“…Some scholars state that samples of students are rather common in entrepreneurship studies (Autio et al, 2001;Krueger et al, 2000;Liñán & Chen, 2009). However, it is argued that undergraduate students, aged from 25 to 34-years old, often have the highest intention to run their own business (Qiao & Hua, 2019). Indeed, the study only focused on final-year students because they are interested in career choice after graduation at this stage; thus, their start-up intention is likely to be at its highest in the final studying year at university (Autio et al, 2001).…”

“…The contributions this research make to entrepreneurship literature are shown in two manners: Firstly, the moderating role of entrepreneurial selfefficacy on the links between attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention are presented, while prior studies are only interested in the direct or mediating effects of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on start-up intention (Chen et al, 1998;Markman et al 2002;Qiao & Hua, 2019;Naktiyok et al, 2010;Shahab et al, 2019;Segal el at., 2005;Tsai et al, 2014). Secondly, while a body of prior studies only focused on exploring the direct link between subjective norms and entrepreneurial intention (Engle et al, 2010;Liñán et al, 2011), this study presents the indirect effect of subjective norms on entrepreneurial intention through attitude towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioral control.…”

“…External stimulation plays a vital role in repairing and developing college students' entrepreneurial values, which usually includes three levels: the society, the school, and the family (Baek, 2018;Syam et al, 2018;Qiao and Huang, 2019). At the social level, China has created an excellent hardware environment for college students to start their businesses, with policy supports in personnel agency fees, social security subsidies, and entrepreneurship training.…”
