| Abstract: | Public attention has increasingly shifted toward sustainability, particularly concerning the role of businesses in climate change. As a result, entrepreneurship is often viewed as a way to promote sustainability and address environmental issues. While previous research has primarily focused on variables that influence general entrepreneurial intention, there is limited research on factors specifically affecting green entrepreneurial intention. This study aims to explore whether metacognitive awareness is associated with green entrepreneurial intention and to identify which subcomponents are most relevant. Green entrepreneurship has been linked to skills such as problem-solving, self-regulation, and strategic decision-making, abilities closely related to metacognitive awareness. University students were chosen as the target group due to evidence suggesting that educational settings significantly influence entrepreneurial intention. The goal is to identify skills that could be developed through education to foster sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. A cross-sectional survey design was used, involving 47 university students. Participants completed an online questionnaire measuring demographics, metacognitive awareness, and green entrepreneurial intention (GEI). Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between overall metacognitive awareness and GEI. Among subcomponents, conditional knowledge and debugging strategies showed the strongest correlations with GEI. However, multiple regression analysis indicated that none of the subcomponents uniquely predicted GEI. |
