New look of predicting entrepreneurial intention: a serial mediation analysis.
Abstract
The aim of current study is to examine the direct contributing role of emotional intelligence in predicting entrepreneurial intention by adding two mediators: entrepreneurial self-efficacy and self-regulation, and serial mediation model. The population of the study is final year students of various public sector universities of KP (Pakistan) enrolled in business administration programs. A survey research strategy is employed with simple random sampling. Questionnaire is used as primary data collecting instrument from 352 respondents having Likert type scales. Descriptive statistics is employed. Relationship related hypotheses are tested through Pearson correlation analysis. It is concluded that emotional intelligence, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and self-regulation all are important attributes of students, which infuse the feelings of entrepreneurial intention among them.
