The single, complementary, balanced, and imbalanced influences of entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions on entrepreneurial behaviors: Polynomial regression with response surface analysis

A serial mediation model of the linkage between entrepreneurial education, self-efficacy, attitudes and intentions: does gender matter? A multi-group analysis

“…Therefore, it is crucial to provide equal access to EE opportunities for both men and women. However, Duong and Vu (2023) report that several factors make it harder for women to participate in entrepreneurial activities compared to men. One significant reason is the gendered nature of entrepreneurship; scholars have pointed out that entrepreneurial activities are influenced by social beliefs that dictate gender-specific behaviors in various cultures.…”

“…Prior entrepreneurship studies have often used undergraduate students as the research sample rather than real entrepreneurs who have already created their own business ventures (Duong and Vu, 2023), as university students are a population that already has a high inclination toward entrepreneurship (An, 2022; Iwu et al , 2021). Nevertheless, Kautonen et al (2015) argue that although undergraduate students with limited entrepreneurial experience are often found to have favorable ATE and high intentions to become entrepreneurs, they might easily change their entrepreneurial plans when they graduate.…”

“…However, some studies argue that women can be more motivated than men to become entrepreneurs (Ojong et al, 2021;Chaudhary, 2017). In other words, although numerous studies have demonstrated that men tend to exhibit a higher inclination to initiate and manage their own business ventures compared to women, particularly when background factors are taken into account (Duong and Vu, 2023), some scholars have argued that women may actually display a greater motivation to engage in entrepreneurial activities than men (Rubio-Ban ˜ on and Esteban-Lloret, 2016; Alnemer, 2021), while others have found no significant differences between men and women in their desire to become entrepreneurs (Chaudhary, 2017). Consequently, these findings illustrate less than perfectly the role of gender differences in entrepreneurship.…”

Closing the entrepreneurial attitude-intention-behavior gap: the direct and moderating role of entrepreneurship education

“…Previous research has indicated that the opinions of Entrepreneurship education reference persons, whether approving or disapproving, can significantly influence a person's intentions to establish a new venture and subsequent behaviors (Morales-Perez et al, 2022). Third, the TPB is a well-developed theory that can be applied to explain various aspects of human behavior, such as sustainable behavior (Wallace and Buil, 2023;Nguyen, 2021), utilization of automated vehicles (Rejali et al, 2023) and entrepreneurship (Duong and Vu, 2023b). Because entrepreneurship is commonly regarded as a process that begins with a person's favorable attitude toward entrepreneurial activities, is driven by the intention to engage in entrepreneurial actions and culminates when that person establishes and begins operating their own business (Gieure et al, 2020;Duong, 2022), attitudes and intentions regarding business venture creations are thus crucial predictors of EB (Duong and Vu, 2023b).…”

“…However, although many individuals have positive attitudes and intentions toward conducting a behavior, empirical studies have shown that not all of them lead to actual behavior (Ajzen, 2020). This phenomenon is commonly known as the “attitude-intention-behavior gap” and has been observed across various domains of human behavior, such as proenvironmental action (Chi et al , 2022) and entrepreneurship (Duong and Vu, 2023b). Given the limited information available on the factors that facilitate the transition from entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions to actual behavior (Cui and Bell, 2022), it has become imperative to investigate the linkages among these variables (Duong and Vu, 2023b).…”
