Abstract: | Purpose –The study sought to determine the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and self-employment intentions. Design –A cross-sectional and explanatory survey approach was employed using a systematic sampling technique.Data were collected from a sample of 458 undergraduate finalists from two Ugandan universities. Results –Results of the study indicate that two predictors significantly influence self-employment intentions. Results also suggestthat entrepreneurial self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurship education and self-employment intentions.Implications –Curriculum developers should develop entrepreneurship curriculum content geared towards stimulation of self-employment intentions among learners via entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Second, educational and economic policymakers should design policies and programs like startup capital to enable graduates to realize their self-employment intentions. Originality/value –The study provides initial evidence on the mediating effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy between entrepreneurship education and self-employment intentions. |
