The sample consists of 469 students in their final year at several Malaysian research universities. A questionnaire was administered to these students to assess their entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial career choice behavior. Finding showed that both entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial career choice behavior were at average levels among students. In addition, they indicated a positive significant relationship between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial career choice behavior: higher intention to pursue an entrepreneurship career makes a person more likely to engage in entrepreneurial activities.
