Abstract

This study investigates the low entrepreneurial intention among students amid the increasing demand for job creation. Despite the integration of entrepreneurship education into higher education curricula, a significant disparity remains in students' motivation to pursue entrepreneurial careers. Consequently, this research aims to elucidate the influence of entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, it examines the mediating roles of entrepreneurial attitude and self-efficacy, along with the moderating effect of the family environment, among students at Udayana University. Employing a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, this study involved 200 student respondents who had completed entrepreneurship coursework. Participants were selected via non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-PLS with  SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurship education exert positive and significant effects on students' entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, entrepreneurship education significantly influences both entrepreneurial attitude and self-efficacy. Mediation analysis confirms that entrepreneurial attitude and self-efficacy mediate the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. While the family environment does not demonstrate a direct effect on intention, it functions as a pure moderator; it significantly strengthens the impact of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurship education on intention, yet attenuates the influence of entrepreneurial attitude. This research contributes to the empirical strengthening of the Theory of Planned Behavior and provides practical implications for enhancing the entrepreneurial ecosystem within higher education institutions.
