Determining the Factors that Affect Entrepreneurial Intention: A Research on University Students

Abstract

Entrepreneurial activities are important for the economy of Turkey as an upper-middle income country. The main purpose of this study was to determine the factors that affect entrepreneurial intention of higher education students in Turkey. In this context, the data were gathered from 332 university students through a questionnaire form. The model was empirically tested with parametrical statistical analysis. The results showed that personal attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm had a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial intention. However, entrepreneurial intention was not significantly affected by the remaining factors measured, namely self-efficacy, educational support, relational support and structural support
