Abstract
This present research examines the effect of Entrepreneurial selfefficacy
(ESE) and its sub-constructs on Entrepreneurial success
(ES). The study uses primary data gathered from students, enrolled
in entrepreneurial courses offered by topmost 100 ranked higher
educational institutions (HEI). The questionnaire was sent to 500
students and 323 valid responses were considered (response rate:
64.6%). Among these, 195 were males, and 128 females. The study
was carried out in Punjab, Haryana, and National Capital Region,
regions of Northern India. The present study used SPSS software
to investigate the relationship between “regressed on” and
“regress on” variables. McGee’s scale was used to measure ESE.
For measuring the dependent variable, i.e., “ES,” items were taken
from scale of Linan, Battistelli, & Moriano. The results exhibited
that three out of five sub-constructs of ESE, i.e., planning, implementing
people, and implementing Finance, were positively significant
to ES. The study suggests focusing on these three subscales
for achieving success. Due policies are needed to emphasize
ESE-Searching and ESE-Marshalling. In future, studies could be
undertaken by taking gender and education as control variables
