Abstract

This study uses an econometric approach to determine the impact of entrepreneurial business education on the entrepreneurial intentions of students in Uzbekistan. The work is based on extensive research by international experts who determine various antecedents of entrepreneurial intention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (Eisen, 1991). Such as the attitude to entrepreneurship, perceived behavioral control and subjective norms. In studies of another direction, the importance of entrepreneurial education (PO) in stimulating entrepreneurial intention is discussed. Which then leads to entrepreneurial behavior, namely, opening your own business. The questionnaire prepared by the author is based on a 5-point Likert scale and consists of several separate sections, each of which relates to the above factors. The results of the ordered logistic regression indicate a significant relationship between entrepreneurship education and attitudes to entrepreneurship. The attitude, in turn, has a significant impact on the entrepreneurial intentions of students, accounting for about 5% of the variation. The results obtained will pave the way for future developments in the field of development of entrepreneurial education. Also, they will help to form a more effective state policy in the field of education, in order to increase the development of entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan.

Summary

Introduction

AND PROBLEM STATEMENT In the current decade the rate of youth unemployment throughout the world has reached new heights at nearly 15% (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.UEM. 1524.ZS). As numerous empirical studies suggest entrepreneurship can be taught (Gatewood et al, 2002; Mitra & Matlay, 2004; Kuratko, 2005; Harris and Gibson, 2008; Henry et al 2005; Falkang and Alberti, 2000; Kirby, 2002; Kuratko, 2003) and a deliberate and conscious decision to start an entrepreneurial career can be fostered (Krueger et al 2000). This has caused a drastic upward shift in the number and status of entrepreneurial programs at higher educational institutions globally (Finkle and Deeds, 2001; Kurakto, 2005; Matlay, 2005). The current study aims to fill this gap and understand whether or not EE has a mediating impact on students’ entrepreneurial intent
