Entrepreneurial Education as a Determinant of Entrepreneurial Intention Mediated by Entrepreneurial Passion and Entrepreneurial Mindset Among Indonesian Students

This article examines the influence of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intention by incorporating entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial mindset as mediating variables. Using a quantitative approach and PLS-SEM analysis on 278 students from 11 Indonesian universities, the findings reveal that entrepreneurial education significantly enhances passion and mindset but does not directly affect entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial passion shows a significant positive effect on intention, whereas entrepreneurial mindset does not. Additionally, neither variable mediates the relationship between education and intention. These results highlight the need for more experiential, action-oriented, and contextually relevant entrepreneurship education capable of transforming passion and mindset into concrete entrepreneurial intentions.
