Antecedentes da intenção empreendedora: uma perspectiva com alunos da pós graduação

Entrepreneurial intent is defined as a personal trait that precedes a behavior and can be a state of mind in which the individual is directed toward something he wishes to achieve or to form moments before the realization of an idea. Knowing the entrepreneurial intent, differences and similarities between the attitudes of individuals can lead us to the reasons that lead them to undertake. The objective of this research was to analyze the entrepreneurial intention in the dimensions of personal attitudes, subjective norms and perception of planning control, based on a sample of 107 postgraduate students from the Federal University of Santa Maria. The research method is applied in nature, with quantitative approach, with exploratory and descriptive objectives. The technical survey of data was used using structural equation modeling from three hypotheses, where only hypothesis H1 (Personal Attitudes are directly and positively related to Planning Control Perception) was confirmed, H2 (Subjective Norms if directly and positively related to Planning Control Perception) and H3 (Subjective Norms directly and positively related to Personal Attitudes) were rejected.
