... the case of the employment status of their parents, the research results also indicated significant differences in the respondents' entrepreneurial intentions. According to the research results represented in Table 3, it could be seen that entrepreneurial intention is higher among the respondents whose fathers are entrepreneurs (M = 3.50), compared to those whose fathers are employed in the private sector (M = 3.09). Besides that, respondents' whose fathers are retired expressed higher entrepreneurial intentions (M = 4.06), compared to those respondents whose fathers are employed within the private sector (M = 3.09), as well as the public one (M = 3.26). ...Citations
... In light of the challenges presented by the pandemic, it is crucial to examine the advantages and disadvantages associated with online learning in higher education. Compared to traditional learning, online learning is defined as a new paradigm based on information technology, which is identified as one of the key sources of change in the higher education sector (Dragin et al., 2022). As such, it elevates students' satisfaction levels during their course attendance, leading to improved performance in online education (González-Gómez et al., 2016;Lockman & Schirmer, 2020). ...

... In this research, entrepreneurial characteristics and their relationship with entrepreneurial performance and sustainability were studied. The results reveal that 55% of entrepreneurs are female with primary and secondary education which contrasts with previous research suggesting more commonly male-led entrepreneurial leadership [66] which states that fathers often lead an entrepreneurial venture. This suggests that the female tends to perform better in entrepreneurial skills in the Gocta destination specifically in restaurants and shops while the male gender performs better in accommodations. ...
This research aimed to examine the characteristics of tourism entrepreneurs and their impact on performance in the Gocta destination. This study analysed data from a sample of 47 entrepreneurs using structural equation modelling with SmartPLS 3.37 software using a quantitative methodology with descriptive and explanatory approaches. The sample included 44% men and 55% women. The sample included 44.7% men and 55.3% women. The results indicated that entrepreneurial traits such as leadership (p=0.047), planning (p=0.041) and innovation (p=0.007) have a significant positive effect on both entrepreneurial performance and business sustainability. These characteristics are decisive for improving business performance and ensuring long-term viability. In contrast, business attributes such as sociability (p=0.065) and sustainability (p=0.557) showed a lower level of significance about performance. This indicates that they are less critical compared to leadership, planning and innovation although sociability and sustainability are valuable. The study highlights the importance of these key traits in driving entrepreneurial success and aims to strengthen the skills associated with leadership, planning and innovation among entrepreneurs. This research seeks to support the development of effective and sustainable tourism enterprises in the Gocta destination and provides valuable information for both entrepreneurs to consider the entrepreneurial characteristics of starting a great business and policy makers by focusing on these traits.
... Los autores de la teoría ponen el énfasis en enfoques pragmáticos, enfatizando la experiencia y la resolución de problemas con base en el aprendizaje, logrando que se destaque una interacción social en educación para la aplicabilidad en los emprendimientos partiendo de ciclos de aprendizaje que son concretos, reflexivos, abstractos y con experimentación activa en la ideación e innovación (Urpí, 2010). (Dragin et al., 2022;Esfandiar et al., 2019;Georgescu & Herman, 2020;Trimi & Berbegal-Mirabent, 2012). ...
Resumen: La intención emprendedora en Colombia es un fenómeno prometedor que requiere de un enfoque íntegro que combine escenarios de educación, transferencia de conocimiento, apoyo institucional y creación de entornos propicios para el desarrollo de nuevos negocios. El objetivo del presente estudio es desarrollar un análisis bibliométrico de las investigaciones sobre la intención emprendedora en jóvenes universitarios en Colombia. La metodología considera tres (3) bases de datos: Web of Science, Scopus y Redalyc, para obtener los datos relacionados con la intención emprendedora mediante ecuaciones de búsqueda utilizando operadores boléanos. Los resultados del mapeo bibliométrico se visualizan usando VOSviewer, destacando los análisis de coocurrencia, citaciones, autores y publicaciones. Los resultados determinan que las investigaciones tienen un mayor crecimiento en el último lustro, que los enfoques con mayor estudio se enmarcan en emprendimiento, educación, actitudes y motivaciones. Además, se identifican tres escenarios de análisis en común acuerdo de los autores consultados, tales como el comportamiento de la persona, la capacidad de actuar y el ambiente universitario. Finalmente, se aborda una mirada holística de la producción bibliográfica sobre la intención emprendedora, lo que conduce a que se generen bases de trabajo a futuro sobre un tema de interés que puede ser usado para investigaciones futuras.

