These days, entrepreneurship is viewed as the fundamental hotspot for economic development and by one way or another education is an indispensable part in the advancement of entrepreneurial intention. Therefore, it is normal to think about students as an essential asset of future entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is a generally talked about subject worldwide and the job of entrepreneurs and personal business divisions has been progressively advanced by the government of various countries in their own specific way. Business start-up programs are not exclusively to move the youngsters' entrepreneurial intention, yet more critically a general business start-up help program would be assembled, including numerous imaginative and compelling exercises. 

The extraordinary effort has been applied by the different governmental organizations and the Supreme Council for Women, led by HRH Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, to empower women by giving all means of support for help to make progress in Businesses and make huge commitments to the Bahraini economy. For establishing self-esteem and recognition in society, women are attracted towards entrepreneurship. To sustain in the competitive market, businesses carried out by women are mainly dependent on internal resources and their capabilities based on which they try to compete with the external environment. 

Entrepreneurship assumes a vital part in any economy, entrepreneurs utilize the abilities and activity that is important to expect needs and offering good new ideas to the market. Entrepreneurship that ends up being effective in facing the challenges of making a start-up is remunerated with benefits, fame, and proceeded with growth in the economy and opportunities. Entrepreneurship that fails results in losses and less prevalence in the markets for those involved [1]. Entrepreneurial intentions can for the most part be characterized as a cognizant mindfulness and conviction by a person that set up another business adventure and plans to do as such later on. While, Choo and Wong characterize entrepreneurial intention as the goal for data that can be utilized to help satisfy the objective of adventure creation. The entrepreneurship improvement has been developing consistently in Bahrain. Because of the offered significance to the entrepreneurial segments in numerous universities, as it has additionally gotten one of the national plans in numerous countries. The ebb and flow research is to recognize the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students and giving an examination about it. 

Numerous examinations have researched on several factors, for example, intentions, motivations, education, attitudes, personality and social settings that may impact innovative activities. The consequences of these investigations seem blended in light of the fact that some of them contend that youngsters don't have adequate business knowledge or the capacity to support enterprising choices, which influences their pioneering intention. Different studies guarantee that university student’s business visionaries have more advancement and innovation ability just as flexibility, which definitely influences their behaviour and, thus, their new inventions.

The entrepreneurship improvement has been developing consistently in Bahrain. Because of the offered significance to the entrepreneurial segments in numerous universities, as it has additionally gotten one of the national plans in numerous countries. The government of Bahrain emphasizes entrepreneurship with one of the biggest public authority organizations called Tamkeen. Tamkeen was established in August 2006, tasked with supporting Bahrain’s private sector and positioning it as the key driver of economic growth and development. One of its main focuses is diversifying offerings, Accelerate delivery and Sustaining Impact. Also, recently Tamkeen launched a program called Riyadat Financing with a purpose to support women-owned start-ups to help them grow and develop. In this research I will investigated the relationship between various factors or variables that can impact the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students.   

Statement of the Problem

The government of Bahrain is engaged in developing its economy through urging individuals to start up their own businesses. During the most recent couple of years, unemployment of youngsters in Bahrain has stayed one of the higher in comparison with other weaker sections of the work market, mostly the unemployment rate in the age from 15 to 30. Both researchers and the government consider entrepreneurship practice as one of the potential answers for this issue. Female entrepreneurs ought to be urged to join civil society associations worried about female's issues. This must be accomplished when they feel sure that their participation will assist them with accomplishing their targets and secure the help they need to manage difficulties. The activity of HRH Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa to distribute an arrangement of 2,000,000 dinars to help women financially in business exercises, including women entrepreneurs, has added to resolve quite possibly the main issues confronting women wishing to set up their business activities . 

In light of its firm belief in the significance of women as an active and vital participant in shaping Bahrain's economic future, Tamkeen dispatched a progression of activities in participation with the Supreme Council for Women to help women in the business world. These activities urged women not only to become entrepreneurs and start their own businesses but in addition empowered them to progress in their careers, in this way upgrading Bahraini women's chances of achievement and their commitment to their country's economic growth.

