Abstract

Inclusive entrepreneurship refers to the participation of under-represented groups in entrepreneurialism in order to assist them in overcoming social and economic challenges as well, that plays a very significant role in poverty reduction. This study propounds that the main solution to this issue is to promote inclusive entrepreneurship (the definition of inclusive entrepreneur is who produce inclusive as well as innovative services and goods). Among students who are graduating from tertiary education in Malaysia. The theory of planned behaviour is employed to predict the inclusive entrepreneurial intention that can be the key to bridge the existing gaps in understanding the intention of youth to be inclusive entrepreneurs, also testing the moderation effect of gender to compare the males’ and females’ behavioural traits towards the intention of being an inclusive entrepreneur. The regression analysis results show attitude and perceived behavioural control are significant towards Inclusive Entrepreneurial Intention, and the moderation effect of gender is significant for the relationship of attitude towards inclusive entrepreneurial intention. Concluding the males express higher intention than females to provide high-quality products at very low costs sustainably and considering the mass outreach as well as including the excluded population which is translated to inclusive products or services.
