This study adopts the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework to examine the effect of the government-initiated Entrepreneurship Student Program (ESP) on the entrepreneurial intentions and behavior of students. In addition, the research also examines the market information adequacy and standard psychological components of TPB, namely attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control as predictor variables. Data are collected from 208 university students in Semarang, Indonesia, with the Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique employed for analysis. The result shows that ESP and the adequacy of market information directly influence the entrepreneurial behavior of Indonesian students, while the influence of attitudes and perceived behavior control is mediated by entrepreneurial intention. In conclusion, this study implies that ESP can be considered effective in preparing and facilitating entrepreneurship among university students, therefore the government needs to consider increasing its availability to cover a larger number of universities in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting students’ attitudes and entrepreneurial intention. Quantitative approach was mainly applied with structured questionnaires directly delivered to 2,141 senior students and newly graduates from twelve universities in Ho Chi Minh City. The empirical results show that social norms, personal traits of openness to new experiences, extraversion, conscientiousness, and positive attitudes directly and indirectly affected entrepreneurial intention. In addition, agreeableness and negative attitudes negatively affected entrepreneurial intention. Based on the findings, discussions and practical implications were suggested for improving educational programs that promote the nurture of talented entrepreneurs for the country.

As social media becomes influential in our daily life, successful adoption of it may act as a motivating factor to achieve entrepreneurial outcomes such as entrepreneurial intention, the most reliable indicator of actions toward entrepreneurial behavior. Although numerous studies found personality as a strong determinant of entrepreneurial intention, the focus was on broad personality constructs such as the Big Five, rather than specific ones that may predict entrepreneurial outcomes better. Based on the concept of entrepreneurial intentionality and entrepreneurial networking, social media technology acceptance that includes perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use social media, is proposed to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial personality and entrepreneurial intention. Using a sample of 261 college students and SEM analysis, significant positive direct and indirect influences were found.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of factors that influence entrepreneurial intention among tourism undergraduate students in Vietnam. A research framework based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was proposed to understand the relationship between the TPB factors and entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention was also investigated. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 388 tourism undergraduate students at different universities across Vietnam. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was utilized to test the hypotheses of this research. The study findings show that subjective norms (SN), attitude toward entrepreneurship (AE), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and entrepreneurship education (EE) had direct effects on entrepreneurial intention (EI); however, perceived behavioral control had the strongest influence on entrepreneurial intention. The findings provide educators with insights into how to promote entrepreneurship activities among tourism undergraduate students in Vietnam through educational programs and training.

This study aims to examine the effects of higher education on self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 553 Vietnamese students at universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employed the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between higher education, self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, Chi-square and Cramer’s V tests are implemented to indicate the difference of higher education on entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between higher education and entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control also had positive effects on entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, Chi-Square and Cramer’s V test report that there was a strong evidence of higher education in entrepreneurial intention but there were no differences in self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.

The objective of this paper was to assess the impact of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intention on students in the North of Vietnam, through two mediating variables; namely entrepreneurship passion and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The study was conducted on 688 students from both economic and technical university in the Northern region of Vietnam. Data collected using SPSS 22 and Smart PLS 3.0 software shows that entrepreneurial education had a strong impact on entrepreneurial intention in the North of Vietnam. At the same time, entrepreneurial education also had a positive impact on entrepreneurship passion and Entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Time and Team Cooperation maintained a statistically significant moderate role on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention of students in the North of Vietnam.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of personal attitude toward entrepreneurship, self-efficacy (individual characteristics) and social capital, country norms (environmental characteristics) on entrepreneurial intention among students at universities and colleges in Vietnam. By collecting data from 210 students in Vietnam, authors employ the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis (EFA), KMO and Bartlett test, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple regression analysis to test hypothesizes. The study investigates the relationship between entrepreneurial attitude, self-efficacy, social capital, country norms and entrepreneurial intention. The result of this research indi-cates that a large proportion of students only study and only a small percentage of them study and run their own business. In terms of willingness to take the risks, the highest figure belongs to the neutral level. In addition, the correlation coefficient and multiple regressions analysis indicate that all four factors were positively associated with entrepreneurial intention. Specially, country norms are seen as the most influential factors on entrepreneurial intention, followed by social capital, personal attitude, and self-efficacy, respectively.

This study aims to investigate the effects of internal barriers, including personal traits and cognitive condi-tions, and external barriers, including normative and regulative structures, on entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 437 students at high schools, universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employ a quantitative method such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative analysis (EFA), KMO and Bartlett test, correlation coefficient analysis, and logistic regression to examine the relationship be-tween entrepreneurial barriers with different issues including personal traits, cognitive condition, normative and regulative structures, and entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that all four independent variables; namely barriers related to personal traits, cognitive condition, normative and regulative structures had negative effects on entrepreneurial intention. Particularly, cognitive conditions are seen as the most influential barrier to entrepreneurial intention, followed by personal traits, regulative and normative structures.

The concept of entrepreneurship has become popular in different countries such as Vietnam and Poland. However, there are few comparative researches on entrepreneurial intention and migration attitudes among students in two countries. The purpose of this study is to show a comparative analysis of some issues related to entrepreneurial intention and migration attitudes such as willingness to take the risks, knowledge about the market, competitors, financial resources, factors effecting on entrepreneurial intention, circumstance and the purpose of going abroad among students in Vietnam and Poland. The study employs quantitative analyses by utilizing some tools of descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney U-Test through SPSS 20.0 to show the differences of factors affecting on intention to start up a business and migration attitudes between Vietnamese and Polish students. The research results show that although the demographic layout of students in two countries was rather similar, there were some differences in 12 out of 17 factors influencing on entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese and Polish students. In terms of migration attitudes, almost all Vietnamese and Polish students were interested in going abroad to find a job and only minor proportion of them planned to run a business abroad.

This study aims to investigate the impact of educational background on perceived opportunities, perceived capacities, and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 617 students at universities, colleges and institutes in Vietnam, the study employs some quantitative approaches including descriptive statistics, explorative factor anal-ysis (EFA), correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA tests and multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between educational background, perceived opportunities perceived capacities and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, Chi-square and Cramer’s V tests are implemented to show the difference of educational background in Vietnamese students’ entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that there was a negative relationship between field of studies and perceived opportunities, perceived capacities, and entrepreneurial intention while educational level had positive effects on perceived opportunities, perceived capacities and entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, Chi-square and Cramer’s V tests report that there was a strong evidence of educational level difference in entrepreneurial intention but no difference of field of study in entrepreneurial intention.
