Abstract

Entrepreneurial intent is a crucial topic of study in the field of entrepreneurship, as it provides insights into the factors that drive individuals to start new ventures. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for studying entrepreneurial intent, which builds upon the well-established Theory of Planned Behavior and incorporates additional contextual factors. The proposed framework aims to guide researchers in conducting rigorous and meaningful investigations of entrepreneurial intent across diverse settings, including different disciplines, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultural contexts.
