    Introduction

    Entrepreneurship refers to the intention or desire of an individual to start a new business or engage in entrepreneurial activities. It is considered a crucial factor in predicting actual entrepreneurial behaviour, as it represents the first step towards becoming an entrepreneur (Mair & Marti, 2006). Entrepreneurial intention is influenced by a variety of factors, including personal attitudes and values, social norms, education and training, perceived opportunities, and environmental factors. Understanding the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention is essential for policymakers, educators, and entrepreneurs themselves, as it can help to develop effective strategies and programs to promote entrepreneurship and support aspiring entrepreneurs (Balan & Metcalfe, 2012). Moreover, studying entrepreneurial intention in different fields and contexts can provide valuable insights into the specific factors that influence entrepreneurship and can contribute to the overall understanding of entrepreneurial behaviour (Loughran, 2013).

    Expectations of success and self-efficacy are two important psychological factors that play a significant role in shaping an individual's entrepreneurial intention and behaviour (Seikkula-Leino, 2008). These factors are essential for understanding how and why individuals become entrepreneurs and what factors contribute to their success. In this article, we will explore the concepts of expectations of success and self-efficacy and their role in promoting entrepreneurship (Hannon, 2006). Expectations of success refer to an individual's belief that they are capable of achieving their goals and succeeding in their entrepreneurial endeavours (Seikkula-Leino, Ruskovaara, Ikavalko, Mattila, & Rytkola, 2010). These expectations are influenced by a range of internal and external factors, such as personal experiences, social support, education and training, and environmental factors. Positive expectations of success are essential for entrepreneurs, as they provide the motivation and confidence needed to take risks, overcome obstacles, and persist in the face of adversity.

    Research has shown that expectations of success are a key determinant of entrepreneurial intention and behaviour (Sarasvathy & Dew, 2005). For instance, studies have found that individuals who have higher expectations of success are more likely to have a greater intention to start a business and more likely to pursue entrepreneurial activities (Krueger et al., 2000; Liñán & Chen, 2009). Moreover, high expectations of success have been found to be positively associated with entrepreneurial performance, such as business growth and profitability (Liñán & Santos, 2007). One of the main ways in which expectations of success can be fostered is through education and training programs. These programs can provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in their ventures. For instance, entrepreneurship education can help to develop individuals' entrepreneurial mindset, increase their knowledge of business management, and expose them to real-world entrepreneurial experiences (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000). Moreover, mentoring and coaching can provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the social support and guidance needed to navigate the challenges and uncertainties of entrepreneurship (Baron & Shane, 2008).

    Bell, Bryman, and Harley (2018) were of the view that self-efficacy is another critical psychological factor that plays a significant role in shaping an individual's entrepreneurial intention and behaviour. The term "self-efficacy" describes a person's confidence in their capacity to carry out a particular action or accomplish a specific goal. It is an essential part of Bandura's social cognitive theory, which contends that people's beliefs about their capacity to accomplish their objectives and succeed in their endeavours play a crucial role in influencing their behaviour (Bandura, 1977). According to research, self-efficacy is a crucial predictor of entrepreneurial intention and behaviour. For instance, research has shown that people with higher levels of self-efficacy are more likely to undertake entrepreneurial activities and have more excellent intentions to start a firm (Krueger et al., 2000; Lián & Chen, 2009). Self-efficacy has also been linked favourably to entrepreneurial performance, including company expansion and profitability (Liñán & Santos, 2007). There are several ways in which self-efficacy can be fostered. One of the most effective ways is through mastery experiences, which involve engaging in activities that enable individuals to develop and demonstrate their skills and abilities (Bandura, 1977). For instance, aspiring entrepreneurs can develop their self-efficacy by participating in entrepreneurship competitions, starting small businesses, or completing training programs that enable them to practice their skills and receive feedback on their performance. Additionally, social modelling, social persuasion, and physiological and affective states can also play a role in shaping individuals' self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977). 

    Expectations of success and self-efficacy are two critical psychological factors that play a significant role in shaping individuals' entrepreneurial intentions and behaviour. Positive expectations of success provide entrepreneurs with the motivation and confidence needed to take risks. The study of entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success, and self-efficacy among students of physical education and sports sciences in Pakistan are important for several reasons (Davidsson & Honig, 2003). First, entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly important source of economic growth and job creation in Pakistan, and understanding the factors that contribute to entrepreneurial intention and behaviour is crucial for policymakers, educators, and entrepreneurs themselves. Second, physical education and sports sciences students represent a unique group of individuals who are likely to have a strong interest in entrepreneurship, given their background in sports and fitness(Karlan & Valdivia, 2011). However, there is a lack of research on entrepreneurial intention and behaviour among this group, particularly in the context of Pakistan. Understanding the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention and behaviour among physical education and sports sciences students can provide valuable insights into the specific challenges and opportunities that this group faces and can contribute to the overall understanding of entrepreneurial behaviour in Pakistan (Kuratko, 2016). Third, the study of expectations of success and self-efficacy is important because these factors have been found to be key determinants of entrepreneurial intention and behaviour (Solomon, 2007). By exploring these factors among physical education and sports sciences students, we can identify the specific factors that contribute to their expectations of success and self-efficacy and develop effective strategies and programs to promote entrepreneurship among this group. Further, this study of entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success, and self-efficacy among physical education and sports sciences students in Pakistan are important for understanding the factors that influence entrepreneurial behaviour in Pakistan and developing effective strategies and programs to promote entrepreneurship and support aspiring entrepreneurs in this field(Abbasi, Malik, Chaudhry, & Imdadullah, 2011).

