Abstract

This article aims to examine students' intentions toward entrepreneurships after their graduation and whether there are any significant differences between those students who intend to become entrepreneurs and those who do not intend to be so, in terms of their individual characteristics and contextual factors. The data was collected through a self-administrated questionnaire from a convenient sample of 250 business students in the two universities (Kuwait University and PSUT University) in Kuwait and Jordan. The findings indicated there were significant differences between the two groups of students who intend to become entrepreneurs and those who do not intend in terms of their individual characteristics factors (optimism, innovativeness, risk taking tolerance, and the need for achievement) and in terms of their contextual factors. The research has been finalized with some practical implications and recommendations.
