Entrepreneurship education is one of the national programs to boost the number of entrepreneurs in the country. The success of creating educated entrepreneurs depends on several factors such as the curriculum, mentors, the method and the readiness of the participant. The intention to become an entrepreneur cannot be separated from the individual’s self-efficacy. This research examined the effect of master’s students’ self-efficacy on their entrepreneurial intention, with the mediation of the Planned Behavior Theory variables. The sample included 134 master’s students out of the total of 203. All had been conducting business for at least six months and were recruited through purposive sampling. A 1-5 Likert scale questionnaire was given to the respondents in print and through Google Forms. Quantitative data analysis was done using smart-PLS version 3. Two of the three variables of the Planned Behavior Theory were significant as mediators of self-efficacy, namely attitude toward behavior and subjective norm. Perceived behavioral control did not have an effect on self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intent through mediation. Keywords: self-efficacy, theory of planned behavior, attitude toward behavior, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, entrepreneurial intention

<p>Σκοπός της έρευνας ήταν να διερευνήσει πιθανές διαφορές μεταξύ φύλου και ηλικίας φοιτητών/τριών του Ελληνικού Ανοικτού Πανεπιστημίου με τις στάσεις και τις προθέσεις τους για μελλοντική τους μεταπτυχιακή συμμετοχή, σε πρόγραμμα ελληνικής μουσικής και χορού, στο Ανοικτό Πανεπιστήμιο. Το δείγμα αποτέλεσαν 320 άτομα (180 γυναίκες, 140 άνδρες), ηλικίας από 18 έως 50 ετών. Το ερωτηματολόγιο που χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως όργανο μέτρησης ήταν η ελληνική έκδοση (Theodorakis, 1994) του «Ερωτηματολόγιου της Σχεδιασμένης Συμπεριφοράς» (Planned Behavior Theory Questionnaire) των Ajzen και Madden (1986). Αποτελείται από 10 ερωτήσεις, 6 σχετικές με τις «Στάσεις» και 4 σχετικές με τις «Προθέσεις».  Τα αποτελέσματα καταρχήν έδειξαν υψηλούς δείκτες εσωτερικής συνοχής (Cronbach’s α) και για τους δυο παράγοντες. Επίσης, παρουσιάστηκαν διαφορές στο δείγμα όσον αφορά το φύλο τόσο στις «Στάσεις», όσο και στις «Προθέσεις» τους. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, οι γυναίκες και στους δυο παράγοντες παρουσίασαν υψηλότερους δείκτες από ότι οι άνδρες. Συμπερασματικά, θα λέγαμε ότι το συγκεκριμένο ερωτηματολόγιο μπορεί να αποτελεί χρήσιμο όργανο για την καταγραφή των στάσεων των ατόμων σχετικά με τα μελλοντικά ακαδημαϊκά τους σχέδια και ότι οι γυναίκες συνεχίζουν να αποτελούν τον βασικό πυρήνα ενασχόλησης μεταπτυχιακού προγράμματος σε μουσική και χορό.  </p>

Intentions have been described as a key driver of sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity recognition and eventually activity. As a result of this study, interest may increase in entrepreneurship intentions across numerous entrepreneurial levels and styles, specifically from the point of view of sustainability. However, research to date has not been able to completely determine how the intrinsic complications of instantaneously producing social, environmental, and economic means will have an impact on the intentions of university students. This study sought to inspect the impact of self-transcending and self-enhancing value on the advent of intentions. The theory of planned behavior is an adaptive theory that this study quantitatively analyzed using a structural equation model and survey data from 577 university students in Punjab, Pakistan. The empirical findings show that altruistic, biospheric, hedonic, and egoistic values all have an indirect effect on sustainability-driven entrepreneurial intentions, which is important to understand when assessing attitudes toward sustainable entrepreneurship and perceived behavior control. In essence, attitudes, perceived behavior, and social norms all affect aspirations to become a sustainable entrepreneur. In real-world terms, the findings indicate that by using value activation techniques to increase attitudes and educational interest, practitioners may promote sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. It is also suggested how government services could be improved as part of the strategy.

Entrepreneurship may be taught, and entrepreneurship education is flourishing at colleges and universities. However, previous documents show that entrepreneurship education is inconsistent with the research conclusions of entrepreneurial intention, which is a lack of discussion on the mediating effect of government subsidies from external resources. Based on the cognitive behavior theory, a mediating effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial strategy and entrepreneurial intention is built. By collecting the data of 334 questionnaires of college students in Pearl River Delta in China, a structural equation is used for empirical analysis. The result indicates that entrepreneurship education does not have a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention; exploration innovation and exploitation innovation have a positive influence on entrepreneurial intention, and exploration innovation and exploitation innovation have a mediating effect on entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention; government subsidies have a positive regulating effect on exploration innovation, exploitation innovation, and entrepreneurial intention. In this article, the application of the cognitive behavior theory in the field of entrepreneurship research is expanded to provide the theoretical basis for building the entrepreneurship education ecosystem, which is conductive to innovation and entrepreneurship to promote regional economic development.
