Enhancing Entrepreneurial Mindset through Technological Integration in Higher Education in Pakistan

Abstract

The study examines the factors that shape student entrepreneurial mindsets, emphasizing entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intentions and technology-enabled learning platforms. A sample of university students was surveyed using a quantitative research design. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions are the strongest predictors of entrepreneurial mindset. Entrepreneurial mindsets are more likely to be exhibited by students who believe in their abilities to innovate, take risks, and be proactive. Moreover, the study highlights the positive impact of technology-enabled learning and collaborative platforms on entrepreneurial mindsets. An entrepreneurial mindset is significantly influenced by online courses and collaborative platforms. The development of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, reinforcement of entrepreneurial intentions, and the use of technology-enabled learning and collaborative platforms are essential for nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset among students. A holistic approach empowers students to develop the mindset, skills, and confidence they need to thrive as entrepreneurs and drive innovation in an increasingly dynamic and competitive world.
