Abstract

Policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders continue to be interested in entrepreneurship because of its enormous potential to address some of the world's most serious problems. Entrepreneurship has emerged as a popular career choice among youth from emerging economies. Thus, understanding the relationship between motivations to start a business and their entrepreneurial intention is critical. Additionally, understanding the influence of a supportive institutional environment in this context is timely and relevant. The study used Smart PLS for analysing data collected from 311 online surveys from students studying at various academic institutions in India. Results validate the model with high predictive value and establish a positive relationship between entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial intention. The current study significantly advances our knowledge of the process of entrepreneurial intention formation. Additionally, for developing economies like India, the research on the supportive institutional environment has significant policy ramifications.
