Meta Analyses

Many scholars have stressed on the strong relationships between entrepreneurship, self-employment and the labor market growth in contemporary society. Several training and academic programs have been designed and developed all around the world to increase entrepreneurial propensity. This article aims to show the empirical evidences about the effects of entrepreneurship education programs on perceived attractiveness and perceived feasibility of new venture initiation, entrepreneurship-related human capital assets and entrepreneurship outcomes. Moderators affecting the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions and outcomes—such as the attributes of education itself, the individual’s background, and the contextual factors—have been analyzed. Explorations of the main theoretical frameworks that argue the positive relationships between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions and performance have been conducted. Different pedagogical models adopted for entrepreneurship education programs have been compared. The study was conducted through the systematic literature review method, allowing the suggestion of evidence-based policies at an organizational and a national level of analysis. The role of entrepreneurship education in adjusting and refining the participants’ assessment of their own entrepreneurial aptitude can explain the small positive relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions revealed by several meta-analyses.

Aims: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of self-directed learning readiness on developing entrepreneurial behaviors through social learning in the context of entrepreneurship education programs offered by state sector universities of Sri Lanka. Study Design: Correlational research design. Place and Duration of the Study: University of Colombo, University of Sri Jayewardenepura and University of Moratuwa during August 2018 to March 2019. Methodology: Collected primary data from the participants of entrepreneurship education programs conducted by three major state sector universities in Sri Lanka to reveal their level of self-directed learning readiness, availability of social learning opportunities in the programs and consequent development in their entrepreneurial behaviors after enrolling the programs. Stratified random sampling is used in selecting respondents for the sample of this quantitative study and self-administered questionnaires are used as the method of data collection. SPSS is used to carry out different kinds of statistical analysis such as Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy and Bartlett’s test of sphericity, factor analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The results show that self-directed learning readiness moderates the positive association of the development in entrepreneurial behaviors and social learning in the context of entrepreneurship education. Further, the paper provides an important analysis of the state of entrepreneurship education in Sri Lanka to enable further research to be taken in the area of entrepreneurship education. The findings provide valuable insight on sustaining the unique pedagogy of entrepreneurship education by restructuring the selection process to assess the level of self-directed learning readiness of applicants. Conclusion: The paper affirms the framework of Bandura to provide a basis to improve the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in Sri Lanka. However, the paper only concerns students’ perceptions towards the tripartite relationship between self-directed learning readiness, social learning and development of entrepreneurial behaviors

PurposeThis paper provides insights about how graduates' career patterns (i.e. academic entrepreneur, self-employed or paid employed) are influenced by entrepreneurial university ecosystems (i.e. incubators and entrepreneurship education programs).Design/methodology/approachBy adopting Douglas and Shepherd's utility-maximising function, the influence of one entrepreneurial university ecosystem on graduates' career choices was tested using a sample of 11,512 graduates from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM) in Mexico.FindingsOur results show the critical role of entrepreneurial universities ecosystems in facilitating employability options as academic entrepreneurship for ITESM's graduates. The study shows some insights about how graduates' risk aversion and work effort are positively influenced by the university business incubator and entrepreneurship education programs, respectively.Practical implicationsDiverse implications for stakeholders have emerged from our results. These implications are associated with potential benefits of implementing programmes oriented to engage academic entrepreneurship within Latin American universities.Originality/valueEntrepreneurial universities provide a range of employability alternatives for their students, such as to be self-employed, academic entrepreneurs or paid employees. In this scenario, entrepreneurial universities have configured entrepreneurial ecosystems (educational programmes, business incubators and other infrastructures) to support potential entrepreneurs (students, academics, staff and alumni). Despite the relevance of the environmental conditions on individuals' occupational choices, few studies have explored the role of the entrepreneurial university ecosystems on graduates' employability. In this vein, our study contributes to some academic discussions: (1) the role of context on career choice models (Ilouga et al., 2014; Sieger and Monsen, 2015), (2) the role of incubators and entrepreneurship education on fostering academic entrepreneurship on the graduates' community (Nabi et al., 2017; Good et al., 2019; Guerrero and Urbano, 2019a) and (3) the effectiveness of the entrepreneurial university ecosystems on graduates' employability (Herrera et al., 2018; Wright et al., 2017).

Students who followed on entrepreneurship education ware not differ with those who have not on their entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norm, and ESE statistically were significant as mediators of entrepreneurial motivation towards entrepreneurial intention. The research finding can be considered for a source of evaluation of entrepreneurship education programs in Indonesia.

The Impact

With the increasing popularity of entrepreneurship education programs across the world, the impact assessment of such programs has gathered considerable interest of the researchers. Growing number of studies are including entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) as a key predictor of future entrepreneurial behaviour and hence the scale for measuring ESE is central to majority of studies pertaining to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial behaviour. This study attempts to refine the existing instruments for measuring ESE by extensively reviewing the notable scales of ESE in literature and develops a comprehensive scale of ESE relevant in the Indian context. The additional components are added to the existing scales through expert discussions with the academicians as well as entrepreneurs. The scale is further verified for its reliability and validity by using appropriate statistical methods.
