| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | This research investigates factors influencing cross-cultural youth entrepreneurial intentions, focusing on Chinese students in Thailand through a series of interconnected studies. Study 1 employed the Delphi method, involving experts from corporate management, business education, and government sectors in China and Thailand, to establish a validated evaluation framework. Study 2 empirically examined these factors, finding that social support positively influences entrepreneurial intentions, with entrepreneurial passion acting as a partial mediator. Study 3 analyzed demographic factors, showing significant variations in entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurship based on age and birthplace, and confirmed a positive relationship between those factors. Study 4 explored moderating roles of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurship, revealing entrepreneurial education strengthens the positive effects of social support on passion and intentions, while entrepreneurship moderates the link between passion and intentions. Study 5utilized focus groups to examine cross-cultural experiences, highlighting the critical role of social support and entrepreneurial passion in shaping intentions, despite cultural adaptation challenges. The findings of this research are as follows. Study 1 revealed experts reached a consensus on the pivotal role of social support, entrepreneurial passion, and education in shaping entrepreneurial intentions, culminating in a validated evaluation framework. Study 2 indicated that social support significantly enhances entrepreneurial intentions, with entrepreneurial passion acting as a partial mediator, showing statistical significance. Study 3 showed that demographic factors, particularly birthplace and age, significantly influenced entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurship and confirmed positive relationship between those factors. Study 4 demonstrated that entrepreneurial education enhanced the positive effects of social support on entrepreneurial passion and intentions. Additionally, entrepreneurship moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and intentions, showing the importance of educational interventions. In Study 5, focus groups revealed that social support and entrepreneurial passion are crucial in shaping intentions, despite cultural adaptation challenges. These insights highlighted the complex cross-cultural dynamics influencing entrepreneurial intentions. These studies offer actionable recommendations for policymakers and educators to enhance social support, cultivate entrepreneurial passion, and improve entrepreneurial education to support youth entrepreneurship in diverse cultural settings |
