Abstract:
This paper examines factors which stimulate in taking
decision on entrepreneurship aiming to explore the
responsible ones to create the necessary intention.
This is an empirical and quantitative study conducted
on some university students of Bangladesh. A total of
300 questionnaires were distributed to the students
who had completed the course “Entrepreneurship
Development and Small Business Management” from
different universities of Dhaka City in Bangladesh. A total
of 261 students completed the questionnaire properly.
The results indicate that desire for independence highly
influences the entrepreneurial intention of the students.
Parallel factors, e.g., locus of control and proactiveness
also influence entrepreneurial intention and are stronger
than the other factors like risk taking propensity and
entrepreneurship education. The work suggests that
psychological characteristics are crucial in developing
entrepreneurial personality. Additionally, it stresses on
necessity of entrepreneurship education having proper
psychological characteristics to create intention of
entrepreneurship among the students
