Green entrepreneurship intention in university students: The case of Peru

Abstract

The aim is to better understand how education supports green entrepreneurship among students by analyzing their education development support, institutional support, country support, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Research Design & Methods: A total of 320 international business students in Peru filled the online survey. Eight questions focused on demographic information, and twenty-six questions evaluated the green entrepreneurship intention of students. We used the SEM-PLS technical analysis. Findings: We found that education development support (EDS; 0.146), institutional support (IS; 0.183), and country support (CS; 0.158) had a positive influence on entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), while ESE had a positive influence (0.757) on the green entrepreneurial intention (GEI). The model explained 57.3% of the green entrepreneurial intention. Findings of the bootstrapping test showed that the path coefficients were significant.Implications & Recommendations: This study showed the impact of education development support, institutional support, and country support on entrepreneurs' ability to successfully carry out green entrepreneurship, which will serve universities to implement strategic plans to achieve their ecological ventures and develop such ventures on campus with the students that have the necessary skills. Contribution & Value Added:The research findings will prove helpful to governments in establishing new norms to promote entrepreneurship. The novelty of the current study is supported in using the PLS-SEM technique.

Responsible Management in the Hotel Industry: An Integrative Review and Future Research Directions

“…By analogy, intentions to implement responsible management practices remain unexplored as well. Considering the large number of schools and colleges specialized in educating personnel for the hotel industry on one hand, and a considerable body of literature existing already on students' intentions related to responsible management [170] on the other hand, we see it is necessary to develop research on hotel industry-specific education for responsible management. Therefore, we recommend future research to analyze the process of forming responsible practices within the hotel sector, starting already from hotel management schools and colleges.…”

Entrepreneurial education, government policies and programmes, and entrepreneurial behaviour: A serial moderated mediation model

“…In this respect, both Europe and Asia are lagging behind North America (the USA in particular), where entrepreneurship education has been implemented into secondary education curricula and the majority of American uni-versities offer compulsory or optional entrepreneurship courses (Guzmán & Liñán, 2005;Androniceanu et al, 2021). However, entrepreneurship education is facing contemporary civilization challenges, including economic challenges and facing new trends in green entrepreneurship and climate protection (Alvarez-Risco et al 2021). To some extent, the challenging issues in entrepreneurial activity are covered within entrepreneurial systems of managerial training (Mishchuk et al, 2022), particularly, due to the reason of lack of entrepreneurial knowledge, sometimes even for the business owners (Civelek et al, 2021b;Devkota et al, 2022).…”

“…Entrepreneurial education indirectly affects entrepreneurial intention and behaviour through improving attitude towards entrepreneurship. Thus, educational programmes for entrepreneurship should be taken account into fostering entrepreneurial activities in the long-term strategies (Wach & Głodowska, 2019), and even entrepreneurial education programmes should be implemented at earlier stages of entrepreneurial education, such as primary, secondary, and high schools (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2021). Educators should invite successful entrepreneurs to come as guest speakers in entrepreneurial programmemes which could help students shape their positive attitude towards entrepreneurship.…”

How environmental understanding affects the green entrepreneurial intention of Centennials in Vietnam

“…Recently, a few scholars have shifted their attention to the green entrepreneurship domain (Alvarez-Risco et al, 2021;Ramayah et al, 2019). Alvarez-Risco et al (2021) show that entrepreneurial self-efficacy, which is influenced by government and educational support, directly affects the green business intention of university students in Peru.…”

Involving entrepreneurship behaviour of Pakistani students, Soomro et al (2020) and Qazi et al (2020) indicate that green educational support plays a vital role in fostering green EI.…”
