The importance of entrepreneurial role in supporting the country's economic growth has been
recognized by experts in the field of entrepreneurship. Today the importance of entrepreneurship has
become increasingly important where it has turned into a priority for developing countries including
Malaysia. Now, there are many higher educational institutions that are aware of the importance of applying
entrepreneurial skills in higher education. Therefore, public universities have to implement
entrepreneurship education to encourage students to venture into entrepreneurship. This study examined
the effects of entrepreneurship education in influencing business performance among ITM/UiTM
graduates. A total of 250 graduates from various businesses in Malaysia participated voluntarily in this
study by completing survey questionnaires. A series of statistical analysis were applied including
descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regressions analysis using the
SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that university curriculum, relational factor, society factor,
and entrepreneurship values were found to have significant influences on business performance. However,
the results revealed that the university role has no significant influence on business performance. The
findings of this study contribute to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship literature by adding
new empirical evidence on the relationship between university curriculum, relational factors, society factor,
and entrepreneurship values on business performance. In terms of managerial implications, the findings
help HEI’s in organizing entrepreneurship education dimensions, particularly in strategizing, marketing,
decision making, and positioning themselves in the business industry.
