Abstract

In this study, the researcher examines how student grades influence the entrepreneurial behavior of intermediate students, belief, self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial intention form mediating variables. A sample size of 400 respondents chosen by convenience sampling. The importance of each of the variables can be viewed with reference to employability: entrepreneurial education is perceived as a means that builds important or necessary competences, like thinking critically and being able to see opportunities. The mediators are hypothesized to enhance the relationship between academic performance and entrepreneurial behavior by serving as a booster that converts learning experiences and facilitating income to action-oriented directions. The study supports all direct and indirect hypotheses showing that the effect of belief, self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention can be seen as rather important to increase the predictive force of academical achievements on entrepreneurial success.
