Abstract
Entrepreneurial intention is an essential aspect of encouraging innovation and creating business opportunities. Risk perception often inhibits someone from starting a business, while entrepreneurship education is expected to help individuals develop the skills and mindset needed to deal with risks effectively.
This study examines the influence of risk perception and entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial mindset as a mediating variable. Data were collected from students of state and private universities in Yogyakarta who had participated in entrepreneurship education programs. Path analysis examined the direct and indirect relationships between the variables.
The study^s results provide new insights into the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset in mitigating risk barriers and its influence on entrepreneurship education. The findings emphasize the importance of educational programs that cultivate a proactive mindset, enabling learners to overcome risk barriers and enhance their entrepreneurial intentions.
