Abstract:
The present study tested two models explaining how entrepreneurship education can have an effect of entrepreneurial intentions through its impact on attitudes and selfefficacy. Data were collected from 236 students who were exposed to an entrepreneurship course. While in model 1 attitudes and self-efficacy are positively related to intentions to new venture creation, in model 2 attitudes mediate between self-efficacy and intentions. Results indicate that attitudes have a stronger relationship with intentions in model 2. Discussion and implications for future research are presented.