... A este respecto, tener un progenitor emprendedor podría influir positivamente en la iniciativa emprendedora de los vástagos, aunque ese impacto también podría tornarse negativo (Peña et al., 2021). Es decir, si bien la presencia de modelos de referencia de las madres y de los padres aumenta los niveles de intención emprendedora, esto también puede llevar a la descendencia a no identificarse con dichos modelos y desvincularse de esa elección profesional (Dragin et al., 2022) Además, los discentes que cursan o han cursado titulaciones del área de administración de empresas valoran más positivamente la formación sobre emprendimiento (D10) y perciben tener más apoyo para desarrollar y poner en marcha un proyecto emprendedor, tal vez porque en titulaciones pertenecientes a esas áreas suelen existir asignaturas obligatorias acerca del fenómeno o porque se dé más visibilidad a esa opción de futuro (Laguna et al., 2022). ...
La evaluación de las intenciones y competencias emprendedoras de los estudiantes de modalidad a distancia no se ha tenido demasiado en cuenta, por lo que se aplicó el cuestionario GUESSS a 2458 discentes de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia. Los objetivos fueron: a) describir las intenciones y competencias emprendedoras, las experiencias en emprendimiento y la valoración de la universidad como ecosistema emprendedor; b) detectar agrupamientos respecto al perfil emprendedor; c) identificar variables influyentes de la intención emprendedora. Se llevó a cabo una investigación cuantitativa, no experimental, transversal y de encuesta. Se implementaron análisis multivariante de conglomerados y de regresión lineal múltiple, las pruebas U de Mann-Whitney, H de Kruskal-Wallis y el coeficiente de Spearman. La intención emprendedora fue relativamente baja y las competencias emprendedoras estaban considerablemente desarrolladas. Valoraron favorablemente a la universidad como ecosistema emprendedor, requiriendo mejoras en cuanto al fomento de los emprendimientos. Se identificaron dos conglomerados de estudiantes: alto/bajo potencial emprendedor. La variable que mejor predijo la intención emprendedora fue la actitud; el peso de las competencias emprendedoras no resultó despreciable. El control conductual percibido y las normas subjetivas no mostraron una relación fuerte con la misma. El modelo predictivo mostró gran capacidad explicativa. Puesto que la educación emprendedora permite mejorar las competencias e intenciones emprendedoras, conocer los antecedentes psicosociales que llevan a los sujetos a emprender puede contribuir al diseño de programas formativos para el emprendimiento más realistas y viables, adaptados a los distintos perfiles de alumnos.
... These students may have a greater understanding of entrepreneurship and be more motivated to follow in their fathers' footsteps (Shirokova et al., 2016) [33] . Later, several studies have observed that entrepreneurial intention is higher among the students whose fathers are entrepreneurs compared to those students whose fathers are engaged in other professions (Naim, 2018;Dragin et al., 2022) [25,11] . On the other hand, students whose fathers have nonentrepreneurial occupations may still have entrepreneurial intentions but they perceive entrepreneurship as a riskier path due to the lack of a family safety net or the absence of a familiar entrepreneurial environment (Krueger Jr, 2003;Minniti and Nardone, 2007) [18,24] . ...

... In the same vein, those who intend to launch their own business in the future concurred more than their counterparts, to these statements: (1) 'I have the ability to learn new ways of doing things' (p value: 0.047*); (2) 'I feel motivated and energetic to make a difference in the South African tourism industry' (p value: 0.001**); (3) 'entrepreneurial achievement motivation is one of the key components for entrepreneurial success' (p value: 0.008**) and (4) 'I have love and passion for work in the tourism industry' (p value: 0.020*). The evidence presented thus far supports the idea that entrepreneurial attributes and intention are higher among the students whose parents are entrepreneurs (Dragin et al., 2022;Khan & Farooqi, 2022). Another recently published article by Nexhipi, Llambi Prendi, and Musabelli (2022) seem to cast doubt on Dragin et al.'s assumption that students whose parents are business owners have more entrepreneurial intent. ...
