Abstract

Smart-PLS (2.0) was used to analysis the data obtained from a sample of 432 students at six federal universities in northern Nigeria. The study found a significant positive relationship between entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial career option, but the study also found a significant negative relationship between entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial career option. Furthermore, the study found that entrepreneurial self-efficacy significantly mediates the relationship among entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial career option. The study provided suggestion for future research.
