Abstract
In this paper we explore creativity as an antecedent of entrepreneurial intentions. Drawing from social cognitive theory, we explain and empirically illustrate how creative self-efficacy encourages the development of entrepreneurial intentions. We also examine the mediating roles of attitudes and creative process engagement in the creative self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions relationship. Based on a pre-post- survey design, in seven entrepreneurship courses taught in three Canadian universities, our findings support the role of creativity as an antecedent to entrepreneurship, but also hint towards some boundaries/limitations on attitudes as the primary focus of entrepreneurship education programs. We draw a number of implications for the theory and practice of entrepreneurship education.
