Abstract

The present work attempts to examine the different cultural patterns and factors of Spanish and Portuguese university students in terms of their respective intentions either to become self-employed or to launch their own businesses. As tested in numerous studies, entrepreneurial intentions stem from various different psychological and socio-cultural factors that collectively shape such motivations. Thus, whilst aware that entrepreneurship and employment rates prove very unfavorable in Portugal and Spain, we seek to establish whether the factors subject to study in the scientific literature illuminate and portray differential patterns between these two countries.
