The role of entrepreneurship education, curriculum, lecturer competency on students' entrepreneurial intentions: A multiple mediator analysis
Öz
Entrepreneurship in many countries is recognized as a driving factor for economic growth. The trend regarding the importance of entrepreneurship in triggering development and economic change in a country shows an increasing trend. Although many experts have highlighted the vital role of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions, until now, there has been no clarity on the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial tendencies because of different research findings among experts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the role of entrepreneurship education factors, curriculum, lecturer competence, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and creative self-efficacy on students' entrepreneurial intentions. This study involved university students in Indonesia and Vietnam to express their perceptions of entrepreneurship education, curriculum, lecturer competence, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, creative self-efficacy, and students' entrepreneurial intentions. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS software. This study's findings indicate that entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial self-efficacy directly influence students' entrepreneurial intentions. Other predictors, such as curriculum relevance, lecturer competence, and creative self-efficacy, have not been shown to influence students' entrepreneurial intentions directly. Another finding is that entrepreneurship education indirectly affects entrepreneurial intention through students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Similar results also showed that self-efficacy successfully mediated the influence of lecturer competence on students' entrepreneurial intention.
