Entrepreneurship Education as a Key Antecedent to Boost Nascent Entrepreneurs

There is a need to evaluate entrepreneurial education programs (EEPs) to see the impact they have on a country’s development. Previous work has focused mostly on entrepreneurial intentions, mainly in a university context. Additionally, literature reviews on the impact of entrepreneurial education have not yet been conclusive, mainly due to the use of subjective indicators and a low consideration of objective indicators. The purpose of this article is to respond to some of these challenges. Specifically, this study used an objective indicator, Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA), in a non-university context. A database was created that included programs categorized by autonomous communities. The analysis showed that EEPs significantly influenced the entrepreneurial activity of autonomous communities. This implies that entrepreneurial education should be a prioritized objective in the educational policy of these communities. The recommendations derived from these results are, among others, to promote role models, continue supporting the financing of entrepreneurial initiatives through education and training, continue implementing government policies to support entrepreneurship, and carry out evaluations on the impact that these programs have on skills acquired in the short and medium terms, as well as their maintenance over time.

In comparison to Chinese university graduates, where only 2% of students start their enterprises at 10% accomplishment, advanced nations are 20% successful in entrepreneurship, as per Hu and Ye (2017).…”

Entrepreneurship makes a huge contribution to any country's economy by providing jobs, instilling innovation, and creativity, and fostering exceptional social development. Scholars have recognized the value of entrepreneurship education since it has a significant impact on students by instilling a feeling of entrepreneurship in them. Entrepreneurial passion refers to the good and intense sensations a person gets from participating in activities related to their role as an entrepreneur. The primary goal of this research is to determine the impact of entrepreneurial passion on social entrepreneurial intent, as well as the role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediating factor. The study developed a mediation model to further research on the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial intention. The study also investigated if entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a role in this relationship. This study's philosophical viewpoint is positivism, and the research design is descriptive and explanatory. The study relied on primary data collected using questionnaires. The study adopted a quantitative approach and to analyze the data obtained from a sample of 200 (graduate students). The study revealed that entrepreneurial passion has a positive impact on entrepreneurial intention and self-efficacy. Second, using entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator, the indirect effect of entrepreneurial passion on entrepreneurial intention was significant and positive. It is therefore recommended that more emphasis be paid to Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy when attempting to build or increase Social Entrepreneurial Intent through Entrepreneurial Passion.
