“…The results of this study is consistent with the previous research [10,20,28] of who presented that selfefficacy and entrepreneurial intention is positively associated. However, the findings of this study is inconsistent with the previous research [30,31] who argued that selfefficacy does not have significant direct effect towards entrepreneurial intention.…”

“…In the United States, a similar relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention is presented. These authors [20] also revealed a positive correlation between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention among students who took the introductory to entrepreneurship course. This similar pattern of relationship is supported by [21] who conducted a study on entrepreneurial intention among 215 new undergraduate students in one reputable university in Indonesia.…”

Abstract. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention amongst engineering students from Public Higher Educational Institution (PHEI) in Malaysia. This study employs a quantitative method using the questionnaire instrument. Data is obtained from 345 respondents comprising of final year students from various public institutes of higher learning in Malaysia. Findings revealed that the students from these public institutes demonstrated a high interest in entrepreneurial intention (mean=3.67, SD=.54) and a moderate level of sel-efficacy (mean=3.22, SD=.71). Findings also pointed out that self-efficacy is significantly associated with entrepreneurial intention (β=.45, p<.01) as exhibited by the engineering students in these institutes. These findings further reinforces an element of Bandura Social Learning Theory which states that self-efficacy is able to influence the entrepreneurial intention amongst engineering students in public institutions. As a result, public instituitions can emphasize strategies to increase the degree of self-efficacy amongst students to enhance the level of entrepreneurial intention. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are also discussed along with recommendations for the further improvement of institution management.

“…Despite all the joint effort of the actors, often times training in entrepreneurship by HEI is not carried out adequately (Shinnar et al 2014;Moriano et al (2006) explain that there are "unintentional" social barriers that are based on the lack of support to student entrepreneurs, i.e., in many occasions teachers educate and treat their students as future employees and not entrepreneurs.…”

This paper presents a characterization of the entrepreneurial intention of university students in the city of Medellin. It is based on a quantitative methodological design from a self-administered questionnaire that was applied and validated to 879 students. This questionnaire collected data about the main factors reported in the Systemic Entrepreneurship Intention Model. Factors or components that describe behavior patterns when undertaking a new company were identified through a principal component and cluster analysis. The results identify two factors that explain most of the data variance: the first one is the perceived viability by students to carry out processes of new companies, and the second one is the convenience factor that brings the creation a company. Furthermore, three groups or clusters of students with common characteristics in their entrepreneurial intention were identified. First, the “entrepreneurs” are characterized by having a positive attitude and aptitude regarding entrepreneurship. The second group is “neutral” and they are subjects partially affected or indifferent about wanting to start a new company. Finally, the group of “non-entrepreneurs” is composed of individuals who showed behavior of apathy towards entrepreneurship.

“…The result for gender entails that males generally have higher intention to start a business than females. In relation to entrepreneurship, prior research indicates that one plausible explanation for this relatively lower zeal and self-efficacy is that women have less early career experience, social support and fewer role models than their male counterparts [73] [78].…”

The current paper contributes to the entrepreneurial intention (EI) literature by applying the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in a developing African country with unique socio-economic and cultural context. Thus it examines the influence of social norms, personal attitudes and perceived behavioural control on business start-up intentions. Based on a quantitative approach, primary survey data were collected from 306 final year undergraduate students at a public university. The data were analyzed using correlation and hierarchical regression techniques. Controlling for age, gender and field of study, the findings indicate that each of the attitudinal antecedents is significantly positively related to EI, with an overall R 2 = 0.543. For scholars, enterprise support practitioners and policy makers, the study shows that the TPB can be used to understand how to promote business start-up in developing countries with socio-economic and cultural contexts which are mostly different from developed countries where the subject is heavily researched. Specifically, mechanisms to develop entrepreneurial capabilities among citizens, improve societal norms and individual attitudes toward entrepreneurship would significantly promote entrepreneurship. The study also makes a valuable contribution to the under-researched context of Zambia and African entrepreneurship.
