ثبت نشده
چکیده
By conducting a structural equation modeling analysis, the present study tested a model of entrepreneurial intentions. We examined the effect of motivational factors and entrepreneurial exposure on students’ intentions to new venture creation through the mediating role of work attitudes and self-efficacy. Data were collected among 171 undergraduate students from three universities. On the one side, results indicate that intrinsic motivations have a positive indirect influence on entrepreneurial intentions through the mediation of work attitudes. On the other side, Self-efficacy mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial exposure and intentions. Discussion and implications for future research are presented.
