AB  - The elements of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) such as work-based learning, integrated learning,
and experiential learning have been widely integrated in the entrepreneurial learning and education.
Nevertheless, there has been a lack of sufficient research concerning the outputs of WIL programs (e.g.,
undergraduate attributes, psychological attributes and learning outcome) for nurturing graduate
entrepreneurship learning. The survey was conducted among 383 business degree undergraduates who have
undergone various WIL programs. The results show that motivation to learn is affected by computing skills
and mediated by self-esteem. Interestingly, entrepreneurial skills only influence motivation to learn through the
self-esteem. The finding provides a valuable insight into the government, higher education providers and
practitioners in developing strategies pertaining to the WIL environment for promoting graduate with
entrepreneurship attributes.
