“…However, Covin and Slevin (1990) discussed the three key characteristics of entrepreneurship, namely, innovativeness, risk taking, and proactiveness. Syed, Butler, Smith, and Cao (2020) revealed the presence of the mediating effect of innovativeness in the entrepreneurial passion to entrepreneurial intention relationship. Innovativeness can predict entrepreneurial intention among undergraduate students more accurately when compared with attitude towards entrepreneurship.…”

In recent years, entrepreneurs have become key drivers of business growth worldwide, since that time, entrepreneurial education has subsequently been garnering an increased level of interest. Entrepreneurship is considered to be a combination of both art and science, used to create value when targeting customers; however, there appears to be a myth when it comes to the recipe required for success. It was discovered by The Office of Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion that less than 10% of Thai small and medium entrepreneurial businesses were successful, while the global rate of success is close to 5 times higher than that of Thailand. Therefore, a better understanding of key success factors is necessary going forward. Typically, an entrepreneur's journey starts with entrepreneurial intention, opportunity recognition, business initiative creation, and resource assembly, if they are to start their venture successfully. Entrepreneurial intention is a prerequisite to entrepreneurial behavior, based on the theory of planned behavior. Subsequently, scholars are interested in the key factors which drive entrepreneurial intention. While innovativeness has been proven to be one of the critical factors within certain groups of the population, there is little empirical data on the causal relationship between innovativeness and entrepreneurial intention amongst undergraduate students. As such, this study has two main objectives: (1) to explore factors influencing innovativeness, attitudes towards entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial intentions of undergraduate students, and (2) to understand the causal relationship between innovativeness and entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students. The population of the study is comprised of undergraduate students from public universities and 330 effective responses were received in the survey. Based on the findings from confirmatory analysis and multiple regression, the empirical data is consistent with the theoretical measurement model for both innovativeness and entrepreneurial intention and (2) innovativeness can effectively predict entrepreneurial intention among undergraduate students.

This article aims to identify the impact of creativity on entrepreneurial intention with the mediating role of entrepreneurial passion. This study applied the SEM-structural equation modeling technique to test the hypotheses on a sample of 390 university students from Pakistan. The findings of the study revealed that creativity positively and significantly influenced entrepreneurial intention. The results also indicated that entrepreneurial passion partially mediates in the relationship between creativity and entrepreneurial intention. The results of the study made an innovative contribution to Pakistan's higher education sector, researchers, and policymakers to unlock the hidden potential of its youth and further contribute to designing the relevant practical implications.

“…Empirical studies on the effect of innovativeness on entrepreneurial intention are gaining attention in recent times. Many authors have found that innovativeness has a statistically significant relationship with entrepreneurial intentions (Syed et al 2020;Law and Breznik 2017;Ozaralli and Rivenburgh 2016;Dinis et al 2013;Wagner 2011;Gurel et al 2010). Xu et al (2016) found that innovativeness is a personality trait affecting Chinese secondary school students' entrepreneurial intentions.…”

This study examined the factors that affect the entrepreneurial intentions of university students in a developing economy. Drawing from the entrepreneurial orientation discourse and network approach, the study investigated the effect of innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, and network ties on students' entrepreneurial intention. The study was conducted using 720 students selected from both private and public universities in Ghana. Data were collected using an online survey and analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings reveal that individual entrepreneurial orientation dimensions of innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness influence entrepreneurial intentions. Also, the study found that network ties have a statistically significant effect on students' entrepreneurial intention. The type of university moderates the relationship between network ties, risk-taking behaviour, and entrepreneurial intentions. The findings of the study contribute to the development of policy and entrepreneurial education to enhance students' entrepreneurial intentions. Specifically, the findings imply that students' entrepreneurial development efforts must focus on their level of risk-taking behaviour, innovativeness, proactiveness, and network ties.
