<![CDATA[Research aim : This study aims to examine the effects of perceived higher education support and entrepreneurial mindset on the entrepreneurial intentions of vocational higher education students in Bali, both individually and simultaneously. Design/Methods/Approach : A quantitative research design was employed using multiple linear regression analysis on data collected from vocational higher education students. Research Finding : The results demonstrate that perceived higher education support and entrepreneurial mindset each have a significant and positive effect on students’ entrepreneurial intentions, and their combined influence is stronger when examined simultaneously. Theoretical contribution/Originality : This study extends Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) by empirically integrating higher education support as a contextual factor and individual cognitive orientation (entrepreneurial mindset) within the context of vocational higher education. Unlike previous studies that predominantly focus on either personal traits or general educational environments, this research highlights the interactive role of institutional support as a contextual enabler shaping entrepreneurial cognition and intention among vocational students in a developing tourism-based economy. Practitioner : The findings suggest that vocational higher education institutions should strengthen entrepreneurship education through structured higher education support mechanisms, including business incubators, structured mentoring programs, and strategic partnerships with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to foster students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Research limitation : This study is limited to vocational higher education students in Bali; therefore, the findings may not be generalizable to students from other regions, academic levels, or non-vocational educational settings.]]>
