Abstract

This study focused on the correlation between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention for a sample comprised of business students from Romania. In addition to investigating self-efficacy as antecedent of entrepreneurial intention, a number of demographic variables were also tested as determinants for self-efficacy. The results disclosed a significant positive relation between general self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention on business students in Romania. The analysis further revealed a gender imbalance, male respondents displaying a higher score in self-efficacy than the female respondents. In addition, the analysis displayed a positive correlation between work experience and general self-efficacy and a significant correlation between parent workplace and self-efficacy. This correlation between parent workplace and general self-efficacy of their adult children is particularly valuable as there is no previous literature suggesting this finding, and therefore, this study may open a new avenue for future research to investigate this type of cultural parent–children subliminal transfer and the way this influences the children’s life and entrepreneurial choices well into their adulthood and throughout their lives.
