Abstract

Increasingly proportion of the community's demand for higher education, under the constraint of limited work opportunities, has created pressure for graduates of educational system. The dramatic changes in the conditions of gainful employment bring new developmental questions to the fore. Prominent among them is the attempt to gain a better understanding of entrepreneurial activities. In response to the challenge of unemployment, the first and most obvious need is to expand the creation of more jobs. ENTREPRENEURSHIP has widely been considered as a solution to economic and unemployment problems; and fundamental to the philosophy underpinning the entrepreneurial practice program is that the elements of ENTREPRENEURSHIP can be learned. Through education, it is possible to create the career prospects that provide initiatives for ENTREPRENEURSHIP. In determining the ENTREPRENEURSHIP concept, we are faced with ENTREPRENEURIAL CHARACTERISTICS, functions as well as different related activities. Among these, four characteristics of: NEED FOR ACHIEVEMENT, NEED FOR POWER, COMPETITIVENESS and RISK-TAKING behavior are considered to demand more attention. This study with the purpose of investigating entrepreneurial mentality - along with these characteristics - seeks to better understand training needs of STUDENTS at Agricultural College - Shiraz University. Descriptive research method and survey research approach were employed in the study. The population consisted of the STUDENTS at agricultural college (ten disciplines) - Shiraz University. Sampling procedure was stratified random sampling, respondents being selected from two strat a of: sophomores and seniors. The standard survey instrument was questionnaire composed of 4 scales, measuring: NEED FOR ACHIEVEMENT, NEED FOR POWER, competitive situation, and RISK-TAKING propensity. Face validity of the instrument was confirmed by experts and scales were subjected to reliability test, using data collected from the pilot study. Findings show that 39.8, 37.1, 51.2 and 49.4 percent of STUDENTS benefited from a low to fair level of NEED FOR ACHIEVEMENT, NEED FOR POWER, COMPETITIVENESS and risk taking behavior, respectively. Males and females react differently to risk, females being less risk-takers than male STUDENTS. Sophomore and senior STUDENTS weren't significantly different as regards ENTREPRENEURSHIP characteristics. Studying at different agricultural disciplines doesn't bear any special effect on different ENTREPRENEURIAL CHARACTERISTICS.
