Abstract
The study examined the effect of innovation education on entrepre neurial intentions among postgraduate students and the role of innovation com petence and gender. The study was a survey, with data collected using a structured
questionnaire. The study used Master’s students of Akenten-Appiah Menka
University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), Ghana.
The sample includes 370 Master’s students from 10 faculties of the university. Data
were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The study found that
innovation education has significant positive influence on entrepreneurial intention.
Innovation competence was found to mediate the relationship between innovation
education and entrepreneurial intention. Finally, gender moderated the relationship
between innovation education and innovation competence and also moderated the
relationship between innovation competence and entrepreneurial intention.
Assessing the moderating role of gender between innovation education and inno vation competence, as well as, innovation competence and entrepreneurial inten tion, represents novel contributions of this study
