摘要：This study develops a mediated model to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial selfefficacy
and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. This model also focuses on examining
the role of subjective norms on shaping entrepreneurial intention. By using a meta-analytic
path analysis with a sample of 2218 students at 14 universities in Vietnam and based on the theory
of planned behaviour, authors find that subjective norms did not directly influence on entrepreneurial
intention but it had strong indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through entrepreneurial
self-efficacy, attitude toward entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control. Moreover, the
relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention was also mediated by attitude towards
entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control. In terms of direct effect, the result illustrates
that attitudes towards entrepreneurship had the strongest effect on entrepreneurial intention
among Vietnamese students, followed by entrepreneurial self-efficacy. These findings also show
that the theory of planned behaviour could be effectively applied in the context of transitional economics
in Vietnam.
