Abstract
This study aimed at ascertaining the effect of entrepreneurship education on fostering entrepreneurial leadership in the context of Korean university students. Total 224 students participated in the study from three different universities nationwide. In order to acquire clear understanding of the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial leadership, three key variables that include proactiveness, innovativeness and risk-taking were focused on the study in line with the prior studies. The findings suggest that entrepreneurship education had positive relationships with proactiveness, innovativeness and risk-taking, all of which are known as the key elements of entrepreneurial leadership. The findings imply that entrepreneurship education should be reinforced to foster the basic competence of entrepreneurial leadership for university students. Both theoretical and practical implications were provided to give guidelines the effective entrepreneurship education down the road.
