Abstract

This study aimed to examine the entrepreneurial intentions of Omani students. Because this study used analytical methods to provide measurable data, it adopted a quantitative approach to research and a deductive methodology. Purposive sampling, a non-probability sampling method, was used in this study. The Venesaar et al. (2014) standard questionnaire was modified to collect the data. 478 respondents provided data. The results showed that students were motivated to pursue business. The findings demonstrate that students have positive intentions toward entrepreneurship. I am willing to go to any length to become an entrepreneur (4.06), which had the highest mean score for student entrepreneurial intentions. Because all values were greater than 0.05, there was no evidence to reject the null hypothesis. This implies that the entrepreneurial intentions of undergraduate students in Oman are unaffected by factors such as family income, father's profession, education, or program of study.
