University Support

Entrepreneurial education has always played an important role in developing entrepreneurship. In recent years, China has been emphasizing the integration of innovative entrepreneurship concepts into university curricula. Entrepreneurial education can also contribute to the sustainability of business development. In the context of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation”, entrepreneurial education is important to promote the restructuring of the economic and business model, enhance the development momentum, and follow the innovation-driven development path. However, whether the promotion of entrepreneurial education will lead to entrepreneurial intentions of college students, and thus, specific proposals for the promotion of the entrepreneurial education model remains unclear. Therefore, this study adopted the theory of planned behavior perspective coupled with perceived university support to extend the theory of planned behavior framework and explain the effect of such support on student entrepreneurial intention. The study results revealed that perceived university support significantly affected student attitude toward entrepreneurship, which signaled universities’ critical role in establishing entrepreneurial spirit in students. A significant effect on behavioral control was also observed for perceived university support. Regarding the effects of perceived university support on attitude toward entrepreneurship and behavioral control, the results revealed the effect was far greater on attitude than on behavioral control. Such intention was not directly affected by subjective norms. Therefore, a scientifically rational entrepreneurship course system is critical for effective entrepreneurship education. Overall, encouraging students to engage in the continuous process of entrepreneurship through entrepreneurship courses can concurrently benefit overall economic and social development.

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.

The Impact

This study is the first to examine the impact of entrepreneurship education (EE) on entrepreneurial intention (EI) among vocational college students in China. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior and the EI Questionnaire the study investigates the relationships between EI, its antecedents and EE. The data were collected by surveying 383 vocational college students in Wuxi, Jiangsu, in the People's Republic of China. The researcher used Least-Squares Regression modeling to find significant positive relationships between personal attitude, perceived behavioral control, and EE with EI. Mediation analysis found personal attitude to partially mediate the EE–EI relationship. The results suggest EE is effective in stimulating EI in China. This study provides implications to policy-makers, vocational institutions, and scholars given the current state of China's economy, recent government policies, and the ongoing debate surrounding the EE–EI relationship.

Recently, the influencing factors and the configuration of entrepreneurial intention's model are hot issues. Although there are many related researches, the objects of these studies are focused on undergraduates, migrant workers etc. This article is based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), we define and analyze the constitute connotation of three key variables, which are the behavioral attitude (BA), subject norm (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC). We also define their relative salient beliefs. According to researches, we sum up that BA consists of endogenous attitude and exogenous attitude, then the former's salient beliefs are proactive personality and cognitive bias, the latter are spiritual needs and material needs; SN refers to descriptive norm and its salient beliefs are family background, descriptive examples; PBC is divided into self-efficacy and controllability, entrepreneurial ability and locus of control are salient beliefs of the former, and policy environment is salient belief of the latter. Finally, based on above researches, we put forward a model of STP entrepreneurial intention.

ABSTRACT  Microcredit programs may have an impact on participants’ entrepreneurial behavior. Thus, an understanding of personal attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control as suggested by Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB) may enhance the understanding of the impact of microcredit on participants’ entrepreneurial behavior. Thus, by taking into account the participants’ personal attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control in ways that leads to the enhancement of participants’ entrepreneurial behavior, microcredit programs have not only made small loans available to the poor but also helped to enhance entrepreneurial behavior.   Keywords: Microcredit programs, participants’ entrepreneurial intention, participants’ entrepreneurial behavior theory of planned behavior (TPB)

