| Abstract | Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the key influencing factors of entrepreneurial intention of engineering students in Sichuan; China. The conceptual framework proposes Entrepreneurship Education (EE); Personal Attitudes (PA); Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC); Subjective Norms (SN); Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy (ESE); Entrepreneurial Creativity (EC) and Entrepreneurial Intention (EI). Research design; data and methodology: A quantitative research method (N=693) was adopted to issue questionnaires to engineering students in Xihua University. Nonprobability sampling technique includes judgmental sampling; stratified random sampling; and convenience sampling. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM) was used for data analysis and model measurement; including factor loading; reliability; validity and model fit. Results: The results illustrate Entrepreneurship Education (EE) was affected by entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE); perceived behavioral control (PBC) and personal attitude (PA). Entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) had an effect on entrepreneurial creativity (EC). Personal attitude (PA) and entrepreneurial creativity (EC) significantly affected entrepreneurial intention (EI). Whereas ESE; PBC and SN did not significant to EI. Conclusions: Out of nine hypotheses; only six were supported to meet the research objectives. Therefore; it is suggested to carry out effective reform of entrepreneurship education in combination with the national construction of new engineering for improving students' entrepreneurial intention. |
