Abstract:
Based on Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data, Indonesia has the highest
new business entrepreneurship rate among other Southeast Asian countries. Indonesia
also has a relatively high established business ownership rate, it is the second highest
among Southeast Asian countries after Thailand. However, almost all businesses still
focus on the trading or selling products that do not show an example of risk taking
and has little innovation. This research captures entrepreneurial employee activity
(EEA), which is acknowledging the existence of different types of entrepreneurship
(early-stage entrepreneurs, established businesses, and ambitious entrepreneurial
employee activity) among non-entrepreneurs. This study elaborates how different
profiles of entrepreneurship, related to different conditions, leading to different forms
of socio economic output. The study indicates that there is a low rate of employees
who are taking an active and leading role in the entrepreneurial activity are very low,
and the rate tends to decrease between current situation and the last three years.
