 Abstract:

This study clarifies the student’s perspective in the disputed territory, to inculcate the influence of personality traits, moral obligation, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial intentions, and these relationships mediated by perceived advantage. A framework for the judgment of entrepreneurial mindset in the context of disputed territory and special administrative zones is presented. The data was collected from Eastern students at four universities. The current survey was conducted using purposive sampling, and the sample size was 344 students from four different universities. The study used CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) for data analysis by using Smart PLS 3.2.9 and SPSS 26. The findings revealed the direct and indirect influence of personality traits entrepreneurial education and moral obligation on the intentions mediated by perceived advantage. Diversely, moral obligations do affect entrepreneurial intention in the presence of perceived advantage. The counterintuitive situation arises in the case of and helpful situation, where moral obligations are not playing role in the case of the disputed territory. The study contributes to enhancing the understanding of the entrepreneurial intention of university students in disputed territories. It brings into light the research agenda of entrepreneurship in disputed territories and special administrative areas. Specifically, the perceived advantage proved unique and verifiable intervening in the role between entrepreneurial education, personality traits, and the moral obligation with entrepreneurial intentions. This research supplies the basis for compatible academic and economic policy formulation. This study supplies a knowledge base for startups in special and disputed territories. It enhances innovation by making students fit their needs.
