Abstract

Using the entrepreneurial intention model, we examined how parental self-employment/role models impact the relation between the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention and social valuation, closer valuation, entrepreneurial skills, and environmental support. A total of 319 respondents were analysed by structural equation modelling. Multi-group analysis (MGA) was used to test the role of parental self-employment to establish if there is significant difference between respondents whose parents were self-employed and those whose parents were not into self-employment. This study revealed that respondents with parental self-employment perceive a higher attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, entrepreneurial skills, entrepreneurial support, and entrepreneurial intention than those without parental self-employment. However, the MGA established that the entrepreneurial intention for respondents with parental self-employment is similar to those without parental self-employment. The results of this study have policy implications especially in the area of learning and teaching of entrepreneurship.
