Abstract

Academicians and policymakers are increasingly interested in studying entrepreneurship as entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in the economic growth of the country. Particularly the focus remains on how to increase the entrepreneurship rate for becoming economically stable in the world. In this perspective, entrepreneurship education (EE) has an immense role to play for entrepreneurship. Considering the importance of EE, literature still remains inconsistent on the effectiveness of EE towards entrepreneurial intention (EI). Therefore, based on the Stimulus Organism Response theory (SOR), this study by considering entrepreneurial passion (EP) as mediator and government support programs and policies (GSPs) as moderator has demonstrated the influence of EE on EI. For this purpose data was gathered from a sample of 307 Pakistani university students through a survey questionnaire and analysis was done through Smart PLS 4.0. The findings confirmed that EE not only directly but indirectly through EP triggered the students’ EI. Moreover, government support programs and policies further enhanced the effects of EE on EP which would lead to the development of EI among students. This study has important implications for educators and policymakers to increase the entrepreneurship rate by considering how the EP of students can be enhanced through educational programs and regulatory policies.
