Abstract: Currently, irrespective of developed or developing context, economies throughout the world are facing challenges, such as economic downturn, decrease in demand, globalisation, increasing poverty, unemployment, and corruption. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of entrepreneurial even model (EEM) factors on student's intentions and entrepreneurial behaviour. This study used a convenience random sampling approach to select students. In addition, a closed-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from students of public and private universities. In total 737 valid responses were processed using partial least square structural equation modelling techniques through SmartPLS 3.0. The findings of the study show a positive effect of EEM factors (i.e., desirability, feasibility, and propensity to act) on students' intentions. In addition, the present study also evidenced a significant effect of entrepreneurial intention and motivation on entrepreneurial behaviour. Furthermore, this research also evidenced the significant moderating role of entrepreneurial motivation.
