“…Some researchers have defined ESE as entrepreneurs’ self-confidence regarding particular tasks (Baron and Markman, 1999; Baum et al , 2001; Boyd and Vozikis, 1994), while others have described ESE as an individual’s confidence in his/her personal ability to accomplish the entrepreneurial process (Chen et al , 1998; Segal et al , 2005). The linkage between ESE and intention to engage in business venture has been considered in many prior studies (Ahmed et al , 2020; Doanh and Bernat, 2019; Tsai et al , 2014). For example, when undergraduate and graduate students have a high ESE, they also have high intention engaging in business venture (Chen et al , 1998; Liñán et al , 2011; Shinnar et al , 2014) and even high entrepreneurial behavior (Neto et al , 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that integrated insights from Shapero and Sokol (1982)’s model of entrepreneurial event, Bandura (1977)’s social learning theory and clinical psychology to empirically test and discover the underlying mechanism of how attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) symptoms can influence student entrepreneurial intention. Design/methodology/approach The study uses structural equation modeling with a sample of 2,218 students from 14 universities in Vietnam. Findings The research reveals that although ADHD symptoms are not found to have the direct role in shaping student perceived feasibility entrepreneurial intention, these psychiatric symptoms have more influences and significances in the growth of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived desirability. Also, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived desirability are found to be full mediators in ADHD symptoms and entrepreneurial intention linkage. Besides, both perceived desirability and perceived feasibility partially mediate the entrepreneurial self-efficacy effect on entrepreneurial intention. Practical implications The findings provide policymakers and universities with important insights into how to nurture intention to become entrepreneurs among college students, especially those individuals. Originality/value The present study offers a new insight about the linkage between ADHD symptoms and entrepreneurial intention. Also, the model of entrepreneurial event and the social learning theory are shown to be unifying theoretical construct of the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students.

“…For example, the influence of personal traits, entrepreneurial education, educational or gender difference on the entrepreneurial intention. However, the underlying mechanism of the relationship between perceived educational supports at universities and entrepreneurial intention is not clearly explained [1] although several recent studies also consider the relationships between university factors and entrepreneurial intention (e.g. Sieger & Monsen [2] , Urbano et al.…”

This article illustrates the dataset that explores the effects of perceived educational supports on entrepreneurial self-efficacy, attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. The scales from previous studies were adopted to develop the questionnaires using the five-Likert scale. 2218 fulfilled responses were included in the sample, which recruited from fourteen universities in Vietnam with the similar index. Also, a quantitative method was utilized to examine the dataset. Cronbach's alpha was used to test the reliability of each construct, then explore factory analysis was employed to estimate factor loadings of each observed variables and the validity and discrimination of variables was tested through confirmatory factor analysis. Then, the structural equation modelling was used to estimate the effects of perceived educational support on entrepreneurial intention as well as the other paths.

“…So, social capital can be defined as the totality of both actual and potential support resources implanted within, that is available and drives from the social networks and relationships (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998). In addition, the effects of social capital on entrepreneurial intention has been investigated in some prior studies (Doanh & Bernat, 2019;Liñán & Santos, 2007;De Carolis et al, 2009;Schlaegel & Koenig, 2014).…”

This study develops the model to estimate the links between social capital, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, perceived desirability and social entrepreneurial intention. Besides exploring the direct impacts of social capital, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and perceived desirability on social entrepreneurial intention, this study also focus on discovering the mediating roles of perceived desirability and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy on this relationship. Throughout adopting measures from some previous studies, the authors design the questionnaires and distribute to students in Vietnam. The study presents some demographic information of 289 students, who are studying at university and colleges in Vietnam. Then, the validity and reliability of scales are assessed using the value of Cronbach's alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In addition, by utilizing the structural modeling structure (SEM), the authors show that social capital plays the important role in shaping social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, perceived desirability, and social entrepreneurial intention. Interestingly, besides the direct effects on social entrepreneurial intention, perceived desirability and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy also mediate the correlation between social capital and social entrepreneurial intention. Also, with the interesting findings of the study, the authors propose several recommendations for policy-makers, educators and academics to promote the social entrepreneurship and innovation among Vietnamese students.
