Abstract/Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of risk aversion on entrepreneurial intention as mediated by the theory of planned behavior. The study will also investigate the moderating effect of accounting education in the effect of self-efficacy to entrepreneurial intention. The components of the study will be measured through a five-point Likert scale. The data that will be obtained will be analyzed using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling statistical tool and summarized through the use of descriptive statistics. In addition, convergent validity, discriminant validity, full collinearity VIF, reliability coefficient of the latent variables, model fit, and quality indices were performed. The concluded findings of the study determined that hypothesis two to eight as well as sixteen to nineteen are significant. The rest of the hypothesis for the direct effects of the variables such as hypothesis one as well as twenty to twenty-two are insignificant. It was also determined that age and sex are not significant towards entrepreneurship. For the moderating effects of the variables, only implementing people and venture planning were found to be significant. Finally, for the mediating effects of the variables, only risk aversion as mediated by personal attitude towards entrepreneurial intention were found to be significant.
