“…It indicates that individuals' confidence in their ability to overcome obstacles and effectively execute entrepreneurial actions contributes substantially to fostering entrepreneurial intentions among higher-level students in the Koshi province. This is consistent with the findings of previous studies (Dinc & Budic, 2016;Al-Jubari, 2019;Vamvaka et al, 2020;Xiu et al, 2020;Aditya, 2020;Majeed et al, 2021;Santoso, 2021;Villanueva-Flores et al, 2023). However, this finding is inconsistent with the findings of Mohammed et al (2017) and Kolvereid & Isaksen (2006).…”

“…The influence of perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurial behavior extends to both the initiation of a business venture and its intermediary role in shaping entrepreneurial intentions (Al-Jubari, 2019). Many researchers revealed that the perceived behavioral control has a positive and significant effect on the entrepreneurial intention (Dinc & Budic, 2016;Majeed et al, 2021;Vamvaka et al, 2020;Santoso, 2021;Villanueva-Flores et al, 2023;Xiu et al, 2020;Aditya, 2020). On the contrary, some studies reported an insignificant relationship between perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention (Mohammed et al, 2017;Kolvereid & Isaksen, 2006).…”

This study aims to explore the perception of entrepreneurship among higher- level students of Koshi province, Nepal. The study employed the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a theoretical background to understand the personal attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms of students towards entrepreneurship. The study has based on a sample of 318 higher-level students of Koshi Province, Nepal. The study applied a quantitative method with the analysis of a partial least square-structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses by SmartPLS 4. The findings of the study have shown that personal attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms have a significant effect on the entrepreneurial intention of higher-level students. Similarly, this study found a significant positive relationship between subjective norms and personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control. Moreover, this study revealed that subjective norm have a moderate effect on entrepreneurial intention through personal attitude and perceived behavioral control. These results should serve as a guide for future theoretical and empirical development, and put existing study outcomes into perspective. Keywords: theory of planned behavior, entrepreneurial intention, personal attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control

“…In terms of indirect effects, PBC mediates the relationship among PPE, PFB, SN, PEU, and II. This observation aligns with the conclusions that propose that PBC serves as a mediator in the relationship between psychological capital and entrepreneurial intentions [75]. However, this finding contradicts the conclusions of researchers who argue that government involvement cannot influence investment intentions through PBC [62].…”

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) contributes to promoting green and low-carbon transformation in rural areas. In order to better guide rural households to invest in BIPV projects and promote the goal of “carbon neutrality” in China’s building sector, this study integrates the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the social cognitive theory (SCT), and the PEST analysis framework. It constructs a theoretical model from the perspective of “External Factors-Internal Psychology-Investment Intention” to investigate rural households’ investment intentions toward BIPV projects and their influencing factors. Basic data were collected from 488 valid questionnaires from rural households in Henan Province, and the theoretical model was empirically tested using structural equation modeling. The results show that the model constructed from both internal and external factors effectively explains rural households’ investment intentions (II) toward BIPV projects (R2 = 0.89), with investment attitude (IA) being the strongest psychological motivation leading to their II. All four external factors—policy, economic, social, and technological—positively influence II with diminishing effects. Additionally, the policy factor has the most significant effect on IA, while the economic factor has a more prominent effect on perceived behavioral control (PBC), and the technological factor has a relatively weaker effect on the two psychological factors. Furthermore, the four external factors indirectly influence investment intentions through the two psychological factors of IA and PBC, with the mediating effect of IA being higher than PBC. Based on the findings, this study proposes effective suggestions to enhance rural households’ investment intentions toward BIPV projects.

“…The research Intention is one of the basic foundations of a person for entrepreneurship which is balanced with confidence in himself which will have a good impact by creating new entrepreneurs (Hansfel & Puspitowati, 2020). The results obtained show the mediating role played by perceived behavioural control and subjective norms in the relationship between psychological capital and entrepreneurial intention (Flores, 2023). Subjective norm according to (Andika & Madjid, 2012) is an individual's perception of whether other people will support or not carry out the action.…”

This study aims to measure the effect of subjective norms, entrepreneurship education, on student entrepreneurial intentions mediated by self-efficacy. This paper proposes a resolution to these discrepancies and tests these hypotheses in a university setting. This type of research is quantitative research, which uses a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire that has been compiled I n several statements and is measured using a Likert scale of 1-5. The population used in this research is the 2020-2022 Management Study faculty of economic and business. The sampling technique used the Cochran formula which obtained 309 samples. This study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) which is run through AMOS 24 as an analysis tool. The results of the hypothesis test show that subjective norms have an effect on entrepreneurial intentions, while the entrepreneurship education variable has an effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Subjective norms affect entrepreneurial intentions mediated by self-efficacy. While very insightful, this paper is limited by the use of a within-subjects survey research design and the inherent limitations with such research. Additionally, using college students as respondents limits the ability to generalize the results to any population outside similar college-age populations.