    Self-efficacy plays an important role in life, including education, sports, and physical activities. Self-efficacy can profoundly impact students' engagement, motivation, and performance. Self-efficacy beliefs influence students' motivation to participate in physical education and their level of engagement in physical activities. Students who have higher self-efficacy in physical education are more likely to approach challenges enthusiastically and persistently. They believe their efforts will lead to successful outcomes, increasing their motivation to participate actively and try new activities. Self-efficacy beliefs influence the goals students set for themselves in physical education. Students with high levels of self-efficacy are more likely to set challenges but attainable goals. They believe they have the skills and capabilities to meet those goals through effort and practice. As a result, they invest more effort in physical education activities and are willing to push themselves to improve their performance. Self-efficacy beliefs also affect students' ability to persevere and bounce back from setbacks or failures in physical education. When faced with difficulties or obstacles, Students with high self-efficacy are more likely to view them as challenges to overcome rather than insurmountable barriers. They have greater confidence in their problem-solving abilities and are more resilient in the face of setbacks. This resilience helps them persist and maintain effort even when facing temporary setbacks. Self-efficacy beliefs influence the acquisition and development of physical skills. Students who believe in their abilities to learn and improve are more likely to engage in deliberate practice and seek opportunities for skill development. They are more willing to take risks and try new activities, which leads to more excellent skill acquisition and better overall performance in physical education. Self-efficacy beliefs in physical education influence students' self-perception and self-worth. Positive self-efficacy beliefs enhance students' confidence in their physical abilities, leading to a more positive self-image. This, in turn, can contribute to improved self-esteem and overall well-being.

    Educators can foster self-efficacy in physical education through various strategies, such as providing constructive feedback, offering opportunities for success, setting realistic goals, and creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment. By nurturing students' self-efficacy beliefs, physical education programs can enhance motivation, engagement, skill development, and overall performance, leading to a more positive and rewarding experience for students. To justify the study exploring entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success, and self-efficacy among Pakistan's Physical Education and Sports Sciences students. The significance of entrepreneurship in the sports industry:

    1. Highlight the growing importance of entrepreneurship in the sports industry worldwide and its potential for economic growth, innovation, and job creation.

    2. Discuss how entrepreneurship can contribute to developing the sports industry in Pakistan.

    3. Emphasize the specific context of Pakistan and its cultural, social, and economic factors that may influence entrepreneurial intentions and self-efficacy among students in Physical Education and Sports Sciences.

    4. Explain how studying entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success, and self-efficacy can provide insights into students' career aspirations and goals in Physical Education and Sports Sciences.

    5. Discuss the potential impact of entrepreneurship on their professional development and the sports industry in Pakistan.

    6. Identify the need for more research on entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success, and self-efficacy among students in Physical Education and Sports Sciences in Pakistan.

    7. Highlight the need for empirical studies to fill this knowledge gap and provide a foundation for developing effective interventions and policies.

    Statement of the Problems

    Despite the increasing interest in entrepreneurship in Pakistan, there is a lack of research on the entrepreneurial mindset among students in this field. Furthermore, physical education and sports sciences students have unique characteristics that differentiate them from other fields. For instance, they are often associated with physical activity and health, and may not have the same level of exposure to entrepreneurship as students in business or engineering fields. It is crucial to comprehend the entrepreneurial intent, success expectations, and self-efficacy of Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences. This study will add to the body of knowledge by revealing information about this population's entrepreneurial mindset. The findings of this study can inform policy and education practices, and help to develop a more comprehensive approach to entrepreneurship education in Pakistan.


    Objectives of the Study

    The current study is aimed to explore the entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success and self-efficacy among the students of physical education and sports sciences in Pakistan. The 2030 agenda to achieve Sustainable Development Goals were introduced by United Nation in 2015, providing to promote peace and prosperity for the people and planet. Pakistan is a country that is striving to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following were the objectives of the study: (a) to assess the level of entrepreneurial intention among students (b) to explore the expectations of success among students of sports sciences (c) to evaluate the level of self-efficacy among students (d) to identify the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention, expectations of success, and self-efficacy among students (e) to provide recommendations for policy and practice to enhance entrepreneurship education among students.

