Abstract

The economic slowdown and limited employment opportunities are opening the path for more self-employment opportunities. This allows unemployed students or students with an entrepreneurial mindset to utilize the knowledge and also skills learned through an MBA program and put them into practice in their entrepreneurial endeavors. As a result, some higher learning institutions have started their entrepreneurship programs or courses to equip the students with the knowledge and also skills for their self-employment upon graduation. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the influence of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial career choice among MBA students. Employing quantitative research, 238 MBA students of UTM participated in this survey. The results indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial career choice. Additionally, instrumental readiness was found to mediate this relationship.
