“…Therefore, in the context of this study, this factor will refer to one's own judgement of the capacity to be an entrepreneur. It should be noted that from a theoretical point of view, entrepreneurial self-efficacy is one of the main determinants explaining entrepreneurial intentions (Gill et al, 2021). In particular, this factor appears in two main theories used to identify entrepreneurial intentions, i.e.…”

Main goal of this study is to explore the entrepreneurial intentions of students in selected European post-communist states. The second purpose of the research is to learn about those determinants which, according to the respondents themselves, are essential for the emergence of entrepreneurial intentions. In short, the results of hierarchical multiple OLS regression indicated that the most important factor influencing the entrepreneurial intentions of the surveyed students was entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Moreover, based on estimates of the final regression model, it was identified that dummy variables concerning the respondents’ country significantly moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the dependent variable. It can be noted that the strength of the impact of the above-mentioned regressor is closely related to the values of Hofstede’s dimensions of national culture. The obtained results were fully confirmed using an alternative research method, i.e. the ordered logit model. In the second stage of the study, it was revealed that the desire to be independent is the most frequently cited factor motivating the respondents to start their own business. Moreover, using the multiple marginal independence (MMI) testing method, it was found that student responses differ significantly among the examined countries, except for two cases, i.e. Russia and Latvia, and the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

“…In view of the benefits of entrepreneurship, it has led to innovative new enterprises and job creation, which is considered one of the most effective ways to increase competition and shape markets, stimulating long-term growth and getting rid of poverty [1,2]. Entrepreneurship is not only an essential driving force of social health and wealth but also a powerful engine of economic growth [3] and technological progress in all countries [4]. More specifically, the main goal of entrepreneurs is to meet the overlooked needs or improve the way they are currently met.…”

With the fact that studying abroad has gradually become the priority choice for students to pursue higher education, the number of international students is undergoing dramatic growth. However, little is known about the entrepreneurship of this growing group. Moreover, a considerable number of researchers propose that entrepreneurial self-efficacy is one of the critical factors that influence individuals to make entrepreneurial decisions in the entrepreneurial domain. Therefore, this paper takes a group of international students as its research object to explore the impact of the four capability dimensions of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention (EI) and its relationship with demographic characteristics in the Hungarian context. The four capability dimensions tested in this study include operation and management capacity (OMC), relationship coordination capacity (RCC), risk tolerance capacity (RTC), and innovative and opportunity identification capacity (IOIC). To test the hypothesis in this paper, the hierarchical regression and independent samples t-test are used. The results show that OMC, RTC, and IOIC have a significant impact on the EI of international students, but RCC has not been confirmed. Additionally, the demographic characteristics of international students are associated with their EI in the context of Hungary. This finding contributes to adopting more effective and comprehensive entrepreneurial practices for relevant institutions.

“…We have two endogenous variables based on this study literature, so we developed the two syntaxes and ran the second-order moderated mediation structural model with paths simultaneously, as shown in Figure 2 . The syntax is supported to analyze the model simultaneously to measure the multiple direct and conditional indirect relationships, validated by some antecedent studies ( González et al, 2017 ; Gill et al, 2021 ; Jiatong et al, 2021b ). To solve the literature’s ambiguity, we give moderated mediation support to the theoretical framework; very considerable research has been developed ( Hayes and Preacher, 2013 ).…”

This research aims to identify the investor’s decision-making styles and their impact on entrepreneurial opportunities through the mediation role of entrepreneurial intention and moderation effect of social capital in the healthcare sector of Pakistan. This study applied a structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the hypotheses on a sample of 400 healthcare investors. Our findings reveal that the conditional indirect relationship of entrepreneurial intention through social capital was significant on opportunity creation and an insignificant influence on opportunity discovery from decision-making styles. This study provides implications for policymakers to enhance entrepreneurial opportunity creation by providing robust social environment investors and encouraging them to create business ventures in the healthcare sector.
