description Objective: The study aims to explore the moderating role of entrepreneurial passion for founding to unearth the mechanisms that underlie the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions in the context of student entrepreneurship. Research Design & Methods: This study employed survey methods involving 200 students from several private and public universities in greater Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. We processed the data with Hayes’ PROCESS Macro version 4.1 via SPSS 26. Findings: Students’ entrepreneurial passion for founding moderated the positive influence of students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions. The significance of this moderating effect is that it applied only to students with a high entrepreneurial passion for founding. Implications & Recommendations: In an initiative to rev up students’ entrepreneurship development, it is essential to focus on founding passion due to its vital role in strengthening the relationship between self-efficacy and intention. Thus, the government and higher education institutions must create a supportive ecosystem to encourage students to develop a stronger passion for entrepreneurship. Contribution & Value Added: This research enriches the literature by providing further insight into the mechanisms that underlie the process of forming students’ entrepreneurial intentions. These findings confirm that students’ passion for founding can strengthen the effect of self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions.