Encouraging entrepreneurship should focus on both the current situation and future chance of entrepreneurship. Analysts give their consideration to first point of convergence of issue, it is comparatively fundamental to layout the future setting of entrepreneurship as well. It will help the researchers to remove this gap by knowing certain factors which has an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students. Female entrepreneurship has a significant role in the financial development for nations and its improvement improves beneficial work, accomplishes gender equality and decreases poverty. The investigation of enterprising intention can be valuable for creating fruitful entrepreneurship-related approaches and for understanding a nation's intensity and development potential. 

According to the Supreme Council for Women in Bahrain, the percentage of women as entrepreneurs was 29.8% in 2019 and women entrepreneurs have become more prominent. This is why the topic is important because, as time changes, women are seen as more powerful individuals that are able to run successful businesses and challenge the odds stacked against them. And my purpose is to know what factors boost their intention towards entrepreneurship [2].

Research Questions

This research purposes were to examine different factors that has an impact on entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students through answering the following questions: 

• Does Attitude has an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• Does Educational support has an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• Does Relational support has an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• .Does Self-confidence has an impact on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

Significance of the Study 

The educational, social, scientific value of this study is that it will add a great value to both policy makers and scholars to focus on the question of why some female undergraduate students go for an entrepreneurial career and why others do not. It will also help in boosting the economy of the country, as the policy makers and scholars will have more knowledge about what encourages female undergraduate students in choosing entrepreneurial as their career. So, they will start focusing on those factors and new entrepreneurs will enter in market with new ideas and creativity. 

The purpose of this study is to comprehend what factors can affect entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students. This study also focuses to investigate what encourages or motivates female undergraduate students to choose their career as an entrepreneur. Examining the factor’s processes that drive female undergraduate students for entrepreneurial intention is exceptionally critical because it gives the significance of entrepreneurship for work creation and economic development in the country.

Theoretical Framework

Researchers characterize entrepreneurial intention as a perspective that individuals wish to make another firm or another worth driver inside existing associations. Entrepreneurship instruction is the structure of information and aptitudes about the business by and large, as a component of training programs at instructive foundations. In one research, attitudes, social norm, and controlled conduct were viewed as the three essential determinants clarifying any arranged conduct. Observationally, they got underpins for the case from the field of a business venture. As they showed before, attitude concerns the assessment of behaviour. The assessment educates people that it is so attractive to embrace the behaviour in concern. At the point when they investigate entrepreneurial intention among university students, they accept the overall forecast of arranged conduct held for their examination. 

That is, attitude, social norm, and controlled behaviour are decidedly related with the intention of establishing a business. In any case, they the significance of the way to deal with the estimation of attitude. In their examination, the entrepreneurial attitude is beyond an overall appraisal of the appeal of launching a business. The evaluation of attitude is identified with the normal benefit of beginning a business, which is a weighted influence among a set of qualities. Thus, people with a high expected value indicated a solid propensity to begin a business. It was hypothesized that the normal value of beginning a business is positively related with entrepreneurial intention. 

Social norm catches the social impact to perform or not to play out the entrepreneurial activity. This is a basic determinant for people without entrepreneurial experience. University students are easy to be impacted by their social climate when they have minimal entrepreneurial experience. Views from loved ones are probably going to support or dishearten possible entrepreneurial conduct. It was hypothesized that, strong view on beginning a business from the social climate is positively connected with entrepreneurial intention. 

The controlled behaviour reflects assets and openings people accept they can gain or create so as to begin a business. There are two kinds of assets; one is unmistakable and the other immaterial. University students usually lack to start a business because of fewer resources or capitals. Yet, they may not need theoretical assets, for example, abilities of systems administration, the capacity to see an expected change, and the ability to market an item. Therefore, university students who accept they have obtained the expertise and ability to begin a business are probably going to turn into a business visionary. So, another hypothesis was made that apparent talent as well as skills are needed to begin a business are positively connected with entrepreneurial intention [3].

