PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial self-efficacy on the entrepreneurial intention of Indian university students. This paper also examines the moderating role of entrepreneurship education and gender on the opportunity recognition–intention and self-efficacy–intention relationships.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through a comprehensive questionnaire from 334 students having business and management background. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to ensure the reliability and validity of all the constructs, and structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThis study unveils three important findings. First, opportunity recognition and self-efficacy both show a significant positive impact on the entrepreneurial intention of students. Second, education positively moderates “self-efficacy–intention relationship”, and third, gender negatively moderates “opportunity recognition–intention” and “self-efficacy–intention” relationships.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has been carried out using a sample of students from only one university, and the study included only business and management background students. Similar studies can be conducted by adding more motivational and contextual factors with an increased sample size of students having different educational backgrounds.Practical implicationsThis study provides pragmatic support to formulate new educational initiatives that can support students in their present or future entrepreneurial projects.Originality/valueThis study adds to the scarce literature on opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial intention and also highlights the moderating role of entrepreneurship education and gender on opportunity recognition–intention and entrepreneurial self-efficacy–intention relationships.

This research purposes to examine the moderating role of gender on the entrepreneurial intention model. The Theory of the Entrepreneurial Event (TEE) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) are integrated as grand theory to explain the research. The data were obtained by involving 154 active undergraduate students as respondents. The results from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis approach showed that gender moderate the direct effect of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intention significantly. The positive effect of entrepreneurial subjective norm on entrepreneurial intention is stronger and significant in female respondents than males.

This article evaluates whether contextual triggers lead to entrepreneurial behaviour among microfinance clients in India. The study identifies entrepreneurial training and microcredit as the contextual triggers that can be effective in creating entrepreneurial intentions and behaviour, respectively. Acquired learning helps to develop capability in an individual to identify the business opportunities around him, which help in creating entrepreneurial intention that can promote action. Microenterprises among low-income clients are usually formed by the support mechanism of triggering events. Shapero’s entrepreneurial event (SEE) model is used to capture the effects of microenterprise trainings that create entrepreneurial learning, leading to entrepreneurial intention and behaviour. The study also extends to capture the effect of microcredit as a moderator in effecting entrepreneurial behaviour among microfinance clients. The study finds that learning outcomes are capable of generating entrepreneurial intentions in a microenterprise context through the construct of desirability. Further, access to microcredit results in entrepreneurial behaviour. The findings provide direction to the effectiveness of entrepreneurial learning derived from entrepreneurial training in creating entrepreneurial intention. It also reveals the significance of moderating role of microcredit that leads to entrepreneurship behaviour. Therefore, findings are useful for policymakers in promoting microenterprises among the microfinance clients to address the problem of poverty.
