•This study examines the moderating role of gender in the relationship between entrepreneurial education (EE) and entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of graduates in Bangladesh.•The findings revealed ...that EE significantly impacts EI, but gender does not moderate the relationship between EE and EI.•The higher authorities of Bangladesh and other developing countries must focus more on EE in their educational institutions.•Universities should create equal opportunities for their male and female graduates to become an entrepreneur.
Global experts are increasingly concerned about entrepreneurship development; specifically, entrepreneurship education (EE) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) have received growing attention in Asian entrepreneurship research. According to the assumption of the human capital theory, EI can be enhanced through EE. On the other hand, previous research indicates that the intention to be an entrepreneur varies across males and females. Thus, the fundamental objective of this study was to examine the impact of EE on EI among graduates in Bangladesh via the moderating role of gender. A structured questionnaire was created in Google Form and distributed to respondents via social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Messenger. The snowball sampling approach was used to yield a sample size of 449 graduates from various Bangladeshi universities. To test the moderation effect, multi-group analysis was performed using the analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software. The findings revealed that EE significantly impacts EI, but gender does not moderate this relationship. Therefore, the higher authorities of Bangladesh and other developing countries must place more emphasis on EE in educational institutions. Additionally, universities should create opportunities for their male and female graduates to become entrepreneurs.
The aim of the present study was to examine the mediation effects of resilience and stress, two perceived opposite constructs, in the relationship between mindfulness and happiness. Mindful Attention ...Awareness Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales short version-21 were administered to 523 undergraduate university students in India. Structural Equation Modeling with bootstrapping was applied to test the mediating effects of resilience and stress. Results showed that resilience and stress partially mediated the mindfulness-happiness relationship. In addition, resilience partially mediated the relationship of mindfulness to stress. Findings suggest that mindfulness may play an influential role in enhancing happiness through the mediating effects of resilience and stress.
Abstract
Scholarly interpretation of the encounter between the prophet Amos and Amaziah, the priest of Bethel (Amos 7:10-17), has thus far focused on the issue of prophetic authority and ...legitimization. This paper seeks to shed light on the issues at the heart of the dispute between Amaziah and Amos-issues of boundaries and identity, insiders and outsiders; belonging to and being banished from Israel, the land and the people. Amaziah insists that Amos is an outsider who may speak freely, but only "there", not "here". Amos counters by predicting the priest's own loss of social framework, in life and in death. The fact that, unlike many other reports of prophetic confrontations, this story does not indicate the consequences of the dispute-whether the expulsion of the prophet from the Northern Kingdom or the fulfillment of the curse of Amaziah-is another indication that the issue of prophetic authority is neither the only, nor the major concern of this showdown.
