“…The results found that there is a significant correlation between the 2 variables. The findings confirmed the existing research which inferred that social valuation like family support and peer support induce entrepreneurial intention (Sanditov & Verspagen, 2011;Fatoki, 2010;Kalitanyi et al, 2016;Bagus et al, 2021;Sahban et al, 2016;Suharti & Sirine, 2021;Zafar et al, 2012). The support, guidance, and assistance provided by family members, friends, peers, and affiliates influence one's decision to venture into entrepreneurship.…”

Entrepreneurs play pivotal roles that affect the economy. These roles are job creation, wealth generation, economic growth, and innovation. According to WorldBank data, they account for around 90% of enterprises and more than half of all jobs in the globe. In emerging economies, formal SMEs account for up to 40% of national income (GDP). The prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in job losses have encouraged even the Filipino Generation Z to engage in entrepreneurial activities. This supports various studies conducted by research firms recently that 54% of Generation Z wanted to start their own business venture. Thus, this research aims to determine the influence of entrepreneurial attitude, social valuation, entrepreneurial skills, and entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intention. There were 110 Generation Z respondents who answered the adopted survey questionnaire. The researchers were able to secure permission from the original author to use the research instrument. The research utilized a quantitative research design primarily descriptive-correlational. The data were processed using regression analysis to test the relationship of variables. The regression results preceded the acceptance of the 4 hypotheses which means that entrepreneurial attitude, social valuation, entrepreneurial skills, and entrepreneurial knowledge significantly influence entrepreneurial intention. The results will be considerably useful to academics to promote entrepreneurship from high school to college level, to future entrepreneurs in identifying the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention, to the government and its regulators for policy development, and to researchers who plan to expand the literature on the entrepreneurial mind.

“…The entrepreneurship intentions of students are influenced by demographic factors (Father's occupation, Gender, Experience and Level of education) (Mohammad Ahmar Uddin, Shariq Mohammad, & Samir Hammami, 2016). Social values also have an impact on the entrepreneurship intentions (Kalitanyi & Visser, 2016). Harris and Gibson (2008) report that the role of the university is important for fostering students start-up activities.…”

The aim of this paper is to examine how university students perceive the selected attributes of university education quality in the context of their possible entrepreneurial activities and to explore the differences between genders in this regard. A total of 977 students from Czech and Slovak universities were surveyed. The Z-test for two population proportions was employed to test the hypotheses. The majority of university students positively perceived the quality of university education in general as well as the quality of education at their faculty. Approximately two thirds of the students in both countries agreed that the acquired knowledge may help them in their future entrepreneurship activities. Czech students perceived the quality of education more positively compared to their Slovak counterparts, despite the fact that they had lower entrepreneurial intention. This research shows there are differences in male and female students' views. In both countries, female students perceived the quality of education more positively, whereas male students declared a statistically higher interest in

Entrepreneurship programmes are supposedly designed to encourage and support individuals in starting and growing new businesses. However, whether these programs effectively promote entrepreneurial intent among participants is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of entrepreneurship programs in fostering actual entrepreneurial intention, practice, and outcomes. This study used qualitative and quantitative techniques to collect data from university students in the third and fourth years of an entrepreneurial programme. One hundred thirty-six out of one hundred and seventeen-three students in both groups participated, with 126 students taking the quantitative survey and 10 students engaging in the interviews. The quantitative data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical software, while the qualitative data was categorised according to themes. In as much as the participants and respondents acknowledge the usefulness of the skills acquired, they did not believe that entrepreneurship education on its own would positively influence their intentions to start a business, let alone make it a career. This research provides insight into entrepreneurship programs' efficacy and informs future efforts to promote entrepreneurship
