National Programs

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

Practical Implications

Entrepreneurship allows students to learn beyond their chosen field of study and provides an interdisciplinary work and development environment. This study aims to examine the influence of attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurship intention among Malaysian undergraduates. In addition, this study intends to compare the influence of attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurship intention between diploma and bachelor’s degree students. Based on a quantitative approach, primary survey data were collected from 400 undergraduate students at a public university using convenience sampling to limit bias. The findings in this study indicate that attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are significantly positively related to entrepreneurship intention for diploma and bachelor’s degree students. Notwithstanding this, the multiple regression results reveal that the strongest predictor of entrepreneurship intention for diploma students is the subjective norm while perceived behavioral control is the main predictor that affects entrepreneurship intention for bachelor’s degree students. These findings contribute to the entrepreneurial intention literature by applying the theory of planned behavior in Malaysia with valuable practical implications for the management of universities and the government.

Moderating Role

Purpose: This study investigates the moderating role of self-efficacy on the cognitive process of entrepreneurship among Vietnamese students. Specifically, this study explores the moderating effects of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on the relationships between attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention to become entrepreneurs. Methodology: By adapting the theory of planned behavior and using data collected from 2218 students in Vietnam, the author utilizes a meta-analytic path analysis in order to show that entrepreneurial intention is strongly influenced by attitude towards entrepreneurship, followed by self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control. Particularly, structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the model fit and hypothesis. Findings: The study indicates that subjective norms have both direct and indirect effects on entrepreneurship intention. Moreover, although the moderating impacts of self-efficacy on the relationships between subjective norms and perceived behavioral control is insignificant, the research study indicates that self-efficacy moderates the correlation between attitude towards entrepreneurship and start-up intention. Implications for theory and practice: Besides its contributions to entrepreneurship literature, this study also contributes to practices and implications at universities in Vietnam. Originality and value: These findings also illustrate that the theory of planned behavior can be appropriately implemented in the research context of emerging economies such as Vietnam. In addition, the study shows that the relationship between attitude towards entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention is moderated by entrepreneurial self-efficacy.

The Impact

Abstract There have been thousands of literature reviews and research papers all over the world employing entrepreneurial intention as their powerful theoretical framework. Nevertheless, they mostly focused on personal traits and characteristics and ignored entrepreneurial education, especially in the Vietnam context. To fulfill this gap, this study was conducted with the ultimate aim is to detect and evaluate the impact of perceived education support undergraduates received in universities, self-efficacy, and the Theory of Planned Model on entrepreneurial intention among business students. In the study, a conceptual model was proposed and tested on a sample of 312 undergraduates in some universities in Vietnam. The SmartPLS version 3.0 was employed to analyze the statistical data collected in electronic and paper forms. The statistical data was used to assess the measurement model and the structural model. The finding indicated that perceived education support and two elements of theory planned behavior, specifically, attitude towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioral control positively and significantly affect entrepreneurial intention. Besides, self-efficacy strengthens the positive relationship between attitude towards entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the findings, the paper suggests practical implications in terms of increasing the intention of entrepreneurship among undergraduates.

Entrepreneurial Intention is a component that can explain the mindset and have a substantial impact on individual behavior. This fact indicates how hard a person's mindset is in trying and how much effort is put in so that the desired behavior can be carried out. This study examines the direct and indirect effects of an entrepreneurial mindset, perceived behavioral control, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention. A total of 354 students in Malang took part in this research. We used descriptive statistical analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and path analysis. The study results found that the entrepreneurial mindset and perceived behavioral control affected entrepreneurial self-efficacy—similarly, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial mindset, and perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurial intention. Our results also found that entrepreneurial self-efficacy failed to mediate the effect of the entrepreneurial mindset on entrepreneurial intention.

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.
