“…The basic reason is that students spend time with their friends as being figures in deciding their decision. This is in line with the results of research by Lingappa et al (2020), mentioning that peer interaction and entrepreneurial knowledge affect entrepreneurial readiness. As stated by Reitz et al (2014) from psychological perspectives, peer groups are the first social environment in which adolescents learn to live with other people who are not family members.…”

Stimulating potential entrepreneurs is a global challenge and policymakers need to understand factors affecting students' entrepreneurial intention. The growing body of literature has focused on the impact of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention, while this study aims to explore other predicted factors affecting students' entrepreneurial intention, such as family economic education, peer groups, and economic literacy. This study adopted a quantitative method using a survey approach to obtain comprehensive findings. The research involved online questionnaires to approximately 1000 students undergoing convenience sampling in a university in Indonesia as participants. The results indicated that both family economic education and peer groups positively correlate with economic literacy and students' entrepreneurial intention. These results confirmed a crucial role of economic literacy that government and educational institutions can consider to stimulate students' entrepreneurial intention. This study also contributes to the educational sector and governments to facilitate the creation of student-working groups in entrepreneurship as an attempt to encourage students' engagement.

“…Some researchers affirmed the value of entrepreneurship education [14,15]. They argued that the emergence of entrepreneurship education helped build linkages between the individual and the society and the economy, and helped connect higher education and the economy [16][17][18][19].

Facing the challenging employment situation and the changing labor market, developing student entrepreneurial intention has attracted significant policy consideration in China. This study describes the background of entrepreneurship education in China’s higher education institutes and explores the influences of entrepreneurship education on student entrepreneurial intention. Using data from a survey on students in China, this study finds that students in different types of institutions and different major fields had a different level of engagement in entrepreneurship education. Further, the higher the level of entrepreneurship education the students received, the stronger their self-efficacy of entrepreneurial decision-making was, and the stronger their entrepreneurial intention was. Student entrepreneurial decision-making self-efficacy played a mediating role between entrepreneurship education and student entrepreneurial intention. We found that entrepreneurship education has a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurship education course-taking has a positive effect on entrepreneurial decision-making. Furthermore, the positive effect of self-efficacy of entrepreneurial decision-making on entrepreneurial intention was also confirmed. We also found that self-efficacy of entrepreneurial decision-making played the significant role of mediator between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. The findings also showed a difference between the current China context and the western context that taking entrepreneurship-related classes had more considerable influences on student entrepreneurial intention than entrepreneurship-related practicum. We discuss the implications of the improvement of higher education in China and relevance to other contexts.

“…Some studies have outlined that individuals with a high level of entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial mindset, and creativity are more prone to start their businesses (Hu and Ye, 2017 ; Handayati et al, 2020 ). Additionally, scholars believed that the understanding of entrepreneurial self-efficacy is essential, especially on how to start, manage and develop a new business (Chien-Chi et al, 2020 ; Lingappa et al, 2020 ). Thus, individuals that perceived a high level of self-efficacy will lead to greater cognitive minds.…”
