Abstract

PurposeThe study seeks to conduct an empirical investigation on the impact of entrepreneurship education (EE) through its components, i.e. entrepreneurial knowledge (EK) and business planning (BP) on entrepreneurial intentions (EI) in India.Design/methodology/approachAn electronic questionnaire was used to collect data from 340 engineering students and partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the collected data.FindingsThe findings revealed that EK and BP have no direct impact on EI, however, they have an indirect influence through attitude towards entrepreneurship (ATE) and perceived behavioral control (PBC), whereas subjective norms (SN) have no mediation impact on the relationships.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has been conducted on students of engineering background only, future studies can be carried out by incorporating more attitudinal and environmental determinants with larger data sizes from diverse educational streams.Practical implicationsThis study is of immense significance to policymakers and educational establishments in designing the purposefully designed EE courses that can drive the entrepreneurial intentionality of students.Originality/valueThe study adds to the paucity of research on the systematic elaboration of EE construct underlining the specific impact of EK and BP as EE dimensions on students' EI. To the best of authors' awareness, this kind of investigation has not been conducted in indian higher educational institution (HEI) context.

创业知识、商业规划和创业意向之间有什么联系？对印度高等教育机构的实证研究

本研究旨在通过创业知识（EK）和商业规划（BP）这两部分内容，对印度创业教育（EE）对创业意向（EI）的影响进行实证调查。研究采用电子问卷收集 340 名工科学生的数据，并使用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）分析收集到的数据。研究结果研究结果表明，EK 和 BP 对 EI 没有直接影响，但它们会通过创业态度（ATE）和感知行为控制（PBC）产生间接影响，而主观规范（SN）对两者之间的关系没有调解作用。研究局限性/启示本研究仅针对工科背景的学生进行，今后的研究可以纳入更多的态度和环境决定因素，并从不同的教育流派中收集更多的数据。本研究对政策制定者和教育机构设计有针对性的创业教育课程具有重要意义，这些课程可以推动学生的创业意向。就作者所知，此类调查尚未在印度高等教育机构（HEI）中进行过。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
