Abstract
This research delves into the intricate relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) by investigating the mediating role of entrepreneurial education. In an era characterized by dynamic market landscapes and evolving entrepreneurial ecosystems, understanding the factors that influence individuals' intentions to engage in entrepreneurship is of paramount importance. The study employs a comprehensive framework, drawing on the entrepreneurial orientation literature and incorporating the crucial role of educational interventions. The primary objective of this research is to empirically examine the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on entrepreneurial intention, exploring the nuanced pathways through which entrepreneurial education acts as a mediator in this relationship. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and in-depth interviews, data is collected from a diverse sample of aspiring entrepreneurs. Findings from this study contribute to the theoretical understanding of the entrepreneurial process by shedding light on the intricate dynamics between EO, EI, and entrepreneurial education. Practical implications of the research extend to educators, policymakers, and business practitioners, offering insights into the design and implementation of effective entrepreneurial education programs that can foster and enhance entrepreneurial intentions.
