Purpose

Entrepreneurship drives economic growth, innovation and job creation. Governments and educational institutions worldwide recognize the importance of encouraging and helping potential entrepreneurs. This study investigates how country entrepreneurship support (CES), university entrepreneurship support (UES) and entrepreneurial self-efficacy influence independence-oriented intentions and sustainability-driven entrepreneurship

Design/methodology/approach

By adopting the quantitative method and following the convenience sampling technique, an online survey was distributed via social media to gather the data, and 326 people were involved in the sample. The CFA measurement model proposes that the suggested data is appropriate for empirical analysis, and structural equation modelling analysis was adopted for the hypothesis analysis through Mplus.

Findings

The dependent variable, independence-oriented intention, was only influenced by entrepreneurial self-efficacy. In contrast, it was not influenced by country and university entrepreneurial support. The second dependent variable, sustainability-driven entrepreneurial, was influenced by country entrepreneurial support and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. In contrast, it was not influenced by university entrepreneurial support. The present study aims to enhance our comprehension of the entrepreneurship phenomenon within various national and cultural contexts.

Originality/value

The study shows how country entrepreneurial support, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and university entrepreneurial support affect entrepreneurship. This study assesses the efficacy of current support policies and programs.
