摘要
This study aims to uncover the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention among business undergraduates in Malaysia. The theory of planned behavior suggests that personal attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and entrepreneurial education influence entrepreneurial intentions. Questionnaires were disseminated to 400 respondents, with 200 valid responses considered for statistical analysis. The results of multiple linear regression suggest that personal attitude, perceived behavioral control, and entrepreneurial education significantly influence entrepreneurial intentions. The insignificant results obtained for subjective norms warrant further investigation. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in light of the findings.
