Entrepreneurial education, Individual entrepreneurial orientation, Entrepreneurial intention, Perceived feasibility, Perceived DesirabilityAbstract
Entrepreneurship is a global phenomenon because it contributes to economic growth, maintenance of social stability, and reduced unemployment. However, the role of entrepreneurial orientation in Vietnamese universities remains blurred. This study aims to understand the role of university education in shaping the entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese students through entrepreneurial orientation, perceived desirability, and perceived feasibility. The PLS-SEM technique with SmartPLS 4 software tested the research model and hypotheses. The data set was collected from May 2023 to June 2023 via Google Forms with 411 respondents. The results show that entrepreneurial education has the most decisive impact on perceived desirability, followed by perceived feasibility, and both of these factors have a substantial impact on entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the results, the research has suggested practical implications that enhance entrepreneurial intention and promote the development of Vietnam's economy.
