The Effect of Entrepreneurship Education on Entrepreneurial Intention of Vocational High School Students in the City of Malang: Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Entrepreneurial Mindset as Mediating Variables

This study examines the impact of entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial mindset as mediating variables. Using a quantitative survey approach with SEM-PLS analysis, data were collected from 182 SMK class XII students in Malang City. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship education significantly influences entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial mindset, and entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, entrepreneurial mindset positively mediates the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. However, entrepreneurial self-efficacy has no significant effect on entrepreneurial intention and does not function as a mediator. These results highlight the need for vocational education institutions to enhance entrepreneurship programs to align with market demands and business trends.
