| Summary: | This study focuses on evaluating the indirect relationship among
entrepreneurial education, attitude and intention to become an online
entrepreneur among students in Online Distance Learning higher institutions
in Malaysia. To assess the indirect effect of attitude on the relationship
between entrepreneurial education and intention, the Structural Equation
Model technique was employed. The model was designed and later analysed
using the Partial Least Square procedure on data collected from a survey that
yielded 317 usable questionnaires. The results demonstrated that attitude has
a mediating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and
intention to become an online entrepreneur among students in Malaysian
Online Distance Learning higher institutions. The findings suggest that Online
Distance Learning institutions should give a greater emphasis on
strengthening entrepreneurial education and attitude to ensure their Online
Distance Learning students have strong intention to become online
entrepreneurs. (Abstract by authors)
