The purpose of this paper is to propose and test a model to examine the factors that mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students in Ghana. Specifically, the study identified entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours (namely, risk-taking ability, self-efficacy, pro-activeness and behavioural control) that students ought to acquire through entrepreneurial education to increase their intentions to indulge in entrepreneurship.,The survey approach was adopted, with data collection done through administering questionnaires to students in the two public universities in the Central Region of Ghana. The model was tested using the partial least squares procedure.,The results found support for the proposed model, depicting that, with the exception of self-efficacy, other factors such as behavioural control, risk-taking ability and pro-activeness mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intentions of students.,The major limitation of this study is that the proposed model was tested in only the public universities in the Central Region of Ghana. Subsequently, the validity of the model should be confirmed in other institutions.,The findings suggest that entrepreneurial education should be integrated into the course structure of all programmes across all disciplines in the tertiary institutions of Ghana. This will promote entrepreneurship and alleviate unemployment among university graduates.,The study provides a basis for tertiary institutions to develop programmes, policies and measures to help students to build upon their ability to take a risk, control their behaviour and be pro-active. This will influence their quest to become self-employed and not to rely on others and the government for employment after graduation.

探索加纳大学生创业教育与创业意图之间关系的因素

本文的目的是提出并测试一个模型，以研究介导加纳大学生创业教育与创业意图之间关系的因素。具体而言，该研究确定了学生应通过创业教育获得的创业态度和行为（即冒险能力，自我效能感，积极主动性和行为控制），以增加他们沉迷于创业的意图。通过对加纳中部两所公立大学的学生进行问卷调查来收集数据。使用偏最小二乘程序对模型进行了测试。结果为所提出的模型提供了支持，表明除自我效能外，行为控制，冒险能力和积极性等其他因素介导了创业教育与学生创业意图之间的关系。本研究的主要局限在于，该模型仅在中部地区的公立大学中进行了测试。加纳。随后，该模型的有效性应在其他机构中得到证实。研究结果表明，创业教育应被纳入加纳大专院校所有学科的所有课程的课程结构中。这将促进企业家精神并减轻大学毕业生的失业。该研究为高等院校制定计划，政策和措施提供了基础，以帮助学生增强其冒险能力，控制他们的行为并积极主动。这将影响他们追求自谋职业，而不是在毕业后依靠他人和政府就业的追求。
