Abstract
Abstract Drawing on social cognitive theory, we developed a research model in which entrepreneurial alertness mediates the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions, and this process is moderated by resilience. The data for our research model were collected from 612 undergraduate students majoring in business from six universities in Vietnam. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. Our findings reveal a positive association between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, and this association is mediated by entrepreneurial alertness. Additionally, resilience is found to moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial alertness and entrepreneurial intentions. Our study advances the stream of research on entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions and provides important practical implications for universities and policy makers to facilitate access to entrepreneurship education for students.
