“…The nexus between entrepreneurship orientation (in terms of innovativeness, need for achievements, opportunity recognition, risk-taking propensities and entrepreneurship education) and entrepreneurial intention has been explored. The study concluded that the entrepreneurship orientation of the students positively affects their intention to become entrepreneurs (Adhikari & Ghosh, 2023; Akhtar et al, 2022). A similar study conducted by Astiana et al (2022) showed a positive and significant association between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention.…”

Economic development is significantly influenced by the entrepreneurial process. Economic growth is fuelled by entrepreneurial activity; thus, academic institutions are under more pressure than ever to encourage students to think like entrepreneurs. This study tries to focus on analysing how entrepreneurship education is affecting the development of entrepreneurial intent among female students of Odisha. The study analysed the impact of entrepreneurship education in terms of perception of entrepreneurship education, perceived relevance and adequacy of curriculum and perceived competence of the lecturing team on student entrepreneurial intention. Our study showed a positive and significant association between entrepreneurship education and female entrepreneurial intention. It was also evident from the study that entrepreneurship education has a positive significant impact on female entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, it is imperative to reform and revolutionise the educational system for educated youth to stop seeking employment and start creating it instead.

This study aims to explore Saudi students’ entrepreneurial orientation (EO) toward e-businesses in the line of achieving the strategic objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Saudi Vision 2030 (hereafter, Vision 2030) is a strategic framework to attain the sustainable development of Saudi Arabia. It was first announced by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in April 2016. Authors have proposed a Saudi Vision Linkages Model to show the role and importance of university education (UE) and entrepreneurial culture in fulfilling the specific requirements of the Saudi labor market to attain the ultimate strategic objectives of Vision 2030. The authors also proposed a conceptual model of the study to depict the relationships of EO with their entrepreneurial intention toward online businesses (e-EI). The study used a multidimensional model of the EO where three subdimensions, namely risk-taking propensities (RTP), innovativeness (INV), and pro-activeness (P-ACT), are used. The conceptual model of the study also shows UE and gender (GEN) as moderating variables. The authors used convenience sampling to collect cross-sectional data and conducted an online survey among the students at Saudi Electronic University (SEU) using a 5-point Likert-type scale to collect the data through a questionnaire, observing a total of 17 items and 408 filled questionnaires were received. Authors proposed six hypotheses where four hypotheses build the direct relations, namely, RTP (H1), INV (H2), P-ACT (H3), and UE (H4) with e-EI and hypotheses H5 and H6 are further divided into the subhypotheses, respectively, in H5a, H5b, H5c and H6a, H6b, H6c to show the moderating effect of UE (H5) and GEN (H6). SmartPLS 4.0 software is used to apply structural equation modeling for the analysis of data. Reliability, composite validity, discriminant validity, and model-fit indices of the measurement model are assessed before running a bootstrapping to measure the significance and standardized β estimates of the paths of hypotheses (structural model analysis). After analyzing the results, in the suggestions section, the authors have suggested that the university build a university business incubator for the students to promote entrepreneurial activities on all the campuses with a head office in the Riyadh campus.

“…Significantly, entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as a key driver of global economic expansion [ 2 ]. Consequently, there has been a surge in scholarly research focusing on entrepreneurial activities among various demographics, including returning migrant workers [ 3 ], researchers [ 4 ], and students [ 3 , 4 ]. Notably, students are considered central to entrepreneurial endeavors, attributed to their inherent innovative and adventurous qualities.…”

Female entrepreneurs have irreplaceable status and essential significance in entrepreneurship research. Improving females’ entrepreneurial intentions is an important topic in this area. Accordingly, this study, based on the theory of planned behavior, investigates the factors that affect female students’ entrepreneurial intention at China’s vocational colleges and whether household income moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial education, attitude, competence, self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. 2149 females from vocational colleges in Guangdong Province, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangxi Province were randomly chosen to participate in the study. They had taken part in entrepreneurial courses throughout 2021–2022. In addition, data were analyzed by structural equation modeling partial least squares. The results demonstrate that entrepreneurial education did not directly affect female students’ intentions. Entrepreneurial competence, self-efficacy, and attitude positively affect entrepreneurial intention. It is further concluded that household income significantly moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial education, attitude, competence, and intention. However, there is no significant difference in the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention between high and low-household-income students. While females continue to confront sexism in the workplace, it is crucial that we conduct empirical research into the factors influencing female entrepreneurial intention to boost economic growth and gender parity. This research helps bridge a gap in the prior literature and adds substantial value to encouraging female entrepreneurs.
