This research aimed to investigate the factors forming the motivation of entrepreneurs based on the driving
factors, namely the existence of a single market of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). It was the assumption
of the readiness of the students themselves. Basic theory used was the push and pull theory. Thus, with the driving
factor, the research also aimed to see the interest factor from within. Respondents were prospective graduate
students of Global Persada Vocational High School. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires processed
by using quantitative research analysis and multiple linear regression. Partially, it is concluded that the formation
of entrepreneurial motivation can be affected by factors of interest and it is not due to the push from outside
concerning the unpreparedness of students in facing the single market of AEC.
