Moderating Role of Entrepreneurship Education on the Relationship between Personality Attribute and Entrepreneurial Intention

Abstract

This study examines moderating role of entrepreneurial education on the relationship between personality attribute and entrepreneurial intention. Primary data were used and collected through questionnaire and the study employed the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) as the analysis technique to run and analyse the data collected from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria using a sample of 400 level students.

The findings of the study showed that the five (5) hypotheses were rejected. The direct relationship between risk-taking propensity, self-efficacy, entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention (EI) were found to be significant. Also, entrepreneurial education moderates the relationship between risk taking propensity, self-efficacy and EI. The study concludes that entrepreneurial education is a critical factor in building the risk appetite and strengthening self-efficacy of students in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Therefore, this study recommends that, ABU’s management and other policymakers should concentrate on bolstering entrepreneurial education because it can increase students’ propensity for taking risks and boost their sense of self-efficacy, particularly when combined with a practical approach to developing EI
