Abstract:
The objective of this study is to explore the relationship among self-efficacy and
entrepreneurial intention among students participating in Faculty of Business
Administration. Additionally, it seeks to explore the mediating role of resilience in this
relationship. The research adopts a quantitative research approach , using a survey
questionnaire to gather data from a group of students studying Business Administration..
Validated scales are used to assess self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions.
The primary results of the research indicate that students with elevated self-efficacy levels
are more inclined to possess more robust entrepreneurial intentions.. However, this
relationship is partially moderated by resilience. Students who demonstrate higher levels of
resilience tend to translate their self-efficacy beliefs into more concrete entrepreneurial
intentions. These findings suggest that both self-efficacy and resilience play crucial roles in
influencing students' entrepreneurial mindset and readiness to engage in entrepreneurial
activities.
This study adds to the current knowledge by investigating how resilience mediates the link
between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. The findings provide valuable insights
for educational institutions and policymakers in designing effective entrepreneurship
education programs to foster entrepreneurial mindsets among students, thus promoting
economic progress and innovation. By understanding the factors that influence
entrepreneurial intentions, stakeholders can implement targeted strategies to support
aspiring entrepreneurs effectively.
