The relationship between exposure to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial self-efficacy

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate whether students with different levels of exposure to entrepreneurship education would perceive their own entrepreneurial self-efficacy differently from those without such exposure, and whether there is a relationship between perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intent. The study was carried out by means of a survey. The sample consisted of 355 final-year commerce students from two South African universities based in rural provinces, namely the Eastern Cape and Limpopo. SPSS was used to analyse the data. The results revealed that students who had had exposure to entrepreneurship education were statistically significantly different from those who had not in terms of the way in which they perceived their own entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy had a statistically significant relationship with entrepreneurial intent.
