“…Our results are similar to the revised model shows that better explains Ajzen IE (Maes et al, 2014;Valencia et al, 2015;Lanero et al, 2015;López Vidal, 2013). It is interesting to note that IE literature includes studies where SN does not appear as significant.…”

“…There is a growing interest in research focused in women entrepreneurship (Wilson et al, 2007;BarNir, Watson & Hutchins, 2011;Karimi et al, 2013;Mueller & Conway, 2013;Maes et al, 2014). Liñán & Fayolle (2015) found that 30 of 409 papers published between 2004 and 2013 (inclusive) linked with EI were related with gender issues.…”

“…This is the reason gender could be tested as a moderator for the three dimensions on the TPB model. Maes et al (2014), conclude than women choose not to become entrepreneurs because they perceived lack of locus of internal control or of self-efficacy. So, gender is assumed to also have a moderating effect on the impact of EI.…”

This research is based on the responses to a questionnaire applied to 351 students of business management in Chile and Colombia. Through the analysis of structural equations on Ajzen's model, we found that entrepreneurial education, the University environment, and the prior entrepreneurial exposure are mediated by the factors of the Ajzen`s model to generate entrepreneurial intention in higher education students. The results show that entrepreneurial education strengthens the perceived control of behavior and, with it, albeit in a differentiated way, the entrepreneurial intention of men and women. University environment affects entrepreneurial intention through attitude towards entrepreneurship; and finally, the work experience, used as one of the variables that measure prior entrepreneurial exposure, explains the entrepreneurial intention inversely through the subjective norms. We found that gender has a moderate effect on perceived control of behavior and entrepreneurial education. The scarce studies on the impact of the University environment and the mixed results of the entrepreneurial education and prior entrepreneurial exposure toward entrepreneurial intention show the necessity for further research. A second contribution is the opportunity to present new evidence about the relationship between University environment, entrepreneurial education and prior exposure to developing countries of South America, including the gender effect (moderator) for entrepreneurial intention. It is important to note that most of the research in this area applies to developed countries, and some scholars suggest that extrapolating the results is not convenient.

“…Various studies have shown that women choose to become entrepreneurs less often because they usually perceive a smaller locus of internal control and smaller self-efficacy (Maes, Leroy, & Sels, 2014). In the same way, some studies have found that women are more prone to attribute their success to the external locus rather than to their own ability or effort (Verheul, Thurik, Grilo, & Zwan, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to determine if entrepreneurial intention, based on Ajzen's model of planned behavior (1991), can be predicted by risk propensity, internal locus of control and leadership skills. Six standardized and reliable instruments were applied to 1493 undergraduate university business students in Latin American countries, selected through non-random quota sampling in accordance with their formation level in each of the five participating universities. Using structural equation techniques, the research model was validated and intention estimated and analyzed in relation to a set of socio-demographic variables. According to the results, entrepreneurial intention can be significantly predicted by the psychological variables under consideration and, contrary to what has been reported in other research, no gender differences were found in the intention of entrepreneurship. These findings are discussed. ResumenEl propósito de este estudio fue determinar si la intención de emprendimiento, basada en el modelo de comportamiento planeado de Ajzen (1991), puede predecirse a partir de la propensión al riesgo, el locus de control interno y las habilidades de liderazgo. Se aplicaron seis instrumentos estandarizados y confiables a 1493 estudiantes latinoamericanos deáreas empresariales, utilizando un muestreo no probabilístico por cuota según año de formación en cada universidad. A través de ecuaciones estructurales se validó el modelo de investigación propuesto y se estimó y analizó la intención en relación con las variables sociodemográficas. De acuerdo con los resultados, la intención de emprendimiento puede predecirse significativamente con las variables psicológicas estudiadas y contrario a lo hallado en otros estudios no se encontraron diferencias por género. Se discuten estos hallazgos.

This study uses the theory of planned behavior, and social cognitive career theory, to examine the effect of entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial mindset, and cognitive mediators on entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial competencies. Adopting a cross‐sectional design, it uses data from 290 university students, from a variety of academic backgrounds, to test several hypotheses using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results show that entrepreneurial education and cognitive mediators are critical for stimulating entrepreneurial behavior. The results also show that entrepreneurial mindset is formed from entrepreneurial education, and that it plays a vital role in driving entrepreneurial intention. Finally, our results indicate that entrepreneurial passion is a moderator that shapes self‐efficacy and attitudes towards entrepreneurship. These findings offer insights that could act as a reference point for academicians, educators, or anyone else who engages in creating or expanding knowledge related to entrepreneurship.