In another study which was conducted in Italy by Ferri, Ginesti, Spanò and Zampella [4], the researchers found out that three factors that are positively related to the entrepreneurial intention of female students. They explored the elements that influence Italian female college students in locks in a likely pioneering action. It is realized that a huge portion of the writing says that female experience deterrents related with their gender to pick up the validity and assets in the business world, not for an absence of capacities of ladies but rather for more mind-boggling reasons. These reasons are legitimately associated with their own and expert life. To be sure, the life of ladies will in general be described by a delay period pretty much long for birth and care, which bargain professional success. 

Hence, women can barely arrive at top administration positions and create satisfactory reserve funds of assets to put resources into their undertakings. In this sense, it has been contended that women business visionaries have less capital than men proprietors. Undoubtedly, men go through multiple times more beginning capital than ladies that are emphatically and fundamentally to the current estimation of capital resources, deals turnover and complete various workers. Because of absence of assets, female business people go to the financial framework to have the vital assets to maintain their business. For this situation, a significant stream of the writing contends that women business people meet a few more monetary obstructions than men do when looking for a bank account. Subsequently, female-oversaw firms are more opposed to acquiring a bank loan and, yet, when they prevail with regards to obtaining, they are charged higher interest. According to the literature they absorb the following factors which has positive effect on the entrepreneurial intention of Italian female students [4]. They hypnotized that Attitude, subjective norm and control behavior towards business positively affects the entrepreneurial intention of Italian female students.

Furthermore, another study related to entrepreneurial intention was conducted in Malaysia by Anjum, Sharifi, Nazar, and Farrukh. Their research was focused on Pakistani students in different universities of Malaysia. From past observations, they proposed a model to examine the entrepreneurial intention of university students. They saw that the Theory of Planned Behaviour gives an overall structure to examine the entrepreneurial intention of an individual, intentionality can be characterized as a perspective coordinating an individual's consideration, experience and activity towards a particular objective or a way to accomplish something.

As indicated by them, Entrepreneurship can assume a viable part in creating businesses opening in the country which thusly help in lessening the joblessness rate, easing neediness and improving occupation. In this way, it has become a coloured region for the scientist to investigate antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions. Thusly, the motivation behind their examination was to research the antecedents of entrepreneurial goal from the point of view of the hypothesis of arranged conduct.

Pakistan is the tenth biggest country on the planet as for the size of its labour force. As per the current insights 3.62 million individuals are jobless (Pakistan Economic Survey, 2015). Perhaps the most disturbing issues being looked at by the underdeveloped nations for example Pakistan is the manner by which to set out work open doors for youngsters. In Pakistan, countless young people are moving on from universities every year, with few comparing jobs openings which are causing social bad habit in the type of violence and crime. To restrict the issues happening in the society which brings agitation and pain for individuals, the Government of Pakistan has been giving close consideration to focus towards work creation and side by side incorporate training for start-ups of individuals.

They are additionally pursuing auditing the educational plan of the universities so that the future entrepreneurs who are youngsters can learn and cling to independent work abilities. Entrepreneurship can assume a compelling part in creating job openings in the country which thusly help in decreasing the joblessness rate, mitigating destitution also, improving livelihood. Regardless of the preparation being given or on the other hand, the accommodation of entrepreneurship given by the higher establishments of learning in Pakistan, an enormous number of graduating understudies are skirting the real issue in work looking being reluctant to take upon entrepreneurial action. The present circumstance is a stunner for us that it isn't tied in with teaching individuals on entrepreneurship however, in addition, it is about their ability towards being a business person. By judging intention we can predict that the individual behaviour and action is the outcome behaviour [5].

