The importance of entrepreneurial role in supporting the country's economic growth has been recognized by experts in the field of entrepreneurship. Today the importance of entrepreneurship has become increasingly important where it has turned into a priority for developing countries including Malaysia. Now, there are many higher educational institutions that are aware of the importance of applying entrepreneurial skills in higher education. Therefore, public universities have to implement entrepreneurship education to encourage students to venture into entrepreneurship. This study examined the effects of entrepreneurship education in influencing business performance among ITM/UiTM graduates. A total of 250 graduates from various businesses in Malaysia participated voluntarily in this study by completing survey questionnaires. A series of statistical analysis were applied including descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regressions analysis using the SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that university curriculum, relational factor, society factor, and entrepreneurship values were found to have significant influences on business performance. However, the results revealed that the university role has no significant influence on business performance. The findings of this study contribute to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship literature by adding new empirical evidence on the relationship between university curriculum, relational factors, society factor, and entrepreneurship values on business performance. In terms of managerial implications, the findings help HEI’s in organizing entrepreneurship education dimensions, particularly in strategizing, marketing, decision making, and positioning themselves in the business industry.   Keywords: Entrepreneurship education, Business performance, Entrepreneurship values, University curriculum, University role, Relational factors, Society factor.

An introduction of ethics into the theory of entrepreneurial passion is indeed inevitable because of its unique contribution to knowledge, motivation, and behavior. The lack of a specific ethical behavior framework handicapped various possible contributions made by social entrepreneurship to the society or economy. To be meaningful for practitioners, business ethics must be grounded in the reality of experience. This might be of help for social entrepreneurship practitioners to extend its impact to the fullest. Ethical behavior presents a positive predictor of entrepreneurial actions and innovation. Moreover, values and ethics can have positive effects on entrepreneurial passion. In fact, entrepreneurial attributes and qualities of young entrepreneurs can be promoted by ethics. Furthermore, the importance of the ethical factor in the development of social entrepreneurs' intentions can be better conceived by studying its effect as a function of the projects created by the sector of activity.
