Abstract

Individuals find their way to entrepreneurship either via early entrepreneurial career activities or a transitional phase in employment. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior and life history theory, our study explains how beliefs relevant to behavior and social origins influence individual career paths to entrepreneurship. Results are based on a nationwide survey involving 1003 individuals in a critical career decision phase and show that individuals growing up in rather uncertain environments (i.e., those from lower social classes) are more likely to postpone their entrepreneurial career intentions.
