Abstract

Entrepreneurship education is widely recognized as an important factor in fostering entrepreneurial intention, yet the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain insufficiently understood. This study examines the mediating role of entrepreneurial readiness and whether the relationships among entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial readiness, and entrepreneurial intention differ by gender. Entrepreneurial readiness is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct comprising entrepreneurial motivation, entrepreneurial attitude, and entrepreneurial competence. Using survey data from 2,082 students at two public universities in Jambi, Indonesia, the model was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), while gender differences were examined using Partial Least Squares Multi-Group Analysis (PLS-MGA). The results show that entrepreneurship education positively affects entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial readiness. Entrepreneurial readiness also positively affects entrepreneurial intention and significantly mediates the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. Gender differences were found only in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial readiness, whereas the relationships involving entrepreneurial intention did not differ significantly between male and female students. These findings position entrepreneurial readiness as a multidimensional mechanism linking entrepreneurship education to entrepreneurial intention and indicate that gender differences are more evident in the development of readiness than in entrepreneurial intention itself.
