Abstract

In Vietnam’s current push for innovation and entrepreneurship, university students are seen as a vital force for building the next generation of entrepreneurs, but their entrepreneurial intentions still face many barriers and lack real motivation. This study examines the factors that shape students’ entrepreneurial intentions and provides practical implications for education and policy. Data were collected from 400 business administration students at the University of Finance and Marketing (UFM) using convenience sampling, with 36 measurement items analyzed through PLS-SEM. The results show that Perceived Desirability (PD) is the strongest predictor of entrepreneurial intention and also moderates the link between Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) and entrepreneurial intention (EI). Entrepreneurship Education (EE) indirectly influences EI through ATE and PBC, while Subjective Norms (SN) and Perceived Feasibility (PF) are not significant. These findings suggest that universities should focus on designing more experiential, motivation-based entrepreneurship programs, while policymakers should adjust support initiatives to emphasize the personal appeal and long-term motivation of entrepreneurship.
