equation model (SEM.)
The result from AMOS statistical software has shown the important of inspiration and
mentor system were rated at high level, while the entrepreneur’s characteristic and intensions
were rated at medium level. Moreover the consistency index of the structural eausal relationship
model has conformed to the empirical date, where χ2 = 165.153, df = 1.46, χ2 / df = 1.18,
GFI = .942, CFI = .987, RMR= .019, RMSEA = .023.
The results of hypothesis testing showed that Inspiration has a direct influence on the
entrepreneur’s characteristic, path coefficient value equal to .72. Entrepreneur’s characteristic
had direct effect toward entrepreneurial intentions, path coefficient value equal to .61, follow by
inspiration had direct effect toward the mentoring system mechanisms, path coefficient value equal
to .59, the mentoring system had direct effect toward entrepreneur’s characteristic, path coefficient
value equal to .18, and the mentoring system had direct effect toward entrepreneurial intentions,
path coefficient value equal to .17. Model entrepreneurial intentions of students vocational in
education for enterprise incubator project up to inspiration and entrepreneur’s characteristic,
