Abstract

Successful promotion of entrepreneurship requires an understanding of entrepreneurial intentions (EIs). The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between EI and its antecedents concerning the undergraduates in India. Extending the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) framework, a hypo-deductive research-based approach was applied to test the hypotheses associated with EI and its antecedents. An adapted version of the entrepreneurial intention questionnaire (EIQ) was used in the survey. The partial least square method was used to test the hypotheses. The results reflected that personal attitude, perceived behavioural control, and university support make a significant positive impact on the EI of undergraduates. The findings suggest the establishment and promotion of social norms to boost entrepreneurship. The outcomes establish the importance of personal attitude, perceived behaviour control, and university support as the key influencer in boosting the EI of students and appeal to university authorities and policymakers to focus on them.
