen significant positive relationship between variables which imply that the higher self-efficacy, the higher entrepreneurial interest, especially during covid-19 pandemic period.

Abstrak: Efikasi diri dan minat entrepreneurship mahasiswa selama masa pandemi covid-19. Pandemi covid-19 telah meningkatkan angka pengangguran di Indonesia. Sebanyak 6.4 juta orang karyawan dirumahkan hingga bulan oktober 2020 semenjak pandemi terjadi. Entrepreneurship menjadi salah satu solusi dalam mengatasi pengangguran. Sebagai generasi produktif, mahasiswa memegang peranan penting dalam situasi ini. Mahasiswa sebagai agent of change di tengah masyarakat harus mampu berinovasi, kreatif dan dinamis dalam menemukan solusi dalam menghadapi tantangan. Tantangan terbesar mahasiswa adalah menjadi job creator dan tidak sekedar job seeker setelah lulus. Saat ini minat entrepreneurship mahasiswa masih rendah yaitu hanya 2% dari total penduduk di Indonesia. Salah satu sebab rendahnya minat entrepreneurship mahasiswa adalah karena kurangnya keyakinan diri dalam menghadapi situasi menekan dan tidak senang mengambil resiko. Hal ini dikenal dengan efikasi diri. Penelitian ini melibat 110 mahasiswa dengan metode kuantitatif dan menggunakan dua skala likert sebagai instrumen penelitian yaitu skala efikasi diri (Bandura, 1997) dan skala minat entrepreneurship (Pintrich & Schunk, 1996). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa selama pandemi covid-10 minat entrepreneurship mahasiswa secara signifikan dipengaruhi oleh efikasi diri (p<0.01) dengan besar sumbangan efektif sebesar 79.4%. Hasil korelasi pearson menunjukan skor positif 0.891 yang menguatkan adanya hubungan positif antar variabel sehingga semakin tinggi efikasi diri mahasiswa maka semakin tinggi pula minat entrepreneur mahasiswa.
