Abstract

AbstractThis study uses the theory of planned behavior, and social cognitive career theory, to examine the effect of entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial mindset, and cognitive mediators on entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial competencies. Adopting a cross‐sectional design, it uses data from 290 university students, from a variety of academic backgrounds, to test several hypotheses using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results show that entrepreneurial education and cognitive mediators are critical for stimulating entrepreneurial behavior. The results also show that entrepreneurial mindset is formed from entrepreneurial education, and that it plays a vital role in driving entrepreneurial intention. Finally, our results indicate that entrepreneurial passion is a moderator that shapes self‐efficacy and attitudes towards entrepreneurship. These findings offer insights that could act as a reference point for academicians, educators, or anyone else who engages in creating or expanding knowledge related to entrepreneurship.
