Clearing the Hurdles in the Entrepreneurial Race: The Role of Resilience in Entrepreneurship Education

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Entrepreneurship education equips students with competencies to manage the challenging circumstances inherent in entrepreneurial activity. One such competency is resilience, the capacity to address, adapt to, and overcome adversity, uncertainty, and change. Drawing upon the theory of planned behavior, we examine one specific entrepreneurship education intervention designed to increase resilience and investigate its effect on entrepreneurial intention. Using a quasi-experimental design, we find that our intervention has an indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through resilience and the antecedents of intention (perceived behavioral control, attitude, and subjective norm). This study contributes new ideas for learning methods to foster resilience and entrepreneurial intention, such as the design-thinking approach or learning from failure.
