“…Fietze and Boyd [29] found that students prefer a career as employee showing a low EI. Henley et al [30] argued that Leadership skills, indicative of bridging cognitive social capital, are found to be strongly and significantly associated with entrepreneurial intentions through the mediating role of the core TPB constructs.…”

The current research aims to propose a framework of the effects of behavioral factors of theory of planned behavior and psychological traits factors on students' entrepreneurial intention, measuring the size of effect, the circumstances under which the effect is clearly observed and studying the weighted effect of each of the behavior and traits elements. A questionnaire was adopted from previous studies and directed to students in the Egyptian universities. A total number of 430 respondents were considered and data were analyzed using AMOS through conducting SEM models for examining the effect of behavior and traits. Results showed that there is a significant effect of attitude toward behavior on students' entrepreneurial intention, while there is an insignificant effect of traits.

“…The degree of entrepreneurship of a region is linked to its economic prosperity and this is why policy makers are especially focused on fostering entrepreneurial activities, particularly among young people [4]. In this regard, entrepreneurial education has emerged as an important tool for that objective [5,6]. However, education currently offered in most countries does not promote, as it should, entrepreneurship or endow students with the much-needed "soft skills" such as leadership, responsibility, communication skills, or proactivity.…”

This paper examines the impact of entrepreneurial education on intention to undertake entrepreneurial activity in the future. The study is based on a sample of 208 engineering students. Specifically, we explore the contingent effect of social norms on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and intention to undertake entrepreneurial activity, as well as the role of social norms on the association between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. We utilize a comprehensive questionnaire distributed among engineering students. Our findings indicate that entrepreneurial education is positively associated with the intention to undertake entrepreneurial activity, in addition to demonstrating a positive moderation effect role of social norms on the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. The study provides empirical support to devise new educational initiatives that can further support students and young entrepreneurs in their current or future entrepreneurial projects

“…This variable was recoded to a dummy variable (0 = no entrepreneurial parents, 1 = entrepreneurial parents). The family background plays an important role in students' career choices and, subsequently, in their entrepreneurial intention (Fietze and Boyd 2017). Previous research has shown that a higher proportion of students from families with self-employed parents choose to become entrepreneurs (Laspita et al 2012).…”

The European Commission considers the following groups of entrepreneurs: females, family businesses, liberal professions, migrants, and seniors. Disabled people are not included, and this paper could, therefore, open up a new field of research and an important issue to be considered among the European Union’s social objectives. The University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) in Spain provides an entrepreneurship education course, “Entrepreneurship and disability,” for disabled students. It is the first time that a course with these characteristics has been taught at a Spanish University, which signifies that there is no similar research of this nature. Keeping in mind its originality, this study makes an important contribution to the field. The main objective is to analyze whether the motivation to start up a business differs between students with disabilities and those without. We analyzed “before” and “after” data in order to test the potential impact of entrepreneurship education on the students’ entrepreneurial attitude. An analysis of variance with several demographic variables has allowed us to prove that the education that students received, their business experience, and their field of study have significant effects. This statistical test showed no significant differences between disabled and non-disabled students.
