THE IMPACT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS OF DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><p>Despite the importance of entrepreneurship to economic development, the role of students in promoting entrepreneurship remains largely unstudied. Thus a better understanding of the factors that affect students’ and their entrepreneurial intentions could have theoretical and practical implications to policy makers (both the government and university). Lack of empirical evidence on entrepreneurial tendencies and intentions in Nigeria largely informed us in undertaking this unique study. The rising unemployment level is one of the most challenging problems faced by our leaders today, hence the youths are littered everywhere not having jobs to do.</p><p><strong>1.3 &nbsp; &nbsp; RESEARCH OBJECTIVE</strong></p><p>The general objective of this study is to determine the impact of entrepreneurial education, personal attitude, social norm and perceived behavioural control on entrepreneurial intentions (EI).</p><p>The specific objectives are to:</p><p>1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Determine the impact of personal attitude and EIs among undergraduate students</p><p>2 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ascertain the relationship between Social Norm and EI among undergraduate students</p><p>3 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Access the relationship between Perceive Behavioural Control and EI among undergraduate students</p><p>4Determine the impact of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students</p><p><strong>1.4 &nbsp; &nbsp; RESEARCH QUESTIONS</strong></p><p>The study seeks to answer the following research questions:</p><p>1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What is the impact of personal attitude and EIs, among undergraduate students?</p><p>2 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What is the relationship between Social Norm and EI among undergraduate students?</p><p>3 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What is the relationship between Perceive Behavioural Control and EI among undergraduate students?</p><p>4 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What is the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students?</p><p><strong>1.5 &nbsp; &nbsp; RESEARCH HYPOTHESES</strong></p><p>In order to answer the above mentioned research questions, the following hypotheses were formulated:</p><p>HO1 &nbsp; There is no significant impact of personal attitude and EIs among undergraduate students.</p><p>HO2 &nbsp; There is no significant relationship between Social Norm and EI among undergraduate students.</p><p>HO3 &nbsp; There is no significant relationship between Perceive Behavioural Control and EI among undergraduate.</p><p>HO4There is no significant relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students</p> <br><p></p>
