Abstract

Purpose Underpinned by social cognitive and ecological systems theories, this research explored higher education students' entrepreneurial intentions (EI). It begins by exploring how various factors, including entrepreneurship education (EE), entrepreneurial motivation (EM) and entrepreneurial environment (EENV), contribute to the evolution of EI of students. Second, it examines the role of EM as an underlying mechanism between EE-EI and EENV-EI. Finally, this research explores how EENV moderates the EM and EI relationship. Design/methodology/approach The data were gathered from 366 college students pursuing higher education around India using a convenience sample technique. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to SmartPLSv.3.3.9 software to analyze the data. Findings A direct relationship was found between EE, EENV and EM with EI. Moreover, this research found a partial mediation of EM between EENV-EI and EE-EI paths. Also, the results show that EENV strengthens the link between EM and EI links. Practical implications This study offers valuable insights that can guide government agencies and higher education institutions (HEIs) in reshaping the landscape of entrepreneurial education at the university level. This transformation encompasses the integration of work-based learning experiences as a conduit for equipping students with tangible skills and exposing them to the realities of entrepreneurship in the real world. Originality/value This research considerably contributes to the current literature on entrepreneurship at HEIs by merging social cognitive and ecological systems theories. This research is a pioneering input to examine the underlying mechanism of entrepreneurial motivation between EENV, EE and EI.

创业环境和教育对大学生创业意向的影响:创业动机的中介作用
目的以社会认知和生态系统理论为基础,探讨高等教育学生的创业意向。本文首先探讨创业教育(EE)、创业动机(EM)和创业环境(EENV)等因素对学生情商演变的影响。其次,它考察了EM作为EE-EI和EENV-EI之间的潜在机制的作用。最后,本研究探讨了EENV如何调节电子商务和电子商务之间的关系。设计/方法/方法数据是从印度各地366名接受高等教育的大学生中收集的,采用了方便的抽样技术。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对smartplv .3.3.9软件进行数据分析。结果EE、EENV、EM与EI有直接关系。此外,本研究还发现了EM在EENV-EI和EE-EI路径之间的部分中介作用。结果还表明,EENV增强了EM和EI之间的联系。本研究提供了有价值的见解,可以指导政府机构和高等教育机构(HEIs)重塑大学层面的创业教育格局。这种转变包括以工作为基础的学习经验的整合,作为一种渠道,为学生提供切实的技能,并使他们接触到现实世界中的创业现实。本研究通过融合社会认知和生态系统理论,极大地促进了当前关于高等学校创业的文献。本研究为探究企业环境创新、企业绩效和企业EI之间的创业动机机制提供了开创性的输入。
