This study used entrepreneurial intention as dependent variable, moreover attitude,
subjective norms and perceived behavioral control were used as independent variables
while entrepreneurship program was used as a moderating variable. Entrepreneurial
intention is the determination to engage in to venture creation. Attitude is the positive
view or disposition of a person towards new venture creation. Subjective norms is the
view of close family, ties or colleagues on a person’s decision to engage in
entrepreneurial activities. Perceived behavioural control is the ease to venture in to new
business. While entrepreneurship program is the teaching approach entrepreneurial
processes. The population of study consists 11,378 business and engineering
undergraduates, thus, 754 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents through
email out of which 533 were returned (71%). This study used descriptive quantitative
survey method to examine the entrepreneurial intention of Business and Engineering
undergraduate students from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and Universiti Utara
Malaysia (UUM) in relation. This study indicates that attitude, subjective norms,
perceived behavioural control and entrepreneurship program all has a direct positive
relationship with entrepreneurship intention. Similarly, entrepreneurship program
positively moderates the relationship between attitude and perceived behavioural
control and the entrepreneurship intention, but subjective norms presents a negative
significant interaction. This study therefore contributes to the entrepreneurship
literature by integrating the entrepreneurship program as a positive moderator to the
relationship between attitude and perceived behavioural control on student’s
entrepreneurship intention. This study recommend to blends the human capital theory
and TPB to better understand the entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate students.
However, considering the Beta values, attitude is the strongest factor that influences the
entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurship program among students in selected
Malaysian universities. The Malaysian government is therefore recommended to make
more effort in redesigning its entrepreneurship development policies to fit the findings
of this study. |
