Abstract

Family entrepreneurship is considered to be one of the oldest and most widespread forms of organizational and economic endeavors. A family business has multiple advantages and contributes significantly to the overall economy of a country. That is why entrepreneurial education has a great impact on creating new entrepreneurial potentials. This paper presents an examination of the attitudes of the student population of the Technical Faculty in Bor towards the family business in the three year period, namely in 2012, 2022 and 2023. The questions are grouped into five groups of motives for initiating one's own business or continuing a family business: (1) Locus of control, (2) Entrepreneurial self-efficacy, (3) Independence motive, (4) Innovative motive and (5) Motivation to develop own business. The results show that in the three observed periods Independence motives and Innovation motives had similar average values, while the remaining three motives Locus of Control, Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Growth Motivation had low average values in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, while the values of these three motives increased in 2023.
