“…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. For example, as stated by [30] when individuals have a high selfefficacy, this will increase their commitment towards entrepreneurship and lead to greater motivation to start a business.…”

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.

“…In pursuit of exploring the various reasons for a person's choice of entrepreneurship, the important model/theories constructing the ideology are-the 'Entrepreneurial Intentions Model' (EIM) has been instrumental in divulging the key role played by behavioural and psychological construct in explaining the entrepreneurial intention (Krueger, 1993;Krueger and Brazeal, 1994;Krueger et al, 2000;Elfving et al, 2009, Ferreira et al, 2012; the 'Theory of Planned Behavior' (TPB) expounds the intention to be driven by perceptions of self, regarding personal and social desirability of behaviour and an underlying acuity of whether they can effectively perform such actions (Ajzen, 1988;1991;Karimi et al, 2013) and Shapero's 'Theory of the Entrepreneurial Event' (Shapero, 1975;Shapero and Sokol, 1982;Elfving et al, 2009) unearthed that each entrepreneurial event is a result of dynamic process, which provides a situational momentum impacting the perception of those whose values are socially and culturally driven (Thurik and Dejardin, 2012) and a result of previous experience. When younger generations are desirous of venturing out into their own business, family firms become the stepping stone for access to existing resources and honing their skills by expertise gained from family firm practices over many years' (Moores and Barrett, 2002;Barrett and Moores, 2010), hence creating in them the desirability to become a business owner in future course of action.…”

Among the states of India, the State of Gujarat in India presents numerous opportunities for entrepreneurship. This is the result of entrepreneurship ingrained in the culture and tradition of Gujarat. The significant aspect examined in this article is the link between family and women entrepreneurs in Gujarat. Evidences has been gathered from six cities of Gujarat covering Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western and Central zones to portray the overall picture of Gujarat. The findings from the evidence is to be further explored and utilized for the betterment and upliftment of women entrepreneurs in India, as women lose out on self-sufficient job opportunities because of the traditional practice of disallowing women to work outside their homes and with strangers. Entrepreneurship, with the existing support and promotional measures in training and retaining skills in becoming an entrepreneur can go a long way for the nation and empowering women.

“…Those classic models of intention, however, build on a linear relationship: a set of personal and situational factors is filtered through social norms and lead to a person's intentions. Elfring (Elfring, 2008;Elfring, Brännback, & Carsrud, 2009) proposed a dynamic model: the contextual model of entrepreneurial intention. The model takes it into consideration that entrepreneurs change over time and that theirs goals, motivation, behavior, perception, and self-efficacy adapt as the entrepreneur progresses in his career.…”