... Entrepreneurial intentions may also be considered as an idea in the business field to start a business in the future. The importance is reflected in the fact that the success of an entrepreneurial venture is highly dependent on the entrepreneurial intention of a prospective entrepreneur, in addition to the readiness of the entrepreneur himself, to face various challenges to achieve appropriate business results (Dragin et al., 2022;Fatahillah & Ranto, 2020). ...
Students as agents of change need to be encouraged to engage in entrepreneurial activities. The first step that can be taken is to grow their intention in the world of entrepreneurship. This activity can be done by providing entrepreneurial knowledge in college. This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurship education, self-efficacy and locus of control on students' entrepreneurial intentions. The population in this study were students at private universities in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique in this study used the purposive sampling method, namely selecting samples that matched the criteria used for the study. The criteria for the sample taken are students who have taken or are currently taking entrepreneurship courses. While the data collection method using a questionnaire. The number of respondents who were selected as samples was 101. The data analysis used in this study was multiple regression analysis. Based on the results of the study, it was found that entrepreneurship education, self-efficacy and locus of control had an effect on students' entrepreneurial intentions.
... Furthermore, this tested the cross-cultural equivalence of the measurement instruments to avoid drawing wrong conclusions (Gorgievski et al., 2018). Based on the survey of 310 Serbian students, Dragin et al. (2022) concluded that male students had higher EI. However, their study was limited to tourism and hospitality students in one country. ...
Through a cross-cultural examination, this study aims to analyse a move from the field of entrepreneurship education (EE) to entrepreneurial intention (EI). Specifically, we carried out mediation (perceived behavioural control (PBC) and attitude towards entrepreneurship (ATE)) and moderation (gender and country) analysis. The study surveyed 546 Polish and Spanish university students and used a multi-group analysis to test the model across groups. The results reveal that attitude and PBC partially mediate the effect of EE on EI. Moreover, the results show that the model is consistent in both countries. The study contributes to the comparative international entrepreneurship literature on how the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) applies in different contexts and implications it has for this field of study.
... The study of entrepreneurship is well-established within the field of development economics (Adusei, 2016;Carree & Thurik, 2003;Gungah & Jaunky, 2017;Kritikos, 2015;Stam & van Stel, 2009). Further, entrepreneurship has been recognized as an important driver of economic growth and job creation, particularly in developing countries (Acs et al., 2008;Barba-Sánchez et al., 2022;Dragin et al., 2022;Mohammadali & Abdulkhaliq, 2019;Rodríguez & Muñoz-Fernández, 2022;Zanabazar & Jigjiddorj, 2021). Therefore, understanding the factors influencing university students' entrepreneurial intentions is crucial for promoting entrepreneurship and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity. ...
Entrepreneurial intention (EI) is regarded as one of the most important indicators of entrepreneurial activities and behaviors, including the process of launching a new enterprise. While research on entrepreneurial intention has increased globally in recent years, there has been little research on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). This study examines the factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions among university students in the KRI, concentrating on perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, and propensity to act. A survey involving 213 business students from two universities in the cities of Erbil and Sulaimaniyah was conducted, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS. The findings demonstrated a positive correlation between the perceived desirability and the business student’s entrepreneurial intentions but no significant connection with perceived feasibility. These results indicate that students’ choice to pursue entrepreneurship is mainly driven by their willingness and interest in the field, highlighting the significance of the psychological elements in Shapero and Sokol's model for enhancing students' entrepreneurial intentions. The study adds to the existing literature on factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions among university students in developing countries, providing valuable insights for university administration and educators in developing curricula and programs that align with students' goals in shaping their future endeavours, as well as for policymakers seeking to promote an entrepreneurial culture among university students in the KRI region.
