Intention of Bangladeshi young girls toward green consumption: A study on private university students

Consumer purchase intentions determine the process of developing green consumption behavior. The demand for environmentally friendly goods has stayed divisive, multifaceted, and particular to each societal setting. In order to examine this, this paper applied Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior as a theoretical framework with modification of some factors to investigate the effect of subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, environmental responsibility, and self-efficacy on the purchase intention of Bangladeshi female students toward green consumption. A self-administered questionnaire is used to collect data from the respondents. Based on convenience and snowball sampling, 280 questionnaires were analyzed in this study, received from participants aged 18 to 25. The SPSS 22.0 and Smart-PLS were employed to analyze the model and estimate the parameters by considering a 95% confidence interval. The results indicate that all factors (p values < α = 0.01) had an overall significant and strong positive influence. Self-efficacy has a slight specific indirect effect (p = 0.051 > α = 0.05) on the purchase intention toward green consumption among university girls in Bangladesh. Additionally, this study explored a significant correlation between five independent variables and the dependent variable. The strongest correlation (r = 0.849) between green consumption behavior and environmental responsibility was discovered. Also, the t-test demonstrates that the intention to engage in green consumption significantly (tcal = 3.684 > tcri = 1.96) influences actual green consumption.

College students’ potential purchase intention of electric two-wheeled vehicles

Due to the rise of renewable energy/green energy issues in recent years, many countries have agreed to adopt the forms of environmental protection, cleanliness, and no impact on the environment for the sources and composition of energy. They have also drawn up relevant international agreements (i.e., Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement) to strictly limit and manage CO2 emissions. The newly advocated electric vehicles have gradually been regarded as a method to improve the environment by all countries. Through the introduction of new electric transport modes, the innovation and reform of the energy structure are promoted, and traditional transportation has also changed. In recent years, Taiwan has promoted the policy of replacing traditional fuel two-wheeled vehicles with electric two-wheeled vehicles (ETWVs), and gradually increased the number of ETWVs in Taiwan by replacing old fuel vehicles and subsidizing the purchase of ETWVs. This study is aimed at college students to explore the important factors that affect their willingness to buy ETWVs. As college students are the first group to buy ETWVs, if their willingness to buy ETWVs can be increased, environmental sustainability may be enhanced. Through a questionnaire designed to investigate the two-wheeled vehicle use preferences of college students in Taiwan, this paper explores the significant factors affecting college students’ purchase of ETWVs. This study applies Logistic Regression and Ordered Logit models, and the results of model estimation show that household income, gender, environmental awareness, recognition of ETWVs, the fuel costs of existing vehicles, number of people in each household, operational efficiency of ETWVs, and subsidy and incentive measures will all positively affect the purchase intention of college students.

ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT AND FAMILY SOCIAL CAPITAL AS DETERMINANTS OF ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION

ABSTRACT The knowledge, skills, competencies and skills required for entrepreneurship are tools that can be provided through entrepreneurial education. In this research, entrepreneurial intention in university students has been little explored, even though it is viewed as an important potential in business activity. The objective of this study is to identify and analyze whether entrepreneurial education, the university environment and family social capital are determinants of entrepreneurial intention. A study was carried out with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional design, using the multivariate analysis of linear regression and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) of one factor. A random survey was applied to 384 university students from the southwest of the state of Guanajuato, through google forms. Only 318 surveys were validated, of which 49.4% are of a Higher Technical University level, 33.6% of a bachelor's degree and 17% of engineering. The findings show that entrepreneurial education helps in the development of the initiative in (4.28), the university environment identifies business opportunities (4.19) and the family union promotes entrepreneurship (4.59). In this same sense, six out of 10 students intend to start their own company when they finish their studies. Therefore, a higher positive correlation is observed between the university environment and entrepreneurial education (0.673). The results allow us to affirm that, in the case of men, the university environment has a greater significant influence on their intention to undertake, and for women, entrepreneurial education has a significant impact on their intention to undertake. Finally, family social capital is more favored in the case of men than women. The study has important implications for higher education institutions in terms of analysis, design, and management of entrepreneurial intent.

ROLE OF DEMOGRAPHICS, ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AND ENTREPRENEURIAL SOCIAL BACKGROUND IN ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION OF INDIAN BUSINESS STUDENTS

Studies on entrepreneurial intention among students form the heart of entrepreneurship literature. Since these students are the potential entrepreneurs, it, therefore, becomes imperative to understand how their entrepreneurial intentions are shaped and what factors contribute to an increase in these intentions. For this purpose, the entrepreneurial intention of 150 business students was assessed with regard to demographics, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial social background using independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and Bayesian analysis. The major findings demonstrated that male students exhibit significantly higher entrepreneurial intent than female students. Older students in the sample were more entrepreneurially inclined than younger students. Further, the analysis revealed that students having self-employed friends exhibit intention towards entrepreneurship than students having self-employed parents. Surprisingly, the entrepreneurial intention of students who participated in the entrepreneurship education program was lower than those who did not. This research is a contribution to the growing body of literature that highlights various factors at play while assessing entrepreneurial intention of students. Besides, the study has implications for entrepreneurship educators and policymakers engaged in the cultivation and establishment of entrepreneurial ecosystems. KEY WORDS: Entrepreneurship, Demographics, Entrepreneurial Education, Entrepreneurial Social Background, Entrepreneurial Intention, Bayesian Analysis

Faculty matter: development of faculty diversity climate and its relation to graduate student intent to stay

ABSTRACT This study sought to advance our understanding of the nexus between policy and ambient discrimination experiences of faculty and the intention to stay among graduate students. To accomplish this, we built on theory and research in higher education by leveraging models from the strategic human resource management (HRM) literature. In doing so, we advanced a novel theoretical model relating faculty perceptions of traditional HRM policies and ambient discrimination to department-level shared perceptions of diversity climate. We further theorized how that shared diversity climate relates to evaluations of graduate students’ general campus climate and their intent to stay. We tested this model using a unique multisource, multilevel dataset comprised of 266 university faculty and 569 students who were pursuing graduate degrees across 28 departments at a midsized university located in the Midwest. The results supported the hypothesized model and established the important relationship between the diversity-related work environment experienced by faculty and the experiences and highly consequential outcomes for students and higher education. By bridging the gap between faculty work experiences and student perceptions and retention this study provides both new theoretical insights and important practical suggestions.

Green entrepreneurship intention among high school students: a teachers’ view

There is a gap in the view of teachers about green entrepreneurship intention in high school students. The objective of the current article is to evaluate the factors that explain from private high schools in Peru the intention of green entrepreneurship from the view of teachers. It was carried out with a sample size of 163 teachers from fifth high schools. The research model was evaluated by partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) which is a technique for multivariate analysis. Extracurricular support and country support showed an effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Also, entrepreneurial self-efficacy had an effect on green entrepreneurship intention. Finally, self-efficacy was a mediator between extracurricular support, country support, and green entrepreneurial intention. These outcomes can be used by the Ministry of Education and high school planners to use the variables that show more effect and include strategies to increase the green entrepreneurial intention among school students as the creation of annual programs of practical training and entrepreneurship accelerators to develop skills among the students. Also, it can be relevant that the professors can receive specific training in green entrepreneurship because they can guide their students during the daily classes and extracurricular activities as well.
