Pemerintah mendorong pengembangan budaya kewirausahaan di kalangan mahasiswa untuk meningkatkan kemandirian ekonomi generasi muda. Partisipasi dalam program kewirausahaan melibatkan berbagai risiko, seperti kegagalan seleksi, pendanaan, dan konsekuensi administratif, sehingga risk taking propensity menjadi aspek penting untuk diteliti. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara parent career behavior dan risk taking propensity pada mahasiswa Universitas Syiah Kuala yang berpartisipasi dalam program kewirausahaan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional dengan teknik accidental sampling terhadap 238 mahasiswa aktif. Risk taking propensity diukur menggunakan General Risk Propensity Scale, sedangkan parent career behavior diukur menggunakan Parent career behavior Checklist. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan korelasi Pearson Product Moment. Hasil menunjukkan hubungan positif yang signifikan namun lemah antara parent career behavior dan risk taking propensity (r = 0,175; p = 0,007). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi perilaku karier orang tua yang dipersepsikan mahasiswa, semakin tinggi kecenderungan mahasiswa untuk mengambil risiko.

The government promotes entrepreneurship among university students to foster economic independence. Participation in entrepreneurship programs involves uncertainties, including selection failure, funding rejection, and administrative consequences, making risk taking propensity an important topic of study. This research examined the relationship between parent career behavior and risk taking propensity among Universitas Syiah Kuala students participating in entrepreneurship programs. A quantitative correlational design was employed using accidental sampling with 238 active students. Risk taking propensity was measured using the General Risk Propensity Scale, while parent career behavior was assessed using the Parent career behavior Checklist. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The findings revealed a significant but weak positive relationship between parent career behavior and risk taking propensity (r = .175, p = .007). These results indicate that higher perceived parental career behavior is associated with a greater tendency among students to take risks.
