Entrepreneurship Education and Green Entrepreneurial Intention: A Religious Perspective as a Moderating Variable

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how entrepreneurial education and religiosity affect green entrepreneurial intention and how religiosity influences the relationship between the two. A quantitative approach was applied through a survey of 200 prospective teacher students at the Faculty of Economics and Business Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Using SEM-PLS, the study evaluated the causal relationships among variables. The results indicate that both entrepreneurial education and religiosity significantly influence students' green entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, religiosity strengthens the relationship between entrepreneurial education and green entrepreneurial intention. The study contributes to theory by demonstrating that religiosity plays a critical role in enhancing the impact of entrepreneurial education on green entrepreneurial intention. Practically, the findings suggest that higher education institutions should design entrepreneurial programs that incorporate religious values and sustainability, emphasizing ethical consciousness and social responsibility alongside commercial skills. This study provides new insights into green entrepreneurial intention by highlighting religiosity as a moderating factor.
