2 Background 7 th International Conference on Humanities and Social Sciences A promoting new entrepreneurs startup of government as a key to creating new businesses in order to build a strong economic growth. The government has used different approach and various systematic for supporting the new entrepreneurs by partnering with universities all over the country for set up business incubators and startup fund project. Kesinee Juthavigit (2009) studied the entrepreneurial and intention of university students and found university students had a quite low level of entrepreneurial intention and an entrepreneurial of students was at a moderate level. In the university position as the academics who responsible for MBA program, we are motivated to study the entrepreneurial competencies of MBA student for starting up new business and the significance of the study is to build the students in program master of business administration more confidence for creating new venture. Objectives/Research Questions 1. Establish core competencies that students perceive as important to start up new business. 2. Suggest on the basis of the results, items to include in the curriculum, to improve the training of students and facilitate the intention to become an entrepreneurs. Research Methodology This is a survey Research. The population was students who studying in master of business administration program during in Songkhla province, the total of 368 people.

Prince of Songkhla University Taksin University Rajabhat University Rajamangala University of technology Srivijaya Ramkhamhaeng University Hatyai University Total However, in this study, the researchers were able to collect data amount 258 students. Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation was used to assess how well the questionnaire items represent the underlying construct. The purpose of factor analysis is to achieve data reduction or to retain the nature and character of the original items, and to delete those items which had lower factor loadings and cross loadings In conducting factor analysis, this study follows 6 assumptions that recommended by Hair et al. (2006). First KMO value must exceed.50. Second, Bartlett test of Sphericity is at least significant at.05. Third, anti-image correlation of items is greater than.50. Fourth, communalities of items must be greater than.50. Fifth, Minimum factor loading (cutoff) of.50 for each items Sixth, eigenvalue is greater than 1 for the factor analysis extraction. Findings Exploratory principal component factor analysis was employed in order to assess the validity of the entrepreneurial competencies construct. Initially, there were 52 items for measuring entrepreneurial competencies; principle components analysis with orthogonal varimax rotation was used to determine the items that are grouped together to form a factor. Initial results of the analysis on the 52 entrepreneurial competencies items denoted that nine items have been deleted due to factor loading less than 0.5. Further factor analyses were consequently performed on the remaining 43 entrepreneurial competencies items. Table 2 provides the results of factor analysis on entrepreneurial competencies variables. 631

The first factor to be most important with highest explained variance of %. This factor was represented by nine variables with factor loadings ranging from.818 to.539 (Cronbach's alpha =.91). The factor has been named as relationship and network 633
6 . The second most important factor accounts for 9.68% of the variance, ten variables with loadings ranging from.726 to.547 (Cronbach's alpha =.94). The factor has been named as management of business operation. The third noteworthy factor accounts for 5.01% of the variance, factor loadings of these variables ranged from.796 to.566 (Cronbach's alpha =.925). The factor has been named as accounting and financial management. The fourth factor with seven items account for 4.75% of variance, their factor loadings ranged from.765 to.516 (Cronbach's alpha =.905). The factor was named as creativity and opportunity recognition. The fifth factor with six items is a very significant factor, which accounts for 3.26% of variance. They carried factor loadings of.760 and.638 respectively (Cronbach's alpha =.894). The factor was named as problem solving and the sixth factor with four items which accounts for 2.91% of variance, their factor loadings ranged from.756 to.646 (Cronbach's alpha =.913). was named as marketing. Discussions The study uses the analytical tools of exploratory factor analysis to achieve the objective, we found the MBA students perceive the main six groups of competencies as important to start up new business as (1) relationships and networks (2) management of business operation (3) accounting and financial management (4) creativity and opportunity recognition, (5) problem solving, and 6) marketing by respectively. To the best our knowledge the relationships and networks is the most importance factor which impact on intent to start new business. Therefore offers contributions to the literature on entrepreneurial intentions, bonding and bridging relationships social networks influence entrepreneurial intentions (Kim & Thomas, 2011) and social networking is a source of developing entrepreneurial intentions (Zafar, Yasin & Ijaz, 2012). Recommendations The curriculum should consider how to develop relationships and networks, management of business operation skill, accounting and financial management skill, creativity and opportunity recognition skill, problem solving skill, and marketing skill in 634
