This study aims at examining the relationship between entrepreneurship education, culture, and the entrepreneurial intention of college students as well as investigating the moderating role of the entrepreneurial mindset. Structural equation modeling was adopted to gain a detailed understanding of the influence among variables. This study involved approximately 376 university students who enrolled in the entrepreneurship course. The findings indicate that the entrepreneurial mindset has successfully accelerated the entrepreneurial intention of university students. Partially, entrepreneurial culture has an impact on entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, both entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial culture have a robust correlation with students’ entrepreneurial mindset. Contrary to expectations, this study did not find a significant difference between entrepreneurship education and students’ entrepreneurial intention. These results imply that the university has positioned itself as a critical intervention in encouraging students’ intention through an effective entrepreneurship education model.

Demanding new ventures has been a global challenge, and the government responds to this issue through entrepreneurial education. Among the increasing studies on entrepreneurship, there is a lack of empirical evidence examining how entrepreneurial education prepares students being entrepreneurs. This study elaborates on several predicted variables that can drive students’ entrepreneurial preparation, including entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial knowledge, and entrepreneurial mindset. The methodological approach taken in this study is a quantitative method undergoing a survey model. The benefit of this approach aims to gain an understanding of how entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial knowledge, and entrepreneurial mindset can influence the entrepreneurial preparation of students. The respondents of this study were gathered from vocational students (SMK) in Jakarta of Indonesia were calculated using Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings showed that entrepreneurial education plays an essential role in determining knowledge and entrepreneurial mindset that leads to the entrepreneurial preparation of students. The finding also confirmed that entrepreneurial knowledge positively influences the entrepreneurial mindset, entrepreneurial preparation, and successfully mediates the impact of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial preparation. The latest finding is that the entrepreneurial mindset positively influences students’ entrepreneurial preparation.

Entrepreneurial intention plays a central role in stimulating the growth of entrepreneurs. The purpose of this investigation is to explore the relationship between several forecasted variables that can drive to students’ entrepreneurial intention, consisting of entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial attitude, family education, and environment. We applied a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey model to capture the digestion of how entrepreneurship education, family education, environment, and entrepreneurial attitude can explain the entrepreneurial intention of vocational students. This research used a convenience sample of vocational students in Malang of Indonesia and was analyzed undergoing Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). This work confirms that students’ environment can explain the intention and students’ attitudes toward entrepreneurship. However, this study failed in explaining the role of entrepreneurship education and family education informing intention instead of stimulation students’ entrepreneurial attitude. This study’s surprising finding can be an initial opportunity to elaborate an appropriate model of entrepreneurship education for vocational schools.

The Covid-19 pandemic has imposed the government to provide a mass restriction policy, and businesses respond to this issue by adopting technology and social media marketing. This study aims at highlighting the determinant factors affecting technology adoption, social media marketing, and business sustainability. The study involved a quantitative approach with partial least squares structural equation modeling to obtain a deep understanding of this phenomenon. The research was incorporated with small and businesses in East Java Provincial in Indonesia employing an online questionnaire. The findings show that the adoption of internet/e-business technology can be explained by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and cost. Furthermore, it has a link between internet/e-business technology, social media marketing, and SMEs’ sustainability. However, the cost variable failed in demonstrating the implementation of social media marketing by SMEs. This work strongly suggests that the adoption of internet/e-business technology and social media marketing successfully explains the mediating role between variables. Despite this work solely conducted in East Java, this research is the initial phase in a study associated with SMEs’ sustainability in the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine factors affecting the use of e-learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This survey study utilized a quantitative approach to understand the relationship variables by using SEM-PLS. An online questionnaire was distributed to collect information from respondents. A total of 250 questionnaires were gathered and 210 responses can be used for further analysis. The findings indicate that the students’ intention in using e-learning was determined by several variables, including perceived enjoyment, students experience, computer anxiety, and perceived self-efficacy. These findings also confirm that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness can explain the students’ intention in utilizing e-learning. The results provide an implication toward the importance of understanding factors of adoption of e-learning and how students can perceive e-learning as the response of the Covid-19 pandemic.
