Abstract

This paper examines entrepreneurial intentions in the
context of life course transitions among undergraduate
students enrolled in the economics and electrical engineering faculties of the University of Belgrade. The entrepreneurial intention model is built upon the theory of planned
behaviour, examining the associations between students’
willingness to become an entrepreneur, their attitudes and
perceptions about the importance of subjective norms,
and perceived behavioural control variables. The data
comes from a self-administered survey. The results show
that attitudes towards entrepreneurship and behavioural
control factors form positive and statistically significant
associations with students’ future entrepreneurial orien�tation, while subjective norms and risk-willingness add a
little explanatory power to the initial regression models.
In order to better understand the initial stage of life course
transitions among the students, single regressions are
estimated. All the factors appear as statistically significant
with meaningful coefficient values, further showing that
entrepreneurial prediction is highly gendered and depends
on what faculty the student attends. This paper reveals for
policy practitioners the main characteristics of young entrepreneurs-to-be and their understanding of the process
of creating a business venture.
