    (2018) Kazmi, Syed Zaheer Abbas; Nábrádi, András; Ihrig Károly gazdálkodás- és szervezéstudományok doktori iskola
    The study was aimed at exploring the impact of entrepreneurship education on students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Two underlying mechanisms were also studied as mediators. Chapter 1 of the dissertation describes an overview of the topic. It also discusses aims and objectives of the research and hypotheses of the study. Chapter 2 discusses literature related to entrepreneurship education and intentionality. It starts with a brief history of entrepreneurship. Role of religion with entrepreneurship is also discussed very briefly. Literature on the main variables and their association is discussed. Entrepreneurship education and its relationship with entrepreneurial intentions, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability is discussed in the light of literature from previous studies. Chapter 3 discusses methodology of the research. It has a mixed methodology as both qualitative and quantitative research designs have been utilized. Survey questionnaire was administrated for data collection. In the study 1, in-depth interviews from 4 professors of Hungary and 6 professors of Pakistan were carried out. In the study 2, questionnaire data was collected from 542 students of bachelors and master from a public sector university of Pakistan. 184 questionnaires from a public sector university of Hungary were collected for study 2. Study 3 included sample of 523 tertiary level and 213 secondary level students from Pakistan. There were 98 university level, 80 secondary level from traditional system and 69 secondary level from the business education students from Hungary for study 3. Study 4 included in-depth interviews of 5 Pakistani and 4 Hungarian entrepreneurs. Chapter 4 discusses findings. Descriptive statistics are presented in the shape of graphs with brief description. Correlation and regression results for each study are presented in the tables with interpretation. Hypotheses 4 and 5 are accepted whereas hypotheses 1, 2, 3 and 6 are rejected on the basis of results. Chapter 5 discusses conclusions and recommendations. Chapter 6 describes the main findings and novel contribution. It is briefly concluded from the research that entrepreneurship has no significant relationship with students’ entrepreneurial intentions, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial desirability. However, students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability are positively associated with the students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The study recommends for future research employing experimental designs for better understanding of the relationships. Academicians and policy makers need to look into an entrepreneurship education curriculum which enhances students’ entrepreneurial intentions.

    New venture creation – the influence of entrepreneurship education on students’ behavior (a literature – review based study)
    (2017-06-30) Kazmi, Syed Zaheer Abbas; Nábrádi, András
    Entrepreneurship brings economic growth and development through the process of venture creation. These new business enterprises have a very important and positive impact on employment generation, poverty alleviation, and socio-economic development. Entrepreneurship education influences the attitude and behavior of students to form intentions of self-employability. We have analyzed the literature to clearly understand the relationship between entrepreneurship education and intentionality and the underlying mechanisms through which entrepreneurship education impacts intentions to start new ventures. By utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), we propose that entrepreneurship education increases students’ perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived desirability for starting new ventures. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability in turn impact and increase students’ entrepreneurial intentions for creating new ventures. Entrepreneurship Education Programs (EEPs) focusing “Education for entrepreneurship” have more influence on intentionality through self-efficacy and desirability. Comparatively, EEPs concentrating on “Education about entrepreneurship” will have less impacts on the intentionality. The study has important theoretical and practical implications for researchers, academicians, policy makers and potential entrepreneurs – the students. JEL. Code: A2, L6

    (2018-07-07) Kazmi, Syed Zaheer Abbas
    Entrepreneurship brings enormous benefits. It generates employment and helps in social and economic development. Ventures created through the youth entrepreneurship have enormous benefits. They generate employment, reduce poverty and unequitable distribution of wealth. These ventures do also help in social, economic and technological development. However, the youth faces several barriers to entrepreneurship. This study explores the personal & psychological, family related, institutional & regulatory, cultural & social, financial and market & knowledge barriers faced by the youth of Hungary and Pakistan. Qualitative research methodology was applied. Interviews at micro and meso levels were conducted from the young entrepreneurs and university professors of Pakistan and Hungary. Results indicate that Pakistan and Hungary have almost similar levels of Personal & Psychological barriers, however, the fear of failure is higher in Hungary than in Pakistan. Family related, cultural & social and market & knowledge barriers are higher in Pakistan for the youth entrepreneurship than Hungary. Institutional & regulatory and financial barriers are at medium levels in Pakistan. For Hungary, these are at low levels. The study has important implications for researchers, academicians, policy makers and for the young aspiring entrepreneurs.

    What differentiates the entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs on nature and nurture?
    (2017-12-31) Kazmi, Syed Zaheer Abbas; Khan, Samiuddin; Nábrádi, András
    Based on the importance and contribution of entrepreneurship in economic development, it is vital to know that what underlying factors may promote the spirit of entrepreneurship? The entrepreneurship literature suggests two kinds of broader influencers or predictors for entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs “nature” and “nurture”. In this study “nature” includes the psychological or personality related factors; self-confidence, locus of control, risk-taking propensity and trust levels. The “nurture” is explained by the effects from society in general and friends and family in particular. To answer the question “What differentiates the entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs on nature and nurture?” we collected data through questionnaire from 155 respondents. The 70 respondents were entrepreneurs and 85 were non-entrepreneurs. Step-wise discriminant analysis was used to determine the discriminating factors for entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs. Results indicate that societal impacts, risk taking propensity and trust levels were significantly discriminating the two groups; entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs. The study has important implications for policy makers, academicians, researchers and potential entrepreneurs. JEL Code: L26, M13
