The aim of the research is to examine students’ entrepreneurial intentions. A survey was conducted at Monash University, Australia. The respondents of this research were the postgraduate students who were studying communication and media at Monash University, Australia. The study selected 90 samples using purposive sampling techniques. The theory of Planned Behaviour as well as Shapero’s Entrepreneurial Event Model were used to explain the entrepreneurial intentions of the students. The regression method was used in order to examine factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of the students. More so, to determine how students differ on their entrepreneurial intentions, analysis of variance has been employed. The results show that awareness, feasibility, and self-efficacy have a positive relationship with the entrepreneurial intentions of media industries. Future research can be done by taking data from wider ranges of locations, which will provide more comprehensive and reliable results regarding students’ intentions toward media entrepreneurship.

2023-01-25T05:19:52-05:00

In general, it is ruminated that workers’ remittance is one of a major source for external finance and economic growth for developing countries like Bangladesh. This study pinpoints the influence of workers’ remittances (WRs) on the economic growth of Bangladesh by analyzing time series data of 43 years from 1976 to 2018 drawn out from the World Bank database. Using ARDL, we have tried to investigate the relationship of gross domestic product (GDP) with remittances and some other variables such as gross capital formation (a proxy of capital stock) and employed labor force. The study finds that 1% increase of remittance earning induces to increase GDP by 0.37%. It can be concluded from the regression results that there exists a significant positive relationship between WRs and economic growth in Bangladesh. However, there are some fluctuations of remittance flow in Bangladesh in recent years. Hence, this study acclaims that Bangladesh should take suitable initiatives for keeping an increasing trend of remittances in the coming years and make pragmatic policies that inspire and stimulate the inflow of remittances through proper channel for economic growth and development.