Ajzen[6] states that; the overall significance of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control (PBC) in the forecast of intention is relied upon to change across behaviours and situations. Indeed, even a large portion of the current examinations showed blended outcomes. For example, one of only a handful few investigations led in Pakistan i.e., Shah and Soomro [7] show that attitude towards entrepreneurship and subjective norms significantly influence Entrepreneurial Intention while the impact of PBC on Entrepreneurial Intention was insignificant. Second, contemplates dependent on this model clarify just a little extent of the change in the entrepreneurial intentions (EI). The examinations [8] have shown that these three indicators disclose around 30 to 45% of the variety in the Entrepreneurial Intention. Henceforth, there is space for the consideration of more indicators to build the extent of the difference. Henceforth, there is a need to go past the domain of Theory of Planned Behaviour to discover the antecedents of entrepreneurship intention [9].

One extra indicator of Entrepreneurial Intention could self-efficacy, as entrepreneurial abilities emphatically influence entrepreneurial intentions [10]. Moreover, there has been debate in the studies whether self-efficacy is captured by perceived behavioural controls (PBC) or not. Additionally, empirical evidence by Isiwu [11] likewise shows that they are two unique developments. Self-efficacy alludes to the condition of self-adequacy in specific abilities. Then again, Perceived Behaviour Control is identified with perceived obstructions and limitations while in transit to accomplishing the objective behaviour [12]. Perceived risk (PR) is another factor that is probably going to impact Entrepreneurial Intention [13]. Higher perceived risks are probably going to contrarily influence the intentions of people to favour business over the work. Subsequently, the consideration of self-efficacy and perceived risks in the Theory of Planned Behaviour is required. Notwithstanding, there is a requirement for exact testing to see if their incorporation in the Theory of Planned Behaviour improves the difference in Entrepreneurial Intention or not. Their examination was planned to investigate to respond to these inquiries. In their proposed theoretical framework, they discussed how different independent variables has significantly positive impact on entrepreneurial intention and others do not. 

The first determinant of Entrepreneurial Intention is Attitude. The Effect of Attitude on Entrepreneurial Intention has been accounted for to be positive and significant by studies like Shah and Soomro [7] and Tiwari, Bhat, and Tikoria [14]. The second determinant of Entrepreneurial Intention is Perceived Behaviour Control. The causal connection between Perceived Behaviour Control and Entrepreneurial Intention has likewise been discovered significant by past investigations like Tiwari, Bhat, and Tikoria [14]. Nonetheless, a few examinations like Shah and Soomro [7] announced this suggestion (effect of Perceived Behaviour Control on Entrepreneurial Intention) as genuinely non-significant. These clashing outcomes feature the requirement for testing these suggestions in various geological settings. The third determinant of Entrepreneurial Intention is subjective norms. Literature [7,14] offers significant help for the causal effect of subjective norms on Entrepreneurial Intention. In any case, contradicting results have likewise been accounted for by studies like Passaro, Quinto and Thomas. Lately, numerous analysts have endeavoured to broaden the model in a bid to improve our understanding of the antecedents of Entrepreneurial Intention. Self-efficacy is required to positively affect Attitude and Entrepreneurial Intention. The support is accessible from the literature for these suggestions. Isiwu and Onwuka [11] researched that self-efficacy is a positive and significant predictor of Attitude and Entrepreneurial Intention. The effect of SI on Entrepreneurial Intention was likewise answered to be genuinely significant by Ibrahima and Mas'udb [10] Farrukh, et al. and Tiwari, Bhat, and Tikoria [14]. Tiwari, Bhat, and Tikoria [14] uncovered that self-efficacy is a significant predictor of Perceived Behaviour Control and Subjective norms as well. In any case, they didn't analyse its effect on Entrepreneurial Intention. Self-efficacy psychologically affects Entrepreneurial Intention. Moreover, self-efficacy is additionally expected to positively affect Perceived Behaviour Control. Perceived risks are required to adversely affect the Perceived Behaviour Control and the attitude towards entrepreneurship [13].

