“…Over the past few decades, the study of sustainability in entrepreneurship holds paramount position (Sargani et al , 2020; Fayolle et al , 2014; lakovleva et al , 2011; Usaci, 2015; Koe et al , 2014). The researchers have tried to administer different studies focusing on the sustainable entrepreneurship, but the area of sustainable entrepreneurship has been under-researched, especially in the developing markets.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the drivers of sustainable entrepreneurship intention (SEI) among university students in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach A survey-based methodology was used to collect the data from the participants. Further, this study used covariance-based structural equation modeling to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The findings of this study confirm that the model of sustainable entrepreneurship is effective as it explains 83% variance to predict SEI among the students. Originality/value This research has contributed to the literature of sustainable entrepreneurship and proposed valuable insights in understanding the influence of sustainability education, sustainability attitude, self-efficacy and self-identity on SEI.

“…That implies a percentage increase in entrepreneurial intention over the mean of 26.21 per cent for the effect of financial capital, 20.69 per cent for the effect of education, 1.81 per cent for the effect of the work experience and 2.37 per cent for the effect of cultural capital. Approximately, it is also possible to estimate its impact on expected entrepreneurial activity, considering several studies that have analysed this relationship focusing on students' entrepreneurship (Rauch and Hulsink, 2015;Usaci, 2015), and on companies' entrepreneurship (Kautonen et al, 2015). These studies estimated the impact coefficient of entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behaviour.…”

Purpose Based on the theory of planned behaviour and the resource-based perspective, the purpose of this paper is to provide a well-supported explanation of how access to resources, defined as those controlled by the family context and not necessarily controlled by the student, changes attitudes, subjective norms and perceived control and, consequently, the entrepreneurial intentions of secondary students. Design/methodology/approach In contrast to traditional research methodologies, this study used a different approach based on primary survey data collected from secondary students to study future entrepreneurial intentions. Structural equation models were used in the empirical analysis. Findings Secondary students with more access to resources – financial and human capital – have stronger entrepreneurial intentions because they have more favourable attitudes and subjective norms, and greater perceived behavioural control. This study finds that cultural capital has no significant impact on entrepreneurial intention. Practical implications Key policy actions should increase access to resources for young people. Originality/value This study shows that the effect of access to resources on entrepreneurial intention is mediated by attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioural control. The results suggest that the relationship between access to resources and entrepreneurial intentions is more complex and nuanced than previously thought.

“…The relationship testing was based on similar relationship comparisons as utilized by various international studies. It has also been ensured that response diversity with regard to respondents' background is multivariate so as to have a close estimate of student entrepreneurial landscape within and across Pakistan (Usaci 2015). The primary analysis used was a CFA along structural model fit.…”

Interdependent relationships among various psychological factors are instrumental in shaping university students’ general behavior toward entrepreneurship. Our study explored these relationships and their contingent and moderating effects through various factors, such as need for achievement, self-control, and relational support, and how they influence entrepreneurial behavior, given the presence of variables like entrepreneurial intention, creativity, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, educational support, and personal attitudes. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire circulated among 300 respondents from two top-tier universities in Pakistan, followed by tests of reliability and validity both in SPSS and AMOS. The relationship testing was done through structural equation modeling using AMOS interpreted in terms of Alpha (at three significance levels) and Beta values for more regressed relationship testing. Results showed: a) significant behavioral tendencies of university students towards entrepreneurial behavior; b) the mediating effect of need for achievement was not significant among entrepreneurial intention and behavior relationship (however, this effect was significant when tested directly among these two variables); c) the moderating effect of self-control on the underlining variables was significant as a whole except for educational support; and d) relational support proved to moderate the relationship between personal attitudes and entrepreneurial behavior.
