Abstract

This research examines the impact of role models and university support on the entrepreneurial intention of University of South Tangerang students, with self-efficacy serving as a mediation factor. The study involved a sample of 268 students and employed a descriptive design with purposive sampling through a questionnaire survey. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS, and resulting that both self-efficacy and university support have a significant and positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Nevertheless, role models did not have a direct and significant impact on entrepreneurial inclinations. Furthermore, this study revealed that role models and university support positively and significantly influence students’ self-efficacy. Self-efficacy functioned as a mediator between role models, university support, and entrepreneurial intentions relationship. These insights are valuable for universities in shaping policies related to entrepreneurial education, aiming to enhance students’ entrepreneurial intentions as well as to encourage their entrepreneurial activities.