In light of the recommendations examined above, it was hypothesized that: Self-Efficacy, Attitude, Perceived Behaviour Control as well as Subjective norms and Perceived Risk has a significantly positive impact on the Entrepreneurial Intentions. All constructs of the research were reflective in nature. The scales for attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and the entrepreneurial intention was adjusted from Lorz and Linan and Chen [8], Shah, Shah, Soomro and Soomro [7] and the Self-efficacy scale was received from Schwarz and Jerusalem.

On an overall basis, the strength of the structural model of their research was high. Their results revealed that self-efficacy, attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms explain 65.7% variance in entrepreneurial intentions. The model of the entrepreneurial intention of the research has not been studied in its entirety, in the past. However, some propositions tested in this study have been examined. Results are briefly discussed below: 

The result of H1 (effect of Self-Efficacy on Entrepreneurial Intention) was harmonious with past research, for example, [10]. Discoveries showed that attitude towards entrepreneurship had a higher coefficient for Entrepreneurial Intention than some other autonomous factors. The consequence of H2 (effect of Attitude on Entrepreneurial Intention) was harmonious with past research [7]. The aftereffect of H3 (effect of Perceived Behaviour Control on Entrepreneurial Intention) was consistent with past research [14] however doesn't uphold the discoveries of the research, for example, [7] which discovered this relationship non-significant. The aftereffect of H4 (effect of Subjective Norms on Entrepreneurial Intention) was compatible with past research [7] in any case; it digressed from the discoveries of the research, for example, which discovered such relationship non-significant. 

The discoveries of their research mostly support the discoveries of Shah and Soomro [7] to the degree that attitude towards entrepreneurship and subjective norms significantly affect Entrepreneurial Intention. Nonetheless, their research doesn't uphold their finding that says Perceived Behaviour Control is certifiably not a significant predictor of Entrepreneurial Intention. The discoveries of their research agree with the discoveries of Tiwari, Bhat, and Tikoria [14] that Attitude, Perceived Behaviour Control and Subjective Norms are the significant predictors of Entrepreneurial Intention. Nonetheless, their research tracked down that Perceived Behaviour Control was the greatest supporter (b = 0.42), trailed by Attitude (0.34) and Subjective Norms (b = 0.19). Nonetheless, their research has tracked down that the greatest supporter of Entrepreneurial Intention was Attitude (b = 0.361) trailed without help from anyone else Efficacy (b = 0.288), Perceived Behaviour Control (b = 0.168) and Subjective Norms (0.165). It bodes well when discoveries show Attitude and Self-Efficacy as more grounded predictors. Subjective norms have been discovered to be a significant predictor of Entrepreneurial Intention, nonetheless, its coefficient is little I.e. 0.165. A portion of the prior research found the insignificant effect of Subjective Norms on Entrepreneurial Intention. 

The limitation to their study was that the sample of the examination was drawn from Pakistani business students presently in Malaysia. The respondents may not address the overall behaviour of the Pakistani students concentrating in Pakistan. Second, convenience sampling was utilized to choose and move toward the students. Third, the investigation didn't have a major example size. Future examinations may incorporate the development of perceived possibility, perceived allure into the model and psychological styles. Besides, they may likewise look at the interceding part of attitude towards entrepreneurship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions; and of perceived risks between self-efficacy and attitude towards entrepreneurship. 

Thirdly, future investigations may likewise gather board information for more thorough and more dependable outcomes. Socioeconomics may likewise assume a part in the assurance of Entrepreneurial Intention. Consequently, future investigations are additionally recommended to assess their effect. The effect of perceived risks is probably going to be tolerably by the personality of students. Thus, future investigations may test the moderating effect. 

