Transforming Education into Enterprise: The Mediating Role of Alertness in Entrepreneurial Mindset and Intentions among Students at Al-Quds University
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03
Abstract
This study explores the impact of entrepreneurial mindset (the cognitive and behavioral aspects that drive entrepreneurship) and alertness on the conversion of education into entrepreneurial intentions (the intent to start a business after graduation) among university students. Focusing on Al-Quds University in Palestine, the research investigates how students' entrepreneurial attitudes, self-efficacy, and intentions are shaped by their educational experiences. Drawing on a sample of 511 students studying entrepreneurship, business management, or engineering, the study reveals that both entrepreneurial mindset (the cognitive and behavioral aspects that drive entrepreneurship) and alertness positively influence students' intentions to engage in entrepreneurial ventures after graduation. Furthermore, entrepreneurial alertness (the ability to recognize and act on opportunities in the environment) acts as a mediator between mindset and entrepreneurial intentions (the intent to start a business after graduation), enhancing the students' ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities. The findings underscore the importance of fostering entrepreneurial mindset (the cognitive and behavioral aspects that drive entrepreneurship) and alertness within higher education institutions to encourage students to transition from education to entrepreneurial action. This study provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and institutions looking to enhance entrepreneurial education and support the development of future entrepreneurs in developing economies.