Entrepreneurship among tertiary education graduates is not satisfactory because the current education system makes students tend to be job seekers rather than job creators. The interest in creating jobs from students through entrepreneur is faced with the perception of opportunities to get jobs according to their abilities. This study identify the effect of perceptions of job opportunities and the component of theory of planned behavior on student entrepreneurial interests and behavior. This study sampled 100 undergraduate students from Diponegoro University and used a variance-based structural equation analysis model (SEM-PLS) with Warp PLS 6.0 software. The results obtained from this study indicate that the perceived employability has a significant negative effect on the emergence of entrepreneurial behavior, but does not affect the entrepreneurial intention. Components of the theory of planned behavior, attitudes have a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial interest, subjective norms do not affect both entrepreneurial interest and behavior, while significant behavioral control positively influences both entrepreneurial intention and behavior. The results of this study are expected to be a reference in improving the existing education system at the university level in order to increase graduates choosing entrepreneurial careers.  Wirausaha di kalangan lulusan pendidikan tinggi situasinya belum cukup memuaskan karena sistem pendidikan yang ada saat ini membuat mahasiswa cenderung menjadi pencari kerja bukan pencipta lapangan kerja. Minat menciptakan lapangan kerja melalui wirausaha oleh mahasiswa juga dihadapkan dengan persepsi peluang untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan sesuai dengan kemampuan mereka. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengidentifikasi pengaruh persepsi peluang kerja dan komponen theory of planned behavior terhadap minat maupun perilaku wirausaha mahasiswa. Penelitian ini mengambil sampel dari mahasiswa S1 Universitas Diponegoro sebanyak 100 orang dan menggunakan analisis model persamaan struktural berbasis varian (SEM-PLS) dengan software Warp PLS 6.0. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa persepsi peluang kerja berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap munculnya perilaku wirausaha, namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap minat wirausaha. Komponen theory of planned behavior yaitu sikap hanya signifikan berpengaruh positif terhadap minat wirausaha, norma subjektif tidak berpengaruh baik pada minat maupun perilaku wirausaha, sedangkan kontrol perilaku signifikan positif mempengaruhi baik minat maupun perilaku wirausaha. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan bisa menjadi acuan dalam memperbaiki sistem pendidikan yang ada di tingiat universitas agar menambah lulusannya memilih karir wirausaha.

This study aims to measure the entrepreneurial intention of Nigerian undergraduates with interest in the predictive capacity of subjective norm. By using the theory of planned behavior, a self-developed questionnaire-based survey was employed. Three hundred and forty-two undergraduates participated in the study. They were selected from six universities across the three geo-political zones in the Northern part of Nigerian, using multi-stage stratified random sampling technique. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation along with Hierarchical Multiple Linear Regression have been used for data analysis purpose. The study finds that all the three antecedents of intention, as mentioned in the theory of planned behavior (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) are significant predictors of entrepreneurial intention. The important finding throws light that only about 20% of the variance could have been explained by the used model. Therefore, the study argues that other factors like entrepreneurship education, improved business scenario etc. may be the other possible factors of predicting the intention. Further, the results uniquely showed that subjective norm is the second most significant predictor in explaining the entrepreneurship intention of Nigerian undergraduate after entrepreneurial attitude. This may be attributed to the collectivist culture of Northern Nigeria from where the samples have been collected. Practical implications of the study have been discussed.

Abstract- This study is to see the impact of entrepreneurship education provided through entrepreneurship courses on entrepreneurial intentions among students in Karawang-West Java. The research model was adopted from Theory Planned Behavior (TPB). The theory of planned behavior includes independent variables, namely attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control. While the dependent variable, entrepreneurial intention is used. Questionnaires were distributed via google form to students who have taken entrepreneurship courses, as many as 115 samples were obtained, and 100 samples that met the criteria were used for processing. Research analysis using SEM PLS found that subjective norms and behavioral control did not affect the intention to entrepreneurship, only attitude that had a significant effect on the intention to entrepreneurship in students. These results prove in the sample taken that the attitude of students more causes entrepreneurial intention, how they are interested in seeing business opportunities, have a positive view of things and always dare to take any risks that come. This finding is expected to change the education plan for entrepreneurship courses, which are expected to include elements to increase interest, think positively, and be optimistic to generate intentions to become an entrepreneur.   Abstrak– Penelitian ini untuk melihat dampak pendidikan kewirausahaan yang diberikan melalui mata kuliah kewirausahaan terhadap niat wirausaha di kalangan mahasiswa di  kota Karawang-Jawa Barat.
