Assessing the role of creativity and motivation to measure entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention

Abstract

PurposeThe study aims to investigate the association between Entrepreneurial Education (EE) and Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) and the multiple mediation model of Creativity and Entrepreneurial Motivation (EM).Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a sample of 300 students who have studied entrepreneurial development courses (short-term and vocational courses) from higher educational institutes located in four States of Northern India. The data were analyzed by employing the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique.FindingsThe investigation revealed that EE has a significant association with EM and EI but not with creativity. It is also seen that EM facilitates the affiliation between EE and EI, but creativity does not.Practical implicationsThe investigation results help the Institution, Policymakers, Government, to include entrepreneurial activities in their programs.Originality/valueEE primary objective is to develop skills and knowledge that can propel them into a journey of EI and entrepreneurship. Although EE and EI have studied at large, there is hardly any study that talks about motivation, creativity and practicality in their program.

Assessing the impact of entrepreneurial education activity on entrepreneurial intention and behavior: role of behavioral entrepreneurial mindset

“…Entrepreneurship education can alter students' perceptions about the difficulties of starting their own business, a concept known as perceived behavioral control (Alferaih 2022). It is therefore supposed that one's intentions are what drives one to perform a certain action and that one's intentions can be affected as well as evaluating educational programs in terms of their impact on entrepreneurial behavior, which is defined as conduct targeted toward starting a business (Paliwal et al 2022). As the term "entrepreneurship" has been defined in various ways, the goals of entrepreneurship education also have varied.…”

A citizen-centric approach to understand the effectiveness of e-government web portals: Empirical evidence from India

“…In this investigation, first, primary data were collected from Indian citizens using an online survey question developed collected from May 2021 to July 2021. Citizens were requested to engage in the research process via email, and the questionnaire was posted on several social media sites such as LinkedIn, Research Gate, and Facebook, with potential respondents being directed to the website to complete the survey (Paliwal et al, 2022;Singh et al, 2022). There were three sections to the survey questionnaire.…”

Green entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia: shaping the landscape of the greener economy

“…Consequently, there are some gaps in the above literature that need to be filled. Previous studies have concentrated mainly on the direct effects of factors such as GES, entrepreneurial competency, GESE, entrepreneurial education, GOs, EI, innovation, EM, entrepreneurial tasks, GIs, AoC, green performance, entrepreneurial competencies, green innovations, green responsiveness and capital (human, social and psychological) (Rajabi et al, 2018;Bag and Gupta, 2020;Rajapakse et al, 2022;Paliwal et al, 2022;Lingappa et al, 2023). However, in the direct or indirect presence of GESE, these associations are not concentrated enough (Nowi nski et al, 2019;Soomro et al, 2020a, b;Hussain et al, 2021;Jiatong et al, 2021;Mia et al, 2022;Li and Kang, 2022;Tran et al, 2023;Lingappa et al, 2023;Al Shammre et al, 2023).…”

“…We applied quantitative methods due to their validity and reliability through numbers, logic and an objective stance (Heale and Twycross, 2015). From the GE perspective, several scholars, like Rajabi et al (2018), Soomro et al (2020a, b), Rajapakse et al (2022), Paliwal et al (2022) and Lingappa et al (2023), have applied the quantitative assessment with numerous factors to investigate GE. We applied Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 26.0 software since it offered several capabilities and features that eased robust statistical modeling (Chatterjee et al, 2021).…”

“…Factors, such as subjective norms, attitudes and perceived behaviors, control and mediate the association between perceived EM and EI (Solesvik, 2013). Entrepreneurial education has a positive and significant effect on EM and EI (Paliwal et al. , 2022).…”
