University Infrastructure as a Factor Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention: A Structural Equation Model

This chapter presents the results of an investigation on entrepreneurial intention in 2014 university students in Mexico. In this chapter, the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, The theory of planned behavior, organizational behavior and human decision processes, 50(2):179–211, ISSN 0749-5978, https://doi.org/10.1016/0749-5978(91)90020-T , 1991) was used, analyzed under a structural equation model that allows us to evaluate how the variables attitude toward entrepreneurship, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial spaces allow us to explain the intention of entrepreneur in university students. The study showed that there is a statistically significant and a strong and positive relationship between entrepreneurship spaces and the entrepreneurial intention of young people studying a career in administration and business at public universities.
