Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study takes a comprehensive approach to entrepreneurship education (EE) among Pakistani business students, exploring the intricate interplay of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), need for achievement (NFA), and entrepreneurial intention (EI). Focusing on business students with specific knowledge and perspectives on entrepreneurship in Pakistan, this study aims to bridge the existing research gap by drawing on various theories and philosophies. The main objective is to demonstrate how EE influences the development of ESE, NFA, and EI, thereby providing a thorough understanding for university administrators and policymakers to design targeted EE programs. The data was collected from 104 individuals using Google Forms and analyzed through Smart PLS 4.0, ensuring ethics, participant consent, openness, and confidentiality. The results offer a comprehensive view of the entrepreneurial aspirations of Pakistani university students, thereby enriching academic discourse and informing the formulation of educational policies and practices.
