Determinants of entrepreneurial intention among Sudanese university students

Highlights

  • Over the years, understanding the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention has gained centrality within the research stream (Bird & Jelinek, 1988; Boyd & Vozikis, 1994; Krueger et al, 2000; Tolentino et al, 2014)

  • The results showed that innovativeness and cultural valuation were positively and significantly associated with students' entrepreneurial intention

  • Given that despite being identified as a country that abounds with various natural resources, Sudan faces high graduate unemployment— a pressing matter that requires the consequential attention of the government and policymakers—it is even more imperative to understand the influence mechanism of entrepreneurial intentions among them

Summary

Introduction

Over the years, understanding the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention has gained centrality within the research stream (Bird & Jelinek, 1988; Boyd & Vozikis, 1994; Krueger et al, 2000; Tolentino et al, 2014). According to Mitrovic Veljkovic et al (2019), entrepreneurship intention is not just a single trait, but a combination of several traits that are influenced by different factors. This serves as the starting point of this study. Given that despite being identified as a country that abounds with various natural resources, Sudan faces high graduate unemployment— a pressing matter that requires the consequential attention of the government and policymakers—it is even more imperative to understand the influence mechanism of entrepreneurial intentions among them. This study outlined the fallowing question: To what extent do university students' personal, social, and societal factors have a significant relationship with their entrepreneurial intention?
