Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy and Sharia Entrepreneurship Education on entrepreneurial intentions in Surabaya Islamic students. This study uses a quantitative method with an associative explanatory approach. The data analysis technique used is in the form of multiple linear analysis with hypothesis taking using path analysis. The results of this study are in the form of a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions with a significance value of 0.000. Furthermore, the results obtained are that Sharia Entrepreneurship Education significantly influences student entrepreneurial intentions with a significance of 0.000. That is, the higher the self-efficacy that is owned and accompanied by qualified knowledge about entrepreneurship, the more it increases the intention of Surabaya Islamic students in entrepreneurship. Then Sharia Entrepreneurship Education was significantly successful in mediating between self-efficacy and student entrepreneurial intentions with the results of the Sodel test with a tcount of 7.190 (t count > t table, namely 1.976). This means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted or it can be concluded that self-efficacy has a positive and significant influence on Entrepreneurial Intentions through Sharia Entrepreneurship Education.

Review

This study presents an interesting and timely investigation into the factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions among Islamic students, particularly focusing on the roles of self-efficacy and Sharia entrepreneurship. The research addresses a relevant gap by exploring these dynamics within a specific cultural and educational context in Surabaya. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear and path analysis, the study clearly articulates its objectives and provides direct answers to its research questions, aiming to understand how self-efficacy and Sharia Entrepreneurship Education contribute to the entrepreneurial aspirations of this unique demographic. The abstract effectively highlights the key findings, demonstrating significant positive relationships between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions, and between Sharia Entrepreneurship Education and entrepreneurial intentions. A particularly valuable contribution is the confirmation of Sharia Entrepreneurship Education's significant mediating role between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions, supported by a robust Sodel test result. This suggests that not only does personal belief in one's capabilities matter, but structured education grounded in Islamic principles further solidifies the path towards entrepreneurship for these students. The practical implication that enhanced self-efficacy combined with qualified Sharia entrepreneurship knowledge boosts entrepreneurial intention is clearly articulated. While the findings are compelling, a critical review of the full paper would benefit from several elaborations. Firstly, there is a minor but important inconsistency: the title specifies "Sharia Entrepreneurship Behavior" as the mediator, while the abstract consistently refers to "Sharia Entrepreneurship Education." This needs clarification to ensure alignment throughout the manuscript. Secondly, the abstract, by nature, lacks detail regarding methodological specifics such as sample size, sampling technique, instrument validation, and specific data collection procedures. These details are crucial for assessing the robustness and generalizability of the reported results. Finally, while the statistical significance is clearly presented, a deeper theoretical discussion in the full paper on *why* Sharia Entrepreneurship Education effectively mediates this relationship, linking it to established psychological or sociological theories of intention formation, would further enrich the study's academic contribution.
