Tourism students’ entrepreneurial intentions in Vietnam: Integration of educational factors, entrepreneurial personality and innovativeness

Abstract

The study investigates the relationship between educational factors (theoretical and empirical training), entrepreneurial personality (need for achievement, locus of control, risk propensity), innovativeness, and the entrepreneurial intentions from 399 students studying in tourism major from universities in Vietnam. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model. The study results suggest that, although educational factors do not directly affect the students’ entrepreneurial intentions, they have an indirect effect mediated via innovativeness. Educational factors also directly impact students’ entrepreneurial personalities and innovativeness, which further impacts their entrepreneurial intentions.
