However, among the antecedents, subjective norms? relationship with entrepreneurial intentions is unclear. Taking this perspective, this study using the data of global university entrepreneurial student spirit survey, Pakistan, analyze the moderating impact of entrepreneurial learning on relationship between subjective norms on attitude and PBC.
