Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to present research on determinants of
entrepreneurial intentions through the framework of the theory of
planned behaviour and an individual innovative cognitive style. By
employing the theory of planned behaviour, the authors evaluate
how personal attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural
control can affect one’s intentions to become an entrepreneur.
Additionally, the innovative cognitive style is tested as a potentially
significant determinant of entrepreneurial intentions. A questionnaire
survey was done using the sample of 330 bachelor and master students
in economics and business from Slovenia. Research propositions
were tested using linear hierarchical regression modelling. The
results suggest that personal attitudes towards entrepreneurship,
subjective norms and perceived behavioural control are positively
related to one’s entrepreneurial intentions. The innovative cognitive
style has also been found to be significant in creating one’s intention
to become an entrepreneur. The paper extends the current knowledge
on entrepreneurial intentions by analysing the exclusive and mutual
influence of different factors recognised by the theory of planned
behaviour and the innovative cognitive style on entrepreneurial
intentions, as well as providing useful insights into antecedents of
entrepreneurial intentions in the Slovenian context.
