The study is related to the intention to be entrepreneurs among Politeknik Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (POLISAS) students and can be explained by Ajzen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior. For this reason, this study firstly indicated the influence of psychological characteristics on entrepreneurial intention. Another part of this study is to point out the effect of psychological characteristics on attitudinal factors as well as the effect of attitudinal factors on entrepreneurial intention. The data were surveyed and gathered from final year diploma students from two fields of study (engineering and commerce) offered by POLISAS. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents but only 88 questionnaires were used in the statistical analyses. The results indicated that the hypothesized linkage between psychological characteristics and entrepreneurial intention was fully supported. The study also found that the hypothesized linkage between psychological characteristics and attitudinal factors were partially supported. Implications and limitations of the findings are specified for future study.
Factors affecting entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial attitudes among rural Tunisian women
Acta Carolus Robertus, 2023
Entrepreneurship is strongly affected by the intentions and attitude of an entrepreneur. Women entrepreneurs are the most important elements of success in all communities, but they are most often neglected by society which leads to a different attitude and intention of women towards entrepreneurship as compared to men. Both societal and familial factors are responsible for the development of the entrepreneurial attitude and intentions of an individual. Tunisian society is more rigid towards women's entrepreneurship due to the presence of patriarchal nature which causes a lower interest of women in business activities. This review provides insight into the factors responsible for the attenuation of entrepreneurial attitude (EA) and entrepreneurial intentions (EI) among rural women of Tunisia. We reviewed previous literature for this cause and tried to identify the most prominent effects of societal, cultural and familial factors affecting the EA and EI of women residing in rural Tunisia. Results from the data yield some factors which had a direct or indirect influence on the EA and EI of rural Tunisian women which included social capital, family support (Husband and parents), entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial training, regional context (Culture), selfefficacy, pull factor, an emotional factor, lack of managerial skills, risk-taking, role model (Parental and organizational) and reference groups.

Step-wise multiple regressions were the main statistics used for data analysis.

A study on the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions among Saudi students
Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Issues, 2018
The present study has developed and tested a model based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with addition of some psychological variables to figure out the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions of Saudi undergraduate business students. A sample of 550 students were taken. Responses were collected by a self administered questionaire and analysed by using a univariate statistics and Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study has emerged with behavioral and personality antecedents (Attitude, Subjective Norm, Internal locus of control, need for achievement and propensity to take risk) of entrepreneurial intent among Saudi students. The results underpin the idea that personality factors along with the behavioral factors strengthen the predictibility of intentions to be involved in an entrepreneurial behavior.
