We ensured that ethical considerations and integrity were maintained throughout the data gathering and analysis process.
This research aims to investigate university students' entrepreneurial intentions, considering personal, social, and environmental elements that influence their aspirations towards entrepreneurship. It further strives to enhance the existing body of knowledge by recognizing determinants that influence students' entrepreneurial visions, particularly among students in their final semesters. The primary concern is establishing and refining entrepreneurial initiatives on campus. Data collection was conducted through a structured survey questionnaire with 250 business school university students enrolled in their final semester. Final-semester students are better positioned to provide data on university support due to their extensive experience, and they are at an appropriate stage in their career decisions. We employed structural equation modeling in SmartPLS for hypothesis testing. We ensured that ethical considerations and integrity were maintained throughout the data gathering and analysis process. This research sheds light on the interconnected aspects of entrepreneurial visions among students by highlighting the less-researched area of financial independence. The practical insights from this study signify the entrepreneurial support within academia and facilitate higher educational institutions and policymakers. At a macro level, it facilitates employment creation and the growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem among youngsters. The theoretical framework of this study has been validated, and the findings confirm most of the hypotheses, except for the connection between physical fitness and intentions. Physical fitness and mental endurance served as critical indicators of business visions. However, University entrepreneurial support secures itself as a vital precursor of business aspirations. Additionally, financial independence leads students towards business initiatives by eliminating financial constraints.
