The information to be collected on variables was range from determining simply the presence or absence of a variable to ranking the variables on a given scale depending upon the nature of the variable.Our study is Descreptive and Exploratory nature and Z-test Analysis was carried out in order to unearth the relationship between Hypothesized Factors (Lack of innovation and creativity, Lack of risk tolerance, lack of resources, unsupportive social environment, Lack of support from self – employed people, the lack of promotion of self – employment from teachers, Lack of entrepreneurship education, Low number of self – employed parents, Lack of required human skills, Long working hour) and low inclination towards entrepreneurship in business students of Islamabad. FINDINGS: Our business students who are pursuing their business and management education at various public and private institutions throughout the country. Being the business student they are the most relevant people to the field of business and are taught how to manage and run a business successfully. They are expected to have a high level understanding of the dynamics of business and consequently should be expected to start their own business after completing their business studies. But our study prove that the inclination towards entrepreneurship among business graduates still remains very low. There is only a small proportion of current business students which are interested in doing their own business. A vast majority is still planning their career to become employees in organizations. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS: The sample size consisting of 20 respondents from each university is relatively small as compared to hundreds of students enrolled in these universities. which slightly limits the generalizability of the findings. ORIGINALITY VALUE: To the best of the researcher’s knowledge this study is a unique study of its kind in the Business Sector that studies the low inclination towards entrepreneurship in business students of Islamabad. MAIN CONTRIBUTION: The study concludes that the aptitude of our students towards entrepreneurship is not very strong. Through now the state of affairs is seemingly changing but still the general inclination towards self – employment remains very low. The relative rates of self – employment in our country remains very low as compared to those of U.S.A and many other developed countries.
