This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial literacy and social capital on
entrepreneurial intentions, with attitude serving as a moderating variable, among
Economic Education students at Jambi University. The primary objective is to
identify how knowledge, social networks, and psychological disposition interact to
shape students’ entrepreneurial aspirations. A quantitative research design was
applied, utilizing a survey method with a sample of 121 students from the
2021–2022 cohort. Path analysis was employed to test the relationships among
variables and to evaluate the moderating role of attitude.
The results demonstrate that entrepreneurial literacy has a significant positive
ef ect on entrepreneurial intentions, indicating that students with higher
entrepreneurial knowledge and skills are more likely to engage in entrepreneurial
activities. Similarly, social capital was found to positively influence
entrepreneurial intentions, emphasizing the role of networks, trust, and social
support in fostering entrepreneurship. Moreover, attitude significantly moderates
these relationships, strengthening the impact of both entrepreneurial literacy and
social capital on entrepreneurial intentions.
These findings highlight the importance of integrating entrepreneurship literacy
and social networking opportunities within higher education curricula while
fostering positive entrepreneurial attitudes. Future research is recommended to
expand the model across dif erent institutions and employ longitudinal designs to
examine causal relationships more comprehensively.
