    This study seeks to determine the entrepreneurial intentions among business graduates of Thai universities, as influenced by various predictors. The present study aims to investigate the influence of entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial education and university support towards the entrepreneurial intentions of young graduates to become self-employed and entrepreneurs. The study also contributes to the determination of the moderating role of culture between independent and dependent variables of the proposed framework, on the basis of collected data from Thai university graduates by using SMART-PLS. Results of the study found that entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial education and environmental support from educational institutions influences the entrepreneurial intentions of university graduates. The findings of previous studies and contradictory findings were considered, in the context of determining the role of university support, and all direct hypotheses were accepted statistically. The moderating role between independent and dependent variables by culture was also examined, and the results demonstrated that culture moderated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial education as independent variables and dependent variables on entrepreneurial intention significantly, but found that culture doesn't moderate the relationship between university support and intentions towards entrepreneurship. This study investigates this relationship for the first time in an attempt to determine the intention of individuals to become entrepreneurs, along with the moderating role of culture.

    Just two nations in Southeast Asia have committed to programs and funding to prepare over 72, 000 new PhD researchers and academics for specific industries. This study, therefore, conducted both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 412 Thai engineers selected from a population of 1211 Thai Federation of Industries companies to investigate how need, gap, and competency affected Thai engineer work capability. The structural equation model was conducted with AMOS 21 software and from the analysis, competency (β = 0.16) and needs (β = 0.77) demonstrated a significant effect on capabilities, while needs demonstrated a significant effect on the gap. Additionally, cultural awareness of other Asian regional nations ranked as the weakest link in an engineer's capability perception.
