“…The concept of self-efficacy and its impact on entrepreneurial intention has been well documented in the literature (Chen, Greene, & Crick, 1998;Lee Wong & Foo, 2005). Self-efficacy is defined as an individual perception about their capabilities to create designated levels of performance that exercise influence over events that affect their lives (Bandura, 1986(Bandura, , 1997.…”

This study was carried out to examine the role of self-efficacy and social networks on entrepreneurial intention among polytechnic students in Ile -Ife Osun state, Nigeria. Theory of Reasoned action was used as a theoretical framework for this study. A survey design was adopted. The data for this study was collected in 2018 via a purposive sampling technique, where 240 students (81 females and 159 males) with age range of 21-35 years (M = 23.61, SD = 2.63) were selected from one polytechnic. Inferential statistics (t-test for independent measure) was used to test the hypotheses in this study. Result showed that there was significant difference between entrepreneurial intention of polytechnic students with low self-efficacy and high self-efficacy. There was significant difference between entrepreneurial intention of polytechnic students with low social network and high social network. Therefore, to improve entrepreneurial intention among polytechnic students, psychologists should organize psycho-educational interventions aim at increasing self-efficacy and social networks of polytechnic students.Reference: Ojewumi, K.A., Fagbenro, D.A.

“…The perception of market opportunities is a critical part of entrepreneurship such that an entrepreneur searches for new or better solutions than those given in the actual market environment (Lee et al 2005;Buenstorf 2009). It is the existence of opportunities in a market that act as an incentive at the destinationentrepreneurshipwhich attracts people into seeking self-employment.…”

“…From the entrepreneurship perspective, entrepreneurial self-efficacy is the strength of a person's belief in his/her capacity to successfully perform the roles and tasks of an entrepreneur (Chen et al 1998). According to Lee et al (2005), self-efficacious individuals are likely to perceive entrepreneurial environment positively and make the best out of the situation. In other words, high self-efficacy persons are likely to exercise control over entrepreneurial events, while a person low in self-efficacy may not be willing to exert extra effort in the face of obstacles and setbacks (Fu 2011).…”

Determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among young graduates: perspectives of push-pull-mooring model

2018

The role of entrepreneurship in economic development is increasingly recognized by policymakers and researchers. Entrepreneurship has been advanced as the panacea for youth unemployment and wealth creation. However, studies on the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions have been inconclusive. Building on the push-pullmooring model from the migration literature as a theoretical framework, this study provides an integrative model for predicting entrepreneurial intentions amongst young graduates. The survey data was drawn from a sample of 288 National Youth Service Corp members (NYSC) in Anambra State, Southeast Nigeria, to test the applicability of the model. The model was tested using Hierarchical regression. The result confirms the predictive ability of the PPM model on entrepreneurial intentions. Specifically, the result reveals that the pull factors (i.e, independence, autonomy, opportunities exploitation e.t.c) and the mooring variables (i.e., government support, personal attitude, self-efficacy e.t.c) significantly influence entrepreneurial intentions with the mooring variables having the most influence. Therefore, the study recommends the need for policy initiatives towards exposing these young graduates to market opportunities through a mentor-protégé arrangement with successful entrepreneurs during the NYSC programme and providing the necessary supports in the form of funding.

“…This approach is necessary here because of the nature of the study sample, i.e., graduate level business students, whose entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors are yet to be observed. The literature on entrepreneurship also empirically demonstrates the link between attitudes and entrepreneurship behavior (Krueger & Carsrud, 1993;Lee, Chua and Chen, 2004;Goel, Zhang, and Arora, 2007). In addition, we posit that parental social and economic capital, youth's values, beliefs, and personality traits, youth's stock of social capital all directly and collectively influence the youth's attitude toward entrepreneurship (see Warmuth et al 2014).…”

Family, society and the individual: determinants of entrepreneurial attitudes among youth in Chennai, South India

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

High rates of youth unemployment across the world have captured the attention of many world organizations and other policy makers. One policy solution that has been proposed to curb these high rates is encouraging youth entrepreneurship. In this paper, we examine the formation of attitudes that are favorable to entrepreneurship using data from 185 business students in South India. We adopt an approach that tests the relative efficacy of two principal factors in the formation of entrepreneurial attitude, i.e., stocks of youth human/social capital and a series of personality traits. Results from a probit model suggest that the youth's prior labor market experience, the social capital that youth have accumulated through volunteering, and the social connections that parents have made are all highly predictive of pro-entrepreneurial attitudes; personality traits exert less importance. Implications for these findings are discussed for the creation of strategies that can stimulate entrepreneurship among youth as one way to combat high rates of youth unemployment.
