An integration of S-O-B-A paradigm to explore university students' entrepreneurial attitude, intention and action: do university and family support matter?

Abstract

PurposeThe primary purpose of this study is to integrate the stimulus-organism-behavior-accomplishment (S-O-B-A) paradigm to investigate the chain effect of university students' perceived university and family support on their entrepreneurial action (EA) with a serial mediation of their attitude and intention.Design/methodology/approachThis study introduces stratified random sample to choose respondents and a cross-sectional research design. partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has applied to thoroughly investigate the behavioral intention concerned with students' entrepreneurship action.FindingsThe findings explored that perceived university support and family supports positively impact students' entrepreneurship attitude, where perceived family support creates statistically more powerful implications than university support. Students' attitude toward entrepreneurship positively affects their entrepreneurial intent, and finally, the entrepreneurial pursuit has an affirmative impact on students' EA.Originality/valueThis study incorporates the S-O-B-A paradigm for the very first time to investigate the effects of students' environmental support on their EA with double mediation by their attitude and intention.

Fourthly, this paradigm is also considered by Awal et al (2023) in the domain of student entrepreneurship, and this research is pioneering to integrate SOBC for the first time in entrepreneurial research. The justification for using SOBC for this research is that it provides the concept that the stimulus influences the organism, leading to a behavior that leads to the consequence.…”

The research demonstrated that entrepreneurial intention and behavior are potential mediators between university assistance and student engagement in entrepreneurial activities.…”
