Contributing to the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship by providing empirical evidence of the influence of SEE on sustainable opportunity recognition. Future research directions include validating these findings across diverse educational settings, exploring the long-term impacts of SEE on entrepreneurial outcomes, as well as extending the exploration of SEE’s effect on the entire sustainable entrepreneurial process.