According to them, Entrepreneurship can assume an effective part in creating employment opportunities in the country which thusly help in diminishing the unemployment rate, reducing neediness and improving work. Lately, a few examinations have endeavoured to broaden the model in a bid to improve our understanding of the antecedents of Entrepreneurial Intention, past literature utilized theory of planned behaviour to explore Entrepreneurial Intention and be that as it may, in their research, they consolidated two extra factors, Self-efficacy and Perceived Risk. They tracked down that the expansion of these two variables increased the percentage of variance in the entrepreneurial intention of the students.

Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework assists in the coordination of study that shows the necessary ways so as to get the significant data and furthermore to adapt up the issues which are identified with the study. In my research, I will direct a quantitative research design as used by gathering essential information utilizing a survey technique instrument to address the research questions and to accomplish the research targets. A more significant level of results speculation will be permitted by quantitative research which involves countless respondents. Moreover, in overview research, if the quantity of respondents is high, the model is then tried with statistical tools.

This research is proposed to give direction towards target accomplishment that helps in the examination of the relationship of different variables in the framework. 

By considering all the above mentioned researches, I decided to focus on the following independent variables and their effect on entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate study. So, the chosen factors are, Attitude, educational support, relational support and self-confidence. As to make the rationale of the relationship, among various variables that are viewed as significant to the study, a model is provided with the assistance of the research framework.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

Our study has some certain limitations as well. Firstly, like the past examinations in the writing, the study centres around intentionality. Obviously intentions may not transform into behaviour or experience later on. Consequently, regardless of whether one respondent expressed a high entrepreneurial intention in the study, she may pick a totally unique vocation way later on. Indeed, it has been a typical issue for practically all study in the writing, there is no other specific approach to measure the propensity for entrepreneurship. In this manner, the statements of respondents about their entrepreneurial intention were taken as a solid wellspring of data. In any case, it very well may be more helpful to quantify this variable through various things so as to lessen estimation mistake in additional examinations. Since the gathered information depended on the view of the students, a second the limitation may show up on a potential distinction among perception and reality. 

Figure 2: Model of Entrepreneurial Intention Determinants

Clearly, there is consistently a risk that the view of students in the outside maybe not the same as the real world. The examinations that intend to show such real factors may demonstrate that, for example, the universities are effective to invigorate entrepreneurship or financial framework are supporting entrepreneurs sufficiently and so on. These sorts of researches are exceptionally significant to picture the entrepreneurial atmosphere. Nonetheless, it is similarly critical to investigate how these given conditions are seen by entrepreneurs, regardless of whether they have limited information on the rest of the world. The current study intends to comprehend the perception of students in the context.

Additionally, similar examinations must be applied to more universities in Bahrain. Second, the current investigation has focused on relevant variables. Different factors, for example, the character can be studied to discover the significant determinants of individual attitude toward entrepreneurship. Also, diverse examinations can be led to recognize the significance of various logical and character factors for various nations. Last, there is a requirement for subjective researches too for investigating the effect of relevant components on entrepreneurial intention. 

Since the information was gathered from an example which will be drawn from Bahrain, the outcomes can be summed up just in Bahrain. In any case, this limitation can be changed with additional investigations. Specifically, researches led in different countries may give some multifaceted contrasts and make new research questions. Another limitation is that many of the responses of questionnaire could be just randomly filled, as not everyone has enough time to read the survey thoroughly. And some might not understand the questionnaire properly. So, to overcome this issue it will take time but the responses can be more accurate by personally meeting my respondents and explaining to them in detail. As well as to give some sort of small reward in return of filling the survey.

Definition of the Key Terms

There have been many important terms which were repeated again and again in the research. They are defined and briefly explained as follows:

Entrepreneurial Intention

Entrepreneurial intention is described as the conscious perspective that goes before activity and coordinates consideration toward entrepreneurial practices, for example, beginning a business and becoming an entrepreneur [15]. Whereas, Remeikiene and Startiene [16] featured that entrepreneurial intention as the developing cognizant perspective that individual desires to begin another venture or make new core value in a current organization. In this way, hypotheses identifying with human intention are the appropriate speculations to build up the applied system of the research.

