Application of Shapero and Sokol's entrepreneurial event model to hospitality management students

The data were collected and tested to determine whether perceived desirability of entrepreneurship, perceived feasibility of entrepreneurship and propensity to act entrepreneurially have significantly positive links with hospitality management students' entrepreneurial intentions. Survey Research design was adopted. A self-reported questionnaire was administered to collect the data. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Data analysis showed that perceived desirability of entrepreneurship, perceived feasibility of entrepreneurship and propensity to act entrepreneurially had significantly positive links with hospitality management students' entrepreneurial intentions. The findings suggest that hospitality management students would take entrepreneurial action if they see that entrepreneurship is desirable and practicable.
