The role of entrepreneurship education in mediating the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions:

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of entrepreneurship education in mediating the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions. The sample is the students at the Assalam Islamic Boarding School, Pasuruan Regency, consisting of 104 respondents. Questionnaires were distributed via google form as direct data collection from respondents. Then the data were analyzed using the partial least square structural equation model (SEM-PLS), which was then used to answer the research hypothesis. The results of the study show that directly entrepreneurial orientation is not able to increase interest in entrepreneurship. However, self-efficacy can increase interest in entrepreneurship. Furthermore, entrepreneurship education succeeded in mediating the influence between entrepreneurial orientation and self-efficacy on students' entrepreneurial interest in entrepreneurship.
