Abstract
The present study is done with the objective of exploring whether constructs taken from the theory of planned behavior (TPB) influence the entrepreneurial intention of prospective university undergraduates after they graduate. For this purpose, 400 non-business major students were randomly selected from four state universities in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa University, Adama University, Mizan Tepi University, and Debretabor University). 355 valid questionnaires were feed into SPSS version 20.0 and multiple regressions were run. The results reveal that the model explained 51 % of the variation in the dependent variable. Attitude, Perceived behavioral control (PBC), and subjective norm were found to be statistically significant. Attitude explained the highest variation in intention followed by PBC and subjective norm. Moreover, the students’ level of intending to start a business after graduation was high. Policy implications, Limitations, and directions for future studies are included.
