| Summary: | Our first main objective is to introduce the new socioeconomic concept of social capital (Lin, 2003), within intention model of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), to study its influence on the individual's firm-creation potential. Our second main objective is testing whether perceived social valuation of entrepreneurship and perceived personal skills have any significant impact on the entrepreneurial intention. By solely concentrating on the components that make up the TPB, we facilitate comparisons with previous research. Therefore, four components in attitude and four components in perceived behavioural control (PBC) have been included in the study. Measurement of all constructs has been done with the help of questionnaires which have good statistics support. Results from this research may also have very important consequences for entrepreneurship education. © 2014 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. |