Educational Support

It is clear that proficient education in universities is an efficient method of getting essential information about entrepreneurship. Despite the fact that, in their examination, Wang and Wong [17] basically cantered on character qualities of students, they additionally called attention to the way that the entrepreneurial dreams of numerous students are blocked by deficient readiness; their business information is insufficient, and all the more critically, they are not set up to face challenge to understand their fantasies. Despite the fact that universities give entrepreneurship education, they may not be adequate to cultivate the entrepreneurship culture among university students. Hence, educators may centre to establish a more supportive atmosphere for entrepreneurship [18]. Moreover, recently Caiazza and Vope research outcome shows that there is a relationship between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurship education of an individual. It is common that entrepreneurship education is now well known with a clear structure and precise thinking. It has been recommended that more study is required especially as far as types, goals, and results of these courses [19]. Also, Entrepreneurship programs in institutes are still an ongoing development for people to choose their career as an entrepreneur [20]. 

Attitude

Attitude to entrepreneurship is the most significant determinant of the intention of an individual to be self-employed and this attitude is inspired by the nature of the respondents. A positive attitude towards starting their own business is good for boosting the entrepreneurial behaviour of an individual, irrespective of their educational background [21].

Relational Support

In a research by Ambad and Damita they investigated the desire of university students and the consequences of the examination identified relational influence as one of the significant factors. It was indicated that family was the second factor influencing the profession selection of respondents after their own understanding. Consequently, the support of loved ones is probably going to influence one's vocation determination. In the current examination, this social support essentially shows the mentally and financial support of loved ones.

Self-confidence

Self-confidence is a disposition about your aptitudes and capacities. It implies you acknowledge and confide in yourself and have a feeling of control in your life. You know your qualities and shortcomings, and have a positive perspective on yourself. You set reasonable desires and objectives, convey decisively, and can deal with analysis. In their examination, Be 'nabou and Tirole [22] clarified why a hopeful self-confidence is viewed as something worth being thankful for. Moreover, self-confidence is important on the surroundings that it makes individuals more pleased, it makes it simpler to persuade others and improves the person's inspiration to attempt extends and continue on in the quest for his objectives.

Taking into account this, it might be normal that inexorably self-confident people may see themselves better than others and have logically cheerful perspectives about their future. Along these lines, if an individual has a raised degree of self-confidence, the nature of the proposed interface between instructive help and entrepreneurial intention may in likewise increase.

Findings

Following are the major findings of my research;

• The mean value of Entrepreneurial intention is 3.5758, for Attitude is 3.5251, for Self-confidence is 3.2776, for Relational support is 3.2548 and for Educational support is 3.7640

• All the used constructs are reliable as the value of Cronbach's Alpha for Entrepreneurial Intention is 0.678, for Attitude is 0.635, for Relational Support is 0.750, for Self-confidence is 0.776 and for Educational Support is 0.814

• The R Square value of my model was 0.678, which shows 68 percent variation in dependent variable due to current intendent variables used in this model

• Attitude has a significant positive effect on Entrepreneurial intention as the beta value is 0.384, which indicate that I unit increase in perceived ease of use will bring 0.384-unit change in student’s intention about entrepreneurship which is significant at 1 percent level of significance 

• Self-confidence has a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention as the beta value is 0.374, which indicate that I unit increase in self-confidence will bring 0.374 unit change in user’s motivation which is significant at 1 percent level of significance

• Relational support also has a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial intention as the beta value is 0.520, which indicate that I unit increase in relational support will bring 0.520-unit change in entrepreneurial intention which is significant at 1 percent level of significance

Research have shown that the entrepreneurial intention has the potential to improve the entrepreneurship rate in the country. Entrepreneurship is also linked to national income or the economy and there is a significant impact of the above mentioned four independent variables on the dependent variable which is entrepreneurial intention. As Bahrain is facing a variety of challenges, the entrepreneurs can contribute to overcoming these difficulties by helping the nation in economy growth. This research recommended a comprehensive original TAM model with attitude, self-confidence, relational support and educational support. As the antecedent variable, and entrepreneurial intention among female undergraduate students in Kingdom of Bahrain, therefore, present research answered the four questions.

