Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of family support, university support, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy on the entrepreneurial intention of students at Kasetsart University, Sriracha Campus. A questionnaire was employed as the research instrument. Data were collected from 389 students using stratified sampling by faculty. The findings reveal that family support, university support, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy positively influence entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy demonstrating the strongest effect. In addition, family support positively influences university support, and university support positively influences entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The results can be used to inform the development of institutional support systems and entrepreneurship-related activities to enhance students’ entrepreneurial readiness and intention in the future.
