This study examines how academic self-efficacy relates to entrepreneurial intention among students in sport sciences faculties, with the aim of identifying key influencing factors and their impacts. Data were collected from 372 students using the Entrepreneurial Scale for University Students and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Results show high entrepreneurial levels overall and higher entrepreneurial levels among male students. Age, work experience, and test performance (BPT), as well as CGPA, are linked positively with dimensions of entrepreneurship and academic self-efficacy, with findings indicating a statistically significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. The study recommends higher education institutions improve students’ academic performance and expand research samples.

In this study, the Entrepreneurial Scale for University Students and the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale were applied to 372 students studying at the [faculty of. sport](faculty of. sport) sciences. According to analysis results of the data obtained, it has been determined that the entrepreneurial levels of the students participating in the research are high. Entrepreneurial levels of male students are higher. than female students. Positive relationships were found with respect to the age variable in the dimensions of entrepreneurship and cognitive practices. BPT (Basic Proficiency Test) score has positive significant relations with entrepreneurship, cognitive practices and technical skills and CGPA has positive significant relations with academic self-efficacy scale sub-dimensions. As the work experience period of the students increased, the acquired level of entrepreneurship also increased. Moreover, as their academic self-efficacy increased, their entrepreneurial intentions also increased. The results obtained include empirical evidence that academic self-efficacy has a statistically significant. and positive impact on entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, higher education institutions should focus on improving the academic performance of students studying in undergraduate, associate and graduate education in order to increase their intention to create new job opportunities. Since this study only includes the opinions of the students of the faculty of sport sciences, it is recommended to expand the sample group and investigate the effect of different variables on entrepreneurial intention.
