Based on the results of the analysis with the Product Moment correlation analysis method, it is known that there is a positive relationship between achievement motivation and entrepreneurial interest, where rxy = 0.402 with a significant p = 0.000 < 0.050. This means that the proposed hypothesis, the higher the achievement motivation, the higher the interest in entrepreneurship is declared acceptable. The determinant coefficient (r2) of the relationship between the independent variable X and the dependent variable Y is equal to r2 = 0.162 This shows that achievement motivation contributed to entrepreneurial interest by 16.2 %. Based on the results of the calculation of the average value of hypothetical and empirical, it can be concluded that achievement motivation is classified as moderate with a hypothetical mean value of 100 and an empirical mean value of 109.71.
