Supportive Social Norms as Determinant of Entrepreneurial Intention in Relation to Students: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The primary objective of this systematic review is to examine the significant impact that supportive social norms have on students' entrepreneurial intention. As a crucial precursor to tangible entrepreneurial conduct, entrepreneurial intention is influenced by an extensive array of personal, environmental, and socio-cultural factors, Bandura, A. (2007). With an emphasis on students, a crucial demographic in the realm of entrepreneurial development, the purpose of this comprehensive analysis is to consolidate the findings and development between 1954 to 2022 concerning the entrepreneurial intention and supportive social norms, step by step. A thorough exploration and evaluation of peer-reviewed literature is conducted in order to identify and scrutinise significant themes, trends, and methodological approaches. This systematic review offers valuable insights into the mechanisms that govern the impact of supportive social norms on entrepreneurial intention among students. By synthesising and assessing prior research, it contributes to the body of knowledge regarding social norms with supportive nature and ecosystem development, as well as guides future research endeavours and policy initiatives in this domain.
