Entrepreneurship education fostering entrepreneurial intentions: The serial mediation effect of resilience and opportunity recognition

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, drawing upon the self-determination theory. Specifically, it proposes a research model suggesting that the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions is sequentially mediated by resilience and opportunity recognition. To test the research model, data was collected from a sample of 962 undergraduate business students enrolled in nine universities in Vietnam. The results of our study demonstrate that entrepreneurship education has a positive association with entrepreneurial intentions, with this relationship being serially mediated by resilience and opportunity recognition. By shedding light on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, our research makes a significant contribution to the existing body of knowledge in this domain. Moreover, the practical implications of our findings extend to universities and policy makers, who can leverage this knowledge to enhance access to entrepreneurship education for students.
