Abstract

Previous empirical studies on students' entrepreneurial intentions lack the viewpoint of career choice. This paper adopts a framework through which becoming an entrepreneur is the result of selecting from alternative careers by applying a multinomial logit model to survey data on 187 university students. The estimation results indicate that: 1) both entrepreneurial experience and the existence of an admired entrepreneur positively affect entrepreneurial intention; 2) membership in the faculty of commerce positively affects entrepreneurial intention and negatively affects the intention to become a public employee; 3) co-residence with family is negatively related to entrepreneurial intention.
