Abstract
For most colleges today, contributing
to the economy has become
a major problem. To meet these
challenges, universities began to
promote entrepreneurship education
among their students. Past
studies reveal that personality
traits significantly impact entrepreneurial
intentions. Hence, the
present study aims to analyze the
mediation of locus of control for
attitudes towards entrepreneurship
and entrepreneurial intentions
among engineering students.
The responses were collected
from 600 engineering students
in the district of Indore.
The results of a simple mediation
analysis show that the locus of
control has a partial mediating
effect on the attitude towards
entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial
intention relationship.
