Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the significant factors influencing Malaysian university students' intentions to venture into business through entrepreneurship education.Malaysia is a developing nation has a high rate of unemployment among the young graduates emerging from the universities.The Malaysian government is taking great efforts in transforming into a knowledge-based economy, where the term 'entrepreneur' has been defined as one of its key elements.The problem is how to instil in the minds of students that they should venture into business instead seeking jobs.The literature probes into concepts and conceptualisations of the theories and has proposed a theoretical framework identifying the research issues and the research gap.The research design consists of developing a hypothetical framework with entrepreneurship education as the independent variables to test the dependent variable of entrepreneurial intentions.In addition, demographic characteristics, attitude factors and stakeholder support system factors act as mediating variables.The methodology employed is quantitative, which includes a random sample from final year students studying entrepreneurship as a subject curriculum from four entrepreneurial focused Malaysian universities.Data collection is proposed using questionnaire survey and analysed through SPSS version 22.0 and Structural Equation Modelling, AMOS version 22.0.
