Increasing Entrepreneurial Intention of Muslim Students Through Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Competence: The Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Mindset

This research examines the Impact of entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial competence, and entrepreneurial Encouragement on the entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial intention of Muslim students in South Kalimantan through an E-Form that is filled out independently. By applying structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis techniques with a reflective construct model. Data were collected from 314 respondents in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The hypothesis estimated using SEM PLS v4, this research found that entrepreneurship education, competence, and entrepreneurial Encouragement significantly affect entrepreneurial intention directly. However, an entrepreneurial mindset does not effectively mediate the connection among these variables. Thus, the result of this research indicate that a direct approach will be much more effective in developing entrepreneurial intention than an indirect approach through an entrepreneurial mindset. This research offers a fundamental perspective on the development of entrepreneurship education strategies for Muslim students by considering Islamic religious values in the development of entrepreneurial motivation and behaviour.
