Abstract

This study examines the relationships between risk-taking propensity (RTP), entrepreneurship education support (EES), need for achievement (NFA), and entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of Bangladeshi university students, as well as the mediating roles of attitude toward entrepreneurship (ATE), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC). Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the study was conducted with a sample of 381 respondents. Results show that attitudes play a mediating role in the relationship between RTP and EI, and RTP has a direct positive effect on attitudes toward entrepreneurship and EI. Although EES does not have a direct effect on EI, it does have a positive effect on all other components of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which in turn influences EI. Perceived behavioral control and attitudes toward entrepreneurship serve as full mediators of the EES-EI connection. Subjective norms, on the other hand, have no relationship with EI and do not serve as a mediator between the EES and EI relationship. However, NFA and EI do not have a direct relationship; NFA influences EI indirectly via perceived behavioral control, which in turn influences EI directly. This research contributes to the existing literature by offering significant theoretical and practical insights into the factors that influence entrepreneurial intentions among university students in developing economies.
影响创业意向的因素相互作用:孟加拉国的证据
本研究探讨了孟加拉国大学生的风险承担倾向 (RTP)、创业教育支持 (EES)、成就需要 (NFA) 和创业意向 (EI) 之间的关系,以及创业态度 (ATE)、主观规范 (SN) 和感知行为控制 (PBC) 的中介作用。研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM),以 381 名受访者为样本。结果表明,态度在 RTP 与 EI 的关系中起中介作用,RTP 对创业态度和 EI 有直接的积极影响。虽然 EES 对 EI 没有直接影响,但它对计划行为理论(TPB)的所有其他组成部分都有积极影响,而计划行为理论又反过来影响 EI。感知行为控制和创业态度是 EES-EI 联系的完全中介。另一方面,主观规范与创业精神没有关系,不能作为创业教育和创业精神关系的中介。然而,NFA 与 EI 并非直接相关;NFA 通过感知行为控制间接影响 EI,而感知行为控制又直接影响 EI。本研究为发展中经济体大学生创业意向的影响因素提供了重要的理论和实践启示,为现有文献做出了贡献。
