Keywords:
Entrepreneurial Intention, Perceived Entrepreneurial Education, Undergraduate StudentsAbstract
This systematic review investigates the factors influencing students' entrepreneurial intention and the mediating effect of perceived entrepreneurial education in Xi'an, China. Using a comprehensive literature review, this study synthesizes existing empirical evidence and theoretical perspectives to understand the dynamics between various independent variables and entrepreneurial intention among undergraduate students. Key factors examined include perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, student attitude, perceived desirability, perceived self-efficacy, and risk-taking propensity. This review also explores the role of entrepreneurial education as a mediator. The findings provide insights for policymakers and educators aiming to enhance entrepreneurial intentions among students, contributing to the broader discourse on entrepreneurship education and economic development in China.
