| Abstract | Universities have evolved to meet the robust demand of the knowledge-based society, thereby paving the emergence of the university's third mission, particularly academic entrepreneurship. In the Philippines, studies in this research field have been very limited. Following the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), personal and contextual antecedents were identified together with TPB's main determinants of subjective norms (SN), entrepreneurial attitude (EA), and perceived control (PC) to measure the level of entrepreneurial intention (EI) among faculty and staff of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT). Using a descriptive and quantitative approach, particularly a GLM-mediated regression analysis, a survey was conducted among 276 respondents of MSU-IIT. Results showed that entrepreneurial attitude and perceived control in this manner were the main determinants of entrepreneurial intention, while subjective norms failed to predict EI. Entrepreneurial attitude fully mediates the relationship between personal antecedents and EI. Similarly, the entrepreneurial environment fully mediates the relationship between contextual antecedents and EI, while entrepreneurial training predicted EI alone and not as an antecedent of PC; meanwhile, the prior business experience did not elicit a significant relationship with EI even when mediated by perceived control. Moreover, ethnicity moderates the effect of personal antecedents towards entrepreneurial intention, thereby opening future research regarding the effects of ethnicity and other Filipino entrepreneurial attitudes to localize the understanding of entrepreneurial intention in the Philippine academic setting. |
