The study of international entrepreneurship intention (IEI) and behavior is an emerging field of research interest that is gaining momentum. This paper explored the antecedents of IEI as well as the role of international entrepreneurship education in nurturing the same. The paper set out the theoretical model based on the theory of planned behavior and attempted to revisit and ascertain it for IEI through empirical investigation. The role of universities and campuses in the development of entrepreneurial activities enable young and nascent entrepreneurs to develop intentions that can be later converted into actual behavior in form of venture creation. Hence, the respondents selected were post-graduate students, and a sample of 321 students was collected through a self-designed questionnaire. Data analysis was done using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The findings suggest that the influential factors for international entrepreneurship intentions are global mindset and perceived behavior control. It was also established in this study that international entrepreneurship education plays a significant and mediating role between global mindset on IEI and enhances the impact of the global mindset. Global mindset is much needed for the students to have a broader understanding of entrepreneurship at a global level and it can affect the IEI. This paper has contributed a new understanding by linking international entrepreneurship intentions with international entrepreneurship education through the theory of planned behavior approach. The results and findings will help policymakers and educators to design and implement the curriculum of entrepreneurship education with respect to internationalization.

国际商务专业学生国际创业意向前因:国际创业教育的中介作用

对国际创业意向 (IEI) 和行为的研究是一个新兴的研究兴趣领域,其势头正在增强。本文探讨了 IEI 的前身以及国际创业教育在培养 IEI 方面的作用。本文基于计划行为理论建立了理论模型,并试图通过实证研究对IEI进行重新审视和确定。大学和校园在创业活动发展中的作用使年轻和初出茅庐的创业者能够形成意向,这些意向可以在以后以创业的形式转化为实际行为。因此,选择的受访者是研究生,并通过自行设计的问卷收集了 321 名学生的样本。使用验证性因素分析和结构方程模型进行数据分析。研究结果表明,影响国际创业意向的因素是全球化思维和感知行为控制。本研究还证实,国际创业教育在全球思维对 IEI 的影响和增强全球思维的影响之间起着重要的中介作用。学生非常需要全球思维​​,以便在全球范围内对创业有更广泛的理解,它会影响 IEI。本文通过计划行为理论将国际创业意向与国际创业教育联系起来,提供了新的认识。
