Summary: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy, family support, and peer support among undergraduate students in South Tangerang, Indonesia. One hundred and fifty-one (151) undergraduate students from five private universities in South Tangerang, Indonesia participated in the self-administered questionnaire that were distributed online. The data collected were then analysed with SPSS and the statistical methods used were Descriptive, Mean Comparison, Independent T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and Multiple Regression. The findings of this study supported previous researches, where self-efficacy, family support, and peer support have significant and positive relationship with entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, result evidence showed that students who came from family with entrepreneurship background scored higher in entrepreneurial intentions. Similar outcomes can be found when examining the role of entrepreneurial peers and peer encouragement. However, with whom students live showed no significant difference, hence further investigation on the variable is needed. The findings on this study can be useful for policymakers and educators to increase the intention for entrepreneurship among undergraduate students by increasing their self-efficacy and peer support. This can be done through building a studentship environment that promotes entrepreneurship activities, incorporating digital entrepreneurship course into students’ curriculum, and also organizing training, mentorship, workshop, and seminar programs related to entrepreneurship. By increasing the entrepreneurship intentions of undergraduate students, hopefully the unemployment rate in Indonesia can decrease while also increasing the country’s amount of entrepreneurship activities, growing the nation economy subsequently.
