Drawing from Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), the purpose of the study is to enhance understanding of the intention formation mechanism within the context of perceived barriers and self-efficacy (SE). The current study assesses whether SE mediates the relationship between perceived barriers and entrepreneurial intention (EI). The study specifically analyzed the relationship among perceived barriers, SE and EI. In addition, the direct and indirect effects of perceived barriers on intention are examined. Based on a survey of 471 undergraduate students who have taken management courses, our findings suggest the SE level of potential entrepreneurs is not sufficient to determine the intention formation even if the decisive effect of SE on EI is found. Therefore, in contrast to earlier studies, the results obtained from this study reveal the necessity to take into account the deterrent effect of the perceived barriers to evaluating the effect of SE in the formation of EI.

创业意图的感知障碍：自我效能的中介作用

本研究借鉴社会认知职业理论（SCCT），旨在加强对感知障碍和自我效能（SE）背景下的意图形成机制的理解。目前的研究评估了 SE 是否介导了感知障碍和创业意向 (EI) 之间的关系。该研究专门分析了感知障碍、SE和EI之间的关系。此外，还检查了感知障碍对意图的直接和间接影响。基于对 471 名参加过管理课程的本科生的调查，我们的研究结果表明，即使发现了 SE 对 EI 的决定性影响，潜在企业家的 SE 水平也不足以确定意图形成。因此，与早期的研究相比，
