Abstract

This study examines 422 vocational school students´ entrepreneurial self-efficacy and its influencing factors to serve as a school reference for the development of entrepreneurship education measures. The results show that students´ `computer self-efficacy (CSE)´ has a significant direct effect on `entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE)´, and `information search behavior (ISB)´ has a significant effect on `entrepreneurial self-efficacy´ through `computer self-efficacy.´ The influence pattern and empirical data of `information search behavior´ and `computer self-efficacy´ on `entrepreneurial self-efficacy´ has a good fit.
