“…The results obtained for the main constructs of the TPB model place us in line with other studies where ATB and PBC (Liñán et al 2011a;Vukovic et al 2017) have a high, direct, and positive effect over EI. Our model reveals ATB to be the construct which has the greatest effect over EI in accordance with other studies (Vukovic et al 2017), but no significant differences between the two environments were found (Canever et al 2017).…”

Entrepreneurial intention among online and face-to-face university students: The influence of structural and cognitive social capital dimensions

2020

This research attempts to understand how the influence of specific dimensions of social capital may or may not have different effects on student entrepreneurial intentions in Spanish university environments (online and face-to-face). Based on Ajzen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior, we attempt to integrate three elements of social capital (network ties as structural social capital, shared languages, and shared visions as cognitive social capital) to explain the significant or nonsignificant differences in entrepreneurial intentions between these two samples (online and face-to-face), given the role played by social capital in university environments and in the entrepreneurship process. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling has been employed to assess the research model and to perform multi-group analysis. Two non-parametric techniques have been used: Henseler's MGA and the permutation test. Before performing the multi-group analysis, measurement invariance was evaluated using measurement invariance of composite models, which is a new approach to partial least squares-structural equation modelling. The data is obtained from a sample of 302 online and 204 face-to-face university students (undergraduate and master students). Findings suggest that although social capital has significant influence on entrepreneurial intentions in both environments, it is greater in the online students group than in the face-to-face group. This is due to the influence of cognitive social capital (shared languages and shared visions) on entrepreneurial intentions through the

“…Besides, entrepreneurship is not only seen as an economic phenomenon, but it is also determined as a social one. Thus, social perspectives are often interested in entrepreneurship researches via some concepts such as social capital, social network, cognitive capital and human capital (Vuković et al, 2017). Indeed, the important role of social capital on forming business start-up intention has been determined in much research, but almost previous researches consider that the concept of social capital either is similarly to human capital or cognitive capital.…”

This study develops the model to estimate the links between social capital, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, perceived desirability and social entrepreneurial intention. Besides exploring the direct impacts of social capital, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and perceived desirability on social entrepreneurial intention, this study also focus on discovering the mediating roles of perceived desirability and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy on this relationship. Throughout adopting measures from some previous studies, the authors design the questionnaires and distribute to students in Vietnam. The study presents some demographic information of 289 students, who are studying at university and colleges in Vietnam. Then, the validity and reliability of scales are assessed using the value of Cronbach's alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In addition, by utilizing the structural modeling structure (SEM), the authors show that social capital plays the important role in shaping social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, perceived desirability, and social entrepreneurial intention. Interestingly, besides the direct effects on social entrepreneurial intention, perceived desirability and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy also mediate the correlation between social capital and social entrepreneurial intention. Also, with the interesting findings of the study, the authors propose several recommendations for policy-makers, educators and academics to promote the social entrepreneurship and innovation among Vietnamese students.

“…The influence and support from close friends and family can be much more crucial than other cultural norms in shaping the cognitive process of entrepreneurship among nascent entrepreneurs and their entrepreneurial self-efficacy (Baughn et al, 2006;Bhagavatula, Elfring, van Tilburg, & van de Bunt, 2010). Vuković, Kedmenec, Postolov, Jovanovski, and Korent (2017) postulate the investigation of correlations between social capital and the cognitive process of a business venture. Hence, I propose the following hypothesis: H7: Social capital positively affects (a) attitude towards entrepreneurship, (b) perceived behavioural control, (c) entrepreneurial self-efficacy and (d) entrepreneurial intention.…”

The objective of the article is to explore the specific underlying mechanisms in which contextual factors are internalised into students' cognitive process of entrepreneurship in Vietnam. Research Design & Methods:A quantitative study with a meta-analysis was conducted by utilising structural equation modelling (SEM). The sample consisted of 2218 final-year students from fourteen universities located in two major regions in Vietnam who were surveyed using stratified random sampling. Findings: Results revealed that social capital was not directly related to intention to become entrepreneurs, which had indirect and significant impact on start-up intention throughout attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. In addition, the regulatory dimension negatively affected entrepreneurial intention while the normative dimension positively promoted this intention. University education not only directly affected but also indirectly influenced entrepreneurial intention via antecedents of the theory of planned behaviour. The research also showed the mediating role of attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy between contextual factors and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. Implications & Recommendations:The study has several implications and practical recommendations for universities and policymakers in boosting business venturing activities among college students. Contribution & Value Added: The empirical evidence of the research supported the theoretical arguments, which specified the detailed mechanisms that contextual factors affect the cognitive process of business venture.
