Building students' entrepreneurial orientation through entrepreneurial intention and workplace spirituality.

This article aims to determine the effects of entrepreneurial intention on students' entrepreneurial orientation and examine the moderation of workplace spirituality. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to the five largest state universities in Eastern Indonesia, involving 397 students in entrepreneurship programs. The study results reveal that a spiritual workplace can counterproductively moderate the intention to build students' entrepreneurial orientation. In the context of Indonesian students, it seems that subjective norms have the most decisive influence on intentions. Several suggestions were offered regarding the meaning of the university environment as students' habitat for learning and the importance of integrating spirituality in the context of academic work to become a true entrepreneur. This study highlights that entrepreneurial orientation can be built with strong intentions even though workplace spirituality does not fully support work-based entrepreneurial learning.
