Abstract

Entrepreneurship became the ideal alternative for young people to provide them with job opportunities in light of weak economies suffering from high unemployment rates. Therefore, the current study seeks to explore the moderating effect of entrepreneurial skills on the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention among young people. Especially that entrepreneurial intention is considered a significant indicator and an essential step towards the involvement of young people in entrepreneurial work. In total, 558 students from 4 business schools in Jordan have completed an online questionnaire. The author tested the study hypotheses through the structural equation modelling technique by using SmartPLS version 4 software. The study results revealed that self-efficacy and entrepreneurial skills positively affect entrepreneurial intention. In addition, the study results demonstrated that entrepreneurial skills have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the study findings, the author provided some practical implications for policymakers to stimulate entrepreneurial activity.
