Linking entrepreneurship education to student entrepreneurial intention: Moderating effect of teaching quality

The aim in this research was to enhance comprehension of how entrepreneurial education fosters the inclination of college students to engage in start-up activities. Specifically, I investigated how teaching quality moderates the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. The research was conducted using cross-sectional data collected from 275 business students at Shanxi University in China who had completed an entrepreneurship course. They were selected through convenience sampling. Regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that entrepreneurship education significantly predicted entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, teaching quality was a significant moderator in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the moderating effect of teaching quality on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. The results suggest that educators should concentrate on enhancing entrepreneurship education and teaching quality to facilitate entrepreneurial intention among college students.
