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.

Higher education institutions should be able to change the mindset of students who are not only as job seekers, but also job creators especially when educated unemployment in Indonesia increases every year. Entrepreneurship is one solution in tackling unemployment and poverty which will encourage national economic growth. This study examines the effect of self-efficacy and contextual environment on entrepreneurial behavior with entrepreneurial intention as an intervening variable using Theory of Planned Behavior. The subjects of this study were Semarang State University students who owned a business and joined the UNNES Student Entrepreneurship Center (UNSEC) and Himpunan Pengusaha Muda Indonesia Perguruan Tinggi (HIPMI PT) Semarang State University totaling 310 students. The results showed a direct relationship between self-efficacy and contextual environment towards entrepreneurial behavior and indirect relationships through entrepreneurial intentions. It was proved by the moderating role of entrepreneurial intention in facilitating the relationship of self-efficacy and contextual environment to student entrepreneurial behavior in accordance with the Theory of Planned Behavior. Future studies can use elements of social and demographic psychology that are more complete and involve a wider population.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the entrepreneurial intention of university students using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and parents' occupation. A questionnaire based survey was employed for the data collection. A total of 1244 students participated in the survey. The sample was a convenience one given that the resources available were limited. The size of the sample allows us to proceed with reliable statistical analyses and produce valid conclusions. The findings of our research showed that perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, attitude and parents' occupation are important variables influencing entrepreneurial intention. The variable that affects entrepreneurial intention the most is attitude. The findings led support to the theory and the hypotheses proposed. These findings indicate that the recommended model can be used to explain a large part of variation in entrepreneurial intention. This study, contributes to the entrepreneurial intention literature providing empirical evidence to help formulate policies encouraging university students' entrepreneurship practices, attracting the interest of both educators and policy makers. This evidence will become increasingly important, as research in the field of entrepreneurship continues to place models of entrepreneurial intentions at the center of our understanding of the entrepreneurial process. Future studies could investigate the validity of the findings reported here, in different contexts using more variables, not included in this study and inquire the potential existence of latent variables which may be confounding the relationships discussed in this paper.

Purpose First, this study aims to investigate the factors affecting entrepreneurial intentions. Second, it is to identify the influential factors with the highest influence on entrepreneurial intention. Design/methodology/approach The sample of the current study was female employees in various hospitality firms, including restaurants, hotels and wellness services. The questionnaire was developed based on past research studies and was tested for reliability prior to the full set of data collection. To represent the early to mid-level career women in hospitality, female employees with at least one-year experience from hospitality businesses, such as restaurants and hotels, participated in the study and total usable samples were 416. Findings The findings demonstrated that attitude toward risk-taking, self-efficacy, subjective norm and empowerment is significantly influential to the entrepreneurial intention of the women in the hospitality industry. Based on the data analysis, attitude toward risk-taking has the highest influence on entrepreneurial intention. In other words, with a positive attitude toward risk-taking, female employees showed the greatest tendency to start their own business. Research limitations/implications The current study extended the theory of planned behavior in that it can be used to explain the women’s entrepreneurial intention with subjective norms, attitudes and self-efficacy. The study also highlighted the flexibility of the theory in allowing the researchers to add external variables to help further investigate the relationships among all the factors in the models. Practical implications To highlight the opportunity to promote more equality and diversity in the business management environments, the results from the study promoted the roles of women entrepreneurs to support hospitality business development. One of the most influential factors is the attitude toward risk-taking. This suggested that with the positive attitude toward risk, the respondents have higher entrepreneurial intentions. Promoting and sharing the success stories of female entrepreneurs can affect the attitude of female employees and raise their interests toward becoming entrepreneurs. Originality/value The current study provided a unique investigation on the early to mid-level career hospitality female employees to explore their intention to be entrepreneurs. This research offered the extension of the theory of planned behavior in the context of entrepreneurship.

By taking a Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study examines the relationship between students' entrepreneurial, attitude (AT), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavior control (PBC). The data used in the analysis is from 150 graduate students from 12 universities in Yogyakarta. The results indicate that attitudes and perceived behavior control significantly influenced students' entrepreneurial intentions, but not subjective norms. This study helps understand the role of a qualified educational background, namely the Master of Management in shaping entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, this study reveals the importance of examining students' entrepreneurialism in today's digital age.

