Abstract
Converting technical students into entrepreneurs is not a new concept, but now it is a necessary one to effectively address the unemployment issue. The present study explores the moderation effect of entrepreneurial attitude dimensions (i.e., achievement, innovation, personal control, and self-esteem) in the link between entrepreneurial characteristics and self-employment intention among technical undergraduates studying in different government and private technical institutions of Chhattisgarh state. Authors incorporated stratified random sampling method for collecting primary data. About 1245 questionnaires were sent to the technical students in which 1000 questionnaires were returned usable for analysis. Analysis revealed that the entrepreneurial attitude dimensions (i.e., achievement, innovation, personal control, and self-esteem) were found statistically significant moderator in the link between entrepreneurial characteristics and self-employment intention among technical undergraduates of Chhattisgarh state. However, the interaction effect was found to be negative.
