“…Second, it has been noted in previous research (Garcia‐Rodriguez et al ; Pillis and De Reardon ) that cultural differences influence entrepreneurial intention. This study does not take into account these differences: thus, for the purpose of a cross‐cultural comparison of our findings, the model could be tested using data from universities in different countries.…”

“…AEI was measured by adapting three items suggested by the related literature (Chen et al ; Liñán and Chen ; Prodan and Drnovsek ). Measures for the TPB constructs were adapted from existing scales (Ajzen ; Fini et al ; Garcia‐Rodriguez et al ; Kautonen, Van Gelderen, and Fink ; Santos, Roomi, and Liñán ; Yurtkoru, Kuşcu and Doğanay ). For all constructs except for attitude (measured using a semantic bi‐polar scale), a seven‐point Likert scale was adopted.…”

Although the theme of academic spin‐off has received increasing consideration in entrepreneurship literature, little attention has been devoted to identifying the factors that drive young researchers to set up ventures based on the results of their research. To identify the determinants of academic entrepreneurial intention (AEI), we tested a model on a sample of Italian researchers using structural equation modeling and integrating the Triple Helix Model with the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The findings highlight that all psychological variables of TPB are relevant in predicting AEI, whereas only some contextual and exogenous variables (namely, government and industrial/financial support) directly influence AEI.

“…Since its introduction, the TPB has been empirically tested and validated in numerous studies. These studies include those that focused on the intention to start a business (Krueger et al, 2000;Liñán & Chen, 2006Nishimura & Tristán, 2011;García-Rodríguez, Gil-Soto, Ruiz-Rosa & Sene, 2013;Liñán et al, 2013), growth intentions (Douglas, 2013) and the growth decision (Wiklund & Shepherd, 2003). Liñán and Chen (2006) and Liñán, Rodríguez-Cohard and Rueda-Cantuche (2011 found that subjective norms have an indirect influence on entrepreneurial intention via personal attraction and perceived behavioural control.…”

This paper investigates the entrepreneurial intentions of 329 final-year commerce students in a rural university in the Limpopo province. The study is based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). The objectives of the study were to test whether the TPB can help explain the entrepreneurial intentions of rural university students; to determine whether rural students will have intentions to start a business and to test the validity of the entrepreneurial intention questionnaire in a South African context. The study was conducted by means of a survey. SPSS was used to analyse the data. The results indicate that entrepreneurial intention of the respondents can be predicted from the attitude towards becoming an entrepreneur, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms. The findings reveal that the TPB is a valuable tool in understanding entrepreneurial intention of rural university students in South Africa. The majority of students intend to start a business in the future and the entrepreneurial intention questionnaire was found to be a valid instrument to measure the entrepreneurial intention of students in a South African context. Recommendations for policy makers, entrepreneurship educators and researchers have been highlighted.

“…Push factors involve poor pay and lack of prospects, lack of innovation and negative displacement or lack of alternatives, unemployment and job insecurity. Prior studies report that entrepreneurs start their own businesses in order to enjoy the benefits offered by entrepreneurship (pull factors) and because of the push factors (García-Rodríguez, Gil-Soto, Ruiz-Rosa & Sene, 2013;Krishna, 2013;Moore et al, 2010;Liang & Dunn, 2007;Henley, 2005). In a study involving a representative sample of 1000 nascent entrepreneurs, Schjoedt and Shaver (2007) found that new ventures are started by individuals who leave their jobs despite being happy in those jobs.…”

Entrepreneurial motivation is vital in translating entrepreneurial intention into action. This paper investigates whether entrepreneurial role models, social valuation of entrepreneurship, perceived knowledge of entrepreneurial support and barriers to starting a business, entrepreneurial intention and its determinants are related to entrepreneurial motivation. The study integrates the theory of planned behaviour with environmental factors to determine the factors influencing entrepreneurial motivation among final year rural university students in the Limpopo province, South Africa. The study was carried out by means of a survey and included 329 final year students who were registered for various commerce degrees. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were analysed by means of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial motivation has a significant correlation with entrepreneurial intention and its three determinants, social valuation of entrepreneurship, having entrepreneurial role models, knowledge of entrepreneurial support and perceived barriers to starting a business. The respondents were motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and the need for independence. The results revealed that entrepreneurial intention, the attitude towards becoming an entrepreneur, subjective norms, social valuation of entrepreneurship, knowledge of entrepreneurial role models and entrepreneurial support have a significant influence on entrepreneurial motivation. This study is the first in South Africa to use theory of planned behaviour to investigate the factors that influence entrepreneurial motivation. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by shedding light into the impact of the social environment on entrepreneurial motivation in South Africa.Keywords: Barriers to starting a business, entrepreneurial support, theory of planned behaviour, social valuation of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial role models
