Creativity disposition on entrepreneurial attitude and intentions: A comparison between regular and distance (blended) learning university students

This study examined the entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) of conventional and blended learning students at a technical university in Ghana, using the theory of planned behaviour as a framework. Hypotheses were formulated to examine the moderating role of university support systems on the relationship between creativity disposition and entrepreneurial intentions. Data from 372 students were gathered through an online survey and analyzed using Smart-PLS software. Results indicated that creativity and attitudes toward entrepreneurship positively influenced entrepreneurial intent in both student groups, with attitude partially mediating the creativity-intent link. However, university support negatively moderated this relationship. A multi-group analysis showed no significant difference in EIs between the two student cohorts. Recommendations were made for the adoption of hybrid learning and policy considerations for universities.