Σκοπός της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής είναι η διερεύνηση του ερευνητικού κενού μεταξύ πρόθεσης και δράσης στο πλαίσιο της επιχειρηματικής διαδικασίας. Η παρούσα έρευνα, βασιζόμενη σε μια σειρά θεωριών και εμπειρικών μελετών από τις βιβλιογραφίες της γνωστικής ψυχολογίας και των επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων, προσπαθεί να απαντήσει γιατί ορισμένοι άνθρωποι με επιχειρηματικές προθέσεις ενεργούν προκειμένου να δημιουργήσουν τη δική τους επιχείρηση, ενώ κάποιοι άλλοι όχι. Συγκεκριμένα, το προτεινόμενο εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο ενσωματώνει τη Θεωρία της Σχεδιασμένης Συμπεριφοράς (Theory of Planned Behavior) και το Μοντέλο του Επιχειρηματικού Γεγονότος (Entrepreneurial Event Model) προκειμένου να ερευνηθούν οι γνωστικές διαδικασίες που οδηγούν στον καθορισμό στόχων και στη διαμόρφωση επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων. Ταυτόχρονα, ασπάζεται τη Θεωρία Νοοτροπίας των Φάσεων Δράσης (Mindset Theory of Action Phases) και το Μοντέλο του Ρουβίκωνα των Φάσεων Δράσης (Rubicon Model of Action Phases) προκειμένου να εμβαθύνει στην κατανόηση της προσπάθειας επίτευξης του στόχου και την επικείμενη δημιουργία της νέας επιχείρησης. Ως εκ τούτου, το ερευνητικό μοντέλο βασίζεται στις προτάσεις του Krueger σχετικά με την πολυδιάστατη φύση των επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων. Με σκοπό να φωτίσει τα διαφορετικά στάδια της επιχειρηματικής διαδικασίας, η συγκεκριμένη έρευνα εστιάζει επίσης σε τρεις θεωρητικές έννοιες που επηρεάζουν τις επιχειρηματικές προθέσεις, ήτοι: το ψυχολογικό κεφάλαιο, την επιχειρηματική ποιότητα και τον προσανατολισμό δράσης.Η στατιστική ανάλυση βασίζεται σε διαχρονικά δεδομένα προερχόμενα από ένα τυχαίο δείγμα Ελλήνων νεοφυών επιχειρηματιών, οι οποίοι συμμετέχουν σε διαγωνισμούς επιχειρηματικότητας, θερμοκοιτίδες επιχειρηματικότητας ή επιταχυντές επιχειρηματικότητας, και μεταπτυχιακούς φοιτητές στη διοίκηση επιχειρήσεων. Οι υποθέσεις και των δύο εννοιολογικών μοντέλων ελέγχονται με τη χρήση της ανάλυσης διαδρομής (path analysis), ένα υποσύνολο της μοντελοποίησης διαρθρωτικών εξισώσεων (SEM).Τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας υποδεικνύουν ότι:i.Το ψυχολογικό κεφάλαιο και η επιχειρηματική ποιότητα επηρεάζουν τη διαμόρφωση επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων.ii.Οι επιχειρηματικές προθέσεις επηρεάζουν άμεσα την επιχειρηματική δέσμευση, ενώ το ψυχολογικό κεφάλαιο και η επιχειρηματική ποιότητα την επηρεάζουν μόνο έμμεσα διαμέσου των επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων.iii.Οι επιδράσεις της επιχειρηματικής δέσμευσης στις επιχειρηματικές ενέργειες και το επιχειρηματικό αποτέλεσμα εξαρτώνται θετικά από το επίπεδο του προσανατολισμού δράσης.iv.Η διαμεσολαβητική επίδραση της επιχειρηματικής δέσμευσης, στις σχέσεις μεταξύ των επιχειρηματικών προθέσεων και των επιχειρηματικών ενεργειών/αποτελέσματος, εξαρτάται θετικά από το επίπεδο του προσανατολισμού δράσης.Στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο της παρούσας διατριβής συζητείται διεξοδικά η συνεισφορά των προαναφερθέντων αποτελεσμάτων, τόσο σε θεωρητικό όσο και σε πρακτικό επίπεδο.

With theoretical underpinnings in the theory of planned behavior, this research aims at investigating how women's entrepreneurial intentions might develop in Pakistan. The survey of 216 female students revealed that psychological capital plays an important role in shaping women's entrepreneurial commitment which in turn results in increased intentions to opt for entrepreneurship as a career. Additionally, it was observed that social support moderates the indirect relation in such a way that in the presence of high social support, the association between psychological capital and intentions via commitment is further strengthened. Because women face comparatively more barriers in paid career, therefore it was necessary to study the mechanism and driver that can improve their entrepreneurial intentions, since they represent an untapped resource that might be utilized to improve the economic prospects of a country. The study bridges a significant knowledge gap in utilizing psychological capital to enhance female's entrepreneurial intentions, who are under constant pressure of juggling multiple roles at work and home.

The Relationship

Human capital variables (such as practical learning, education and experience) affect cognitive decision making abilities of individuals which permit them to identify entrepreneurial opportunities. Therefore, this study aims to establish an integrated model considering the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and human capital variables considering Pakistan as a sample, especially targeting IT major students. Data for the study were collected from 227 IT major students from seven universities from different provinces of Pakistan. Principal component analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis are used for data analysis. The findings of the study confirm the validity of TPB model in predicting entrepreneurial intentions among IT major students. This study further confirms the effect of human capital variables within TPB framework and demonstrates that prior entrepreneurial exposure (PEE) and prior familial exposure (PFE) have an impact on attitude towards entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the relationship of PEE and PFE in predicting entrepreneurial intentions was found insignificant and significant respectively. This is one of the first studies which explore entrepreneurial intentions among IT major students regarding a developing country. Furthermore, this study provides valuable insights to practitioners and educators in Pakistan for consideration of human capital variables’ influence on entrepreneurial behavior and entrepreneurial intentions among IT major students.
