“…Similarly, we found a positive effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on social entrepreneurial intention. Our results were consistent with other empirical investigations, supporting the important role of self-efficacy as a predictor of both entrepreneurial intentions (Paço et al, 2011;Shook & Bratianu, 2008) and social entrepreneurial intentions (Urban & Teise, 2015). Some researchers (Krueger & Brazeal, 1994; An examination of certain antecedents of social entrepreneurial intentions among Mexico residents Urban & Teise, 2015) consider self-efficacy as a fundamental factor among potential and novice entrepreneurs.…”

“…Self-efficacy is one of the fundamental prerequisites for potential entrepreneurs (Krueger & Brazeal, 1994), given that in certain contexts most novice entrepreneurs do not have enough business experience (Luthans & Ibrayeva, 2006). Results from empirical investigations have shown that self-efficacy is a predictor of entrepreneurial intention (Barbosa, Gerhardt, & Kickul, 2007;Paço, Ferreira, Raposo, Rodrigues, & Dinis, 2011;Shook & Bratianu, 2008). Similarly, research has also shown that self-efficacy is one of the factors that best explain social entrepreneurship intentions (Urban & Teise, 2015).…”

Purpose -The purpose of our investigation is threefold. First, we assess the role of sustainable and social values as precursors of social innovation orientation, while taking into account interests as to financial returns. Second, we examine the role of social innovation orientation as an antecedent of a social entrepreneurship attitude. Third, we examine how attitude, subjective norms and entrepreneurship self-efficacy influence intentions of beginning a social entrepreneurship venture among Mexico residents.Design/methodology/approach -We conducted 745 surveys among low-income Mexico residents who expressed interest in initiating a social entrepreneurship venture. We used structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized model.Findings -Results showed the positive influence of social values on social innovation orientation, while taking into account the influence of financial interests. Social innovation orientation, an attitude toward social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and subjective norms were identified as positive predictors of social entrepreneurial intentions.Originality/value -The paper provides useful information about the importance of values to understanding social innovation orientation and social entrepreneurship intentions.

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships between attitude towards behaviour, subjective norm and entrepreneurial intention among engineering students from Public Higher Educational Institution (PHEI) in Malaysia. This research is carried out by using the quantitative method (questionnaire). Data are gathered from 345 respondents which consisted of the final year students from one PHEI in Malaysia. Results presented that entrepreneurial intention are positively associated with attitude towards behaviour (β=.62, p<.01) and subjective norm (β=.25, p<.01). Thus, it is confirmed that both factors of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), namely attitude towards behaviour and subjective norm are significantly related to entrepreneurial intention among the engineering students in this institution. Elevating the degree of attitude towards behaviour and subjective norm are the best strategies to enhance the level of entrepreneurial intention among the engineering students in this institution. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed. In this line, recommendations for the institution management are provided

“…Thus, in entrepreneurship education literature, primary and secondary school has received growing attention and enterprise education programmes in secondary school were confirmed to be important for later entrepreneurial intentions. It is believed that the ideal stage to acquire basic knowledge about entrepreneurship and to foster a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship is during childhood and adolescence years Paço et al, 2011a;Paço et al, 2011b).…”
