Entrepreneurial Education at University Level and Entrepreneurship Development: An Analysis of Buitems University, Pakistan

Abstract

    This study investigated the role of entrepreneurial education in promoting entrepreneurship development between management sciences students at BUITEMS University, Quetta. It explored three dimensions of entrepreneurial education—generalized, motivational, and augmented—using the Theory of Planned Behavior and McClelland’s Theory of Achievement as frameworks. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire, with 203 responses analyzed using SPSS 20.0. The findings indicated that generalized education built essential entrepreneurial knowledge, motivational education enhanced entrepreneurial intentions, and augmented education, emphasizing practical exposure, had the greatest impact. The study proposed integrating experiential learning elements, such as internships and business simulations, into the curriculum to strengthen entrepreneurial skills. Enhancing university-industry linkages and providing financial and technical support were also suggested to better associate educational outcomes with market demands. These insights offer assistance for policymakers and educators to develop effective programs, address unemployment challenges, and advance entrepreneurial capabilities among youth in Pakistan.
