Sažetak
This paper studies the mediating role of self-efficacy belief in
explaining the effect of entrepreneurial education on opportunitydriven
entrepreneurship. The influence of education on entrepreneurship
is a top concern of both researchers and policymakers,
who often struggle to understand how this influence occurs.
Looking through the theoretical lens of the theory of planned
behaviour (TPB), this study contributes to a better understanding of
the nomological network of opportunity-driven entrepreneurship.
Data from the 2016 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey
yielding a sample of 1,008 entrepreneurs from various Spanish
regions with diverse levels of development were used. The results
of this study show that self-efficacy belief represents the generative
mechanism by which entrepreneurial education influences opportunity-
driven entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the results provide
evidence of the importance of supporting entrepreneurship education.
Policymakers should be focused on reinforcing those skills and
competencies that increase self-efficacy belief, enable the individual
capability for action and provide a better understanding of business
opportunities in the contemporary environment.
