Objective: This study aims to analyze the role of the family environment in strengthening the influence of entrepreneurship education and motivation on students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Method: A quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was employed to analyze data from 281 respondents out of a total population of 1,044. Results: The results indicate that entrepreneurship education (β = 0,278, p < 0,001), entrepreneurial motivation (β = 0,272, p < 0,001), and self-efficacy significantly (β = 0,202, p < 0,001), and the family environment (β = 0.211, p < 0.001) have significant positive effects on entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the family environment significantly mediates the relationships between entrepreneurship education (β = 0.047, p = 0.008), entrepreneurial motivation (β = 0.089, p < 0.001), and self-efficacy (β = 0.043, p = 0.005) with entrepreneurial intention through complementary partial mediation. The structural model demonstrates moderate explanatory power, explaining 56.2% of the variance in the family environment (R² = 0.562) and 65.1% of the variance in entrepreneurial intention (R² = 0.651). Novelty: The novelty of this research emphasizes more on reconceptualizing the family environment as a strategic mediating mechanism that strengthens the process of transforming entrepreneurial knowledge and psychological resources into entrepreneurial intentions.