The first questions was:

• Is there an impact of Attitude on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• This research confirmed the importance of attitude in the relationship with female student’s entrepreneurial intention. The research proven the positive relationship between these two variables based on the empirical data and analysis. Therefore, in order to increase the entrepreneurial intention, it is necessary for students to have a positive attitude towards start-ups

The second question answered in the research was:

• Is there an impact of Educational support on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• Educational support emerged as a significant factor for entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students in Bahrain. The empirical results established the association among two variables that provides enough rationale to create more awareness about the entrepreneurship to the female students and will help them have an intention to become an entrepreneurs

Similarly, the third question was:

• Is there an impact of Relational support on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• Relational support also show significant effect on the entrepreneurial intention of female students of different universities in Bahrain. Therefore, it is obvious from the empirical findings and analysis that the relational support means the support of loved one, which are friends and family can change the intention of female students to choose their career as entrepreneurship. This support could be motivational or financial support as well

Moreover, the fourth and last question was:

• Is there an impact of Self-confidence on the entrepreneurial intention of female undergraduate students

• However, self-confidence also shows a positive impact on the entrepreneurial intention of female students of universities in Bahrain. The empirical findings and analysis shows that undergraduate female student’s skills and ability can significantly affect their entrepreneurial intention and motivate them to be an entrepreneurs in future. Thus, the findings of this research providing policymakers with significant visions into making more effective tactics to design and implement these above mentioned independent variables, as well as encouraging universities to utilize their resources in educating students about entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial intention is influenced by the several of the factors, such as attitude, relational support, educational support and self-confidence initiative for business start-up

The results of the empirical research revealed that both the students of business field and the students of other fields have similar inspiration for business start-up. It has been established that the students of business have more favourable attitude towards the benefits of education with respect to become an entrepreneurs in comparison with the students of other fields such as mechanic, engineering or IT etc. The students of business are of the belief that education mostly gives to their need for accomplishment, the information of the basics of business management, development of internal locus of control and behavioural control.

Recommendations

Entrepreneurship is significant as an extremely important instrument to advance economic development for the nation's economies, more should be done to advance new undertakings and undertaking to implant dynamism in the economic movement. 

Among a portion of the proposals to advance the entrepreneurial intention are as per the following:

• The need to have a coordinated exertion by the university admins to upgrade the entrepreneurial intention of female students by means of various mediums, for example, classes, instructional classes or comparative hands on experience

• Undergraduates ought to be urged to accept entrepreneurship as a vocation rather than depending upon government and the private sectors for employment. This will help prepare undergraduates with invention, development, risk taking and capacity to deliver effective entrepreneurial good examples and recognizable proof of business openings and help lessen the rising joblessness circumstance in the country 

• The female comprises of a major population in the higher learning institutions. The university should have a few projects to urge the female students to consider their entrepreneurial vocation as another option. The university should likewise participate with a portion of the public area's organizations that cultivate female entrepreneurship

• The findings of this research will be very helpful to the policy makers and university admins as a tool to determine the success of creating confidence in students and encourage them to be entrepreneurs

• One of the significant findings from this study regards the relational support. An increase in relational support can help females to be entrepreneurs in future, the support could be financial or motivational. Parents or rest of the family members should help and motivate their daughters to pursue their dream and goal of entrepreneurship

• Female business students should encourage self-confidence in their skills as future entrepreneurs and should not allow their friends to discourage their entrepreneurial intentions

• The government should involve youth graduates in their entrepreneurship growth programs, provide more entrepreneurship awareness among undergraduate students, as well as provide more funding and other sort of support services to entrepreneurs so as to encourage the undergraduate students as future entrepreneurs of this nation
