What the paper says

This study investigates the effect of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on entrepreneurial intention. A conceptual model is developed to examine the impact of EO on entrepreneurial intention mediated by entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and moderated by entrepreneurial education (EE). Data collected from 390 respondents from two districts in the southern part of India (Tamil Nadu) were analysed to test the hypothesised relationships. First, the psychometric properties of the survey instrument were tested by partial least squares structural equation modelling, and then hypotheses were tested using PROCESS macros. The results indicate that (a) all three dimensions of EO—innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness—are significant predictors of ESE and (b) that ESE mediated the relationship between EO and entrepreneurial intention. This study also found that EE moderated the relationship between innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness and ESE. This research has several theoretical and practical implications for academics, government and non-government entrepreneurship-supporting organisations. This research provides detailed insights into the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention and guides academics and entrepreneurship training institutions in shaping individuals’ entrepreneurial careers.
