“…In experiential learning, students can be presented with technologies that companies actually use and collaborate with mentors, consumers and clients. Hence, university professors have a very important role to play in promoting an entrepreneurial environment and culture because they have significant influence on students' behaviour in terms of entrepreneurial career intention (Rahman et al, 2020), since they can establish relationships with the employees of companies. Such relationships can contribute to entrepreneurship because students can learn to solve problems creatively, taking real data as a reference and test their ability to face challenges and the possibility of failure through an iterative problem-solving process.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to verify some relationships between entrepreneurial attitude, university environment, entrepreneurial culture and entrepreneurial training, which can be used to promote entrepreneurship among university students.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 3,005 questionnaires answered by students from ten universities in Colombia was gathered and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used for the analysis.FindingsThe results show that the more a student perceives an entrepreneurial culture and the more training he or she receives, the more entrepreneurial attitude he or she will have. Also, it was found that entrepreneurial culture has a positive effect on university environment, and the latter has a positive effect on entrepreneurial training.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation of this study was that only ten Colombian universities were sampled; therefore, general inferences cannot be made. Additionally, the variables investigated here may have not accurately measured the full scale of the entrepreneurship programmes in such universities or the way the culture of these institutions had a direct impact on students. Projects such as the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS), which measure variables related to entrepreneurship at the university level, enable universities to shape their policies around this important topic. This study indicates that universities should offer training in entrepreneurial, problem-solving and communication skills to produce entrepreneurs who can better face current challenges.Originality/valueOther studies have discussed entrepreneurial culture, but they usually deal with university environment, entrepreneurial training and entrepreneurial attitudes separately. This study integrates all these factors and measures the level of interaction between them.

“…TPB is the prominent theoretical paradigm (Ajzen, 1991) that explains how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence human behavior (Al-Jubari, 2019;Ambad et al, 2016;Soon et al, 2016). In TPB, the self-desire to proactively perform a behavior is evaluated by the feature of attitude toward behavior (Onyeukwu & Padmavathi, 2019), which is influenced by one's perception and expectation about the behavior's personal consequences (Rahman et al, 2020). The subjective norm is said to be based on the level of incentive in the social environment (Bagheri & Pihie, 2014), while personal ability to carry out the business planning process is perceived control over the intention (Miriti, 2020).…”

“…The TPB is based on Fishbein and Ajzen (1975), and Ajzen and Fishbein (1980) Theory Reasoned Action, and is among the most extensively utilized and recognized theory in entrepreneurial intention research (Al-Jubari, 2019). It is one of the most widely quoted and clarified theories for explaining, predicting, and changing human social behavior (Hamiruzzaman et al, 2020;Rahman et al, 2020;Vamvaka et al, 2020). TPB is the prominent theoretical paradigm (Ajzen, 1991) that explains how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence human behavior (Al-Jubari, 2019;Ambad et al, 2016;Soon et al, 2016).…”

“…Thus, entrepreneurial education and the development of entrepreneurial knowledge are linked. Indeed, the primary goal of entrepreneurship education is to raise student knowledge of entrepreneurship (Abdullah & Sulaiman, 2013), provide opportunities for students to acquire entrepreneurial skills (Rahman et al, 2020), teach students how to apply theory with practice, and promote entrepreneurship as a career route (Miriti, 2020). In the context of agro-business, improved agricultural knowledge and comprehension influences an individual's decision to pursue a career in agriculture (Mohavedi et al, 2013).…”

“…Universities are creating an increasing number of graduates, which adds to the unemployment rate each year (Sher et al, 2017). Besides, unemployment among university graduate students is one of the key challenges confronting many governments in developing (Miriti, 2020) and emerging countries including Malaysia (Rahman et al, 2020). The problem of graduate unemployment has prompted policymakers and government authorities to raise awareness about the value of entrepreneurship (Otchengco & Akiate, 2021), which is important for society’s progress and well-being (Hamiruzzaman et al, 2020), economic growth and development, as it creates jobs and influences innovation (Miriti, 2020).…”

This study empirically examines how graduate students’ attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, knowledge, and acceptance of agro-business influence student intention to start agro-entrepreneurship and the moderating effect of gender and faculty on the relationship among the factors based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. The study adopted the cross-sectional design from 300 public university students. The results of the study revealed that attitude toward agro-entrepreneurship, perceived behavioral control, and acceptance of agro-entrepreneurial exert a positive and significant effect on agro-entrepreneurial intention among university students. Moreover, the gender-based multiple group analysis revealed that male graduate students accept more agro-business than female students. Thus, policy makers can facilitate the promotion of agro-entrepreneurship among graduate students. Based on Theory of Planned Behavior, this study improves our understanding on university students’ agro-entrepreneurial intention in Malaysia. Finally, the discussion, recommendations and conclusion of the study are discussed in the research paper.
