Abstract

This study investigates how entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial attitude, and culture enhance students' entrepreneurial intentions in an educational institute. Students from Pakistan's private educational institutions made up the target population. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect data, and partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze 735 responses (PLS-SEM). Consequently, entrepreneurial education positively influenced the students' entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial intention. The mediating role of entrepreneurial attitude was also statistically significant. Furthermore, the results reveal that the link between entrepreneurial education and attitude is more vital with culture as a moderator. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by investigating the entrepreneurial intentions of students based on the theory of planned behavior through empirical evidence on hypothesized relationships. Moreover, the study extends the scope of entrepreneurial education by adding predictors such as culture for the efficient performance of educational institutes. © 2022
