Excerpt:
Green entrepreneurship refers to creating new businesses that focus on environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Understanding the factors that influence students’ intention to engage in green entrepreneurship can help develop educational programs, policies, and strategies promoting sustainable entrepreneurship. Research in this area can help identify the key drivers and barriers that affect students’ intentions to engage in green entrepreneurship. These studies can investigate the impact of entrepreneurship education, environmental awareness, personal values, and resource access on students’ intention to engage in green entrepreneurship. This study investigated the variables influencing university students’ intentions to engage in green entrepreneurship using structural equation modeling of a sample of 494 university students. The results show that country support, subjective norms, risk aversion, and self‐efficacy significantly affect the intention to be a green entrepreneur, but do not hold much importance according to the respondents; risk aversion had the highest influence. The results also indicate that university students between 18 and 25 have the highest interest in green entrepreneurship.
