| Abstract: | A covariance structure model is tested to identify the causes of entrepreneurial intent among engineering students. Specifically, it is studied whether steady personal dispositions or perceptions of contextual founding conditions have an impact on the intention to found one's own business. The results indicated that personality traits have a strong impact on the attitude towards self-employment. The entrepreneurial attitude is strongly linked with the intention to start a new venture. |
