| 總結: | Aconsiderable amount ofstudiesonthe influence of role models on entrepreneurial intentionshave been conducted. However, the specific mechanism by which role models exercise such influence is not yet fully discovered. This paper attempts to explore such mechanism, with the possiblemediating effect from entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and expectedmoderating effect from perceived similarity and previous entrepreneurial experience. The author used quantitative method with a sample of 205 undergraduate business-majored students of Foreign Trade University in Vietnam.The results show that role models positively impact students’entrepreneurial intentions, both directly and indirectly via the mediator which is entrepreneurial self-efficacy.Contrary to the expectations,perceived similarity and previous entrepreneurial experience appear to have no significant moderating impact on how role models alter respondents’ self-evaluation of their business-related competency.This research contributesto the literatures regarding antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions, backing upthe idea that entrepreneurial self-efficacy could be an efficient mediating variable in models related to entrepreneurial intentions |