    Research Methodology

    The study was descriptive in nature while the survey method was used to gather information from the students of sports sciences of different colleges of Bahawalpur. The study was conducted using a quantitative method. The survey questionnaire used closed-ended questions to measure the variables of interest.

     The perception of students towards entrepreneurship education is shown in Table 1. Since students were asked about their "Choice of a profession" in Factor-1, in contrast, there is no significant difference among both genders’ perceptions of social values. Professional appeal, the third factor, also revealed no appreciable distinction in judgments between male and female students when considering the fourth factor, which shows no discernible difference between the entrepreneurial propensity of male and female students. But Factor-5 which was about self-efficacy not showed a significant difference between both genders. As discussed, Factor-6 which was about the "Interest in Entrepreneurship" of university students, also not shown a significant difference between male and female student's perceptions. Factor-7 and Factor-8 were also showing no significant differences as they showed entrepreneurial intention and locus of control of university students. Last and Factor-9 which was about "Self-Reliance" do not show a significant difference among both genders.

    Discussion

    The study aimed to investigate the entrepreneurial ambition, success expectations, and self-efficacy of Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences. This study's results align with earlier studies (Chen et al., 1998; Lián & Chen, 2009), which indicated a substantial correlation between entrepreneurial purpose and expectations of success. The findings imply that more successful pupils are more likely to have stronger entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, the study discovered a significant link between entrepreneurial purpose and self-efficacy, which aligns with Bandura's social cognitive theory from 1986. According to this idea, people with high levels of self-efficacy are more inclined to think they can succeed in their chosen endeavour, boosting their intention to start their own business (Abbasi et al., 2011; Karlan & Valdivia, 2011). These results have significant ramifications for entrepreneurship education in Pakistan, where educators should work to raise students' self-efficacy and success expectations in order to encourage entrepreneurial intention. The survey also discovered that Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences had a modest entrepreneurial inclination (Lián & Chen, 2006).

    This result is consistent with earlier research that found university students in poor nations show moderate entrepreneurial intention (Ahmed et al., 2018; Islam et al., 2017). This conclusion, however, also implies an opportunity for advancement in Pakistani physical education and sports sciences students' entrepreneurial education. The study results significantly impact the direction of policy and practice in Pakistan's sports sector. Students that receive entrepreneurial education may acquire the abilities, information, and mindset required to seek business opportunities in the sports sector. As a result, Pakistan's sports business may expand and flourish, bringing about positive economic and social effects for the nation. According to Abbasi et al. (2011), this study adds to the body of knowledge on entrepreneurship and sports sciences education by revealing essential details about the entrepreneurial attitude of Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences. The research shows that Pakistani physical education and sports sciences programs need to include entrepreneurship education in their curricula. Education professionals may encourage entrepreneurial purpose among students by raising their self-efficacy and expectations of success, which will help the Pakistani sports sector, expand and flourish.

    Conclusion

    The study examined Pakistani students majoring in physical education and sports sciences' entrepreneurial aim, success expectations, and sense of self-efficacy. According to the results, a substantial correlation exists between entrepreneurial intention and success expectations among Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences. The study also discovered a strong correlation between students' self-efficacy and intention to start a business. The study's findings demonstrate the necessity of providing Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences with entrepreneurship education and training. The information, abilities, and mindset required to explore entrepreneurial prospects in the sports business can be developed with the use of this education. Policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders can learn from the study's conclusions how crucial it is to include entrepreneurial education within physical education and sports sciences curricula. The use of self-reported metrics and the possibility of response bias are two of the study's drawbacks. To better understand the association between entrepreneurial ambition, success expectations, and self-efficacy among Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences, future research should employ a longitudinal approach with larger sample size.

    This research further gives detailed insights into students' perceptions and experiences with entrepreneurship in the sports business. As a result, the study adds to the body of knowledge on entrepreneurship and sports sciences education by offering insightful information about Pakistani students studying physical education and sports sciences who have an entrepreneurial attitude. The findings of this study can inform the development of policies and practices to enhance entrepreneurship education in Pakistan, ultimately leading to the growth and development of the sports industry in the country. Results of the study showed that the majority of the respondents were interested in the teaching profession but also a huge amount of respondents were also interested in being entrepreneurial. Respondents showed interest in starting a business on the availability of capital and want to run it after proper guidance. A huge number of respondents preferred to start a business as the availability of capital and opportunities was sure. As shown in the results most of the students answered that they do not know enough for starting a business which indicated that they want to learn about entrepreneurship to learn skills and get experience for being adorable entrepreneurs.
