Sažetak

This study investigates the impact of perceived formal, informal
and regulatory support on entrepreneurial intention. In addition,
entrepreneurial capacity and fear of failure are analyzed as predictors
of the propensity toward entrepreneurship. An empirical analysis
of students in B&H finds that informal support perceived as
support of family and friends exert a significant positive influence
on entrepreneurial intentions. Fear of failure has a significant
adverse impact on entrepreneurial intentions while entrepreneurial
capacity enhances entrepreneurial intention. The negative relationship
between the fear of failure and entrepreneurial intention
is moderated by informal support. In other words, support by
family and friends dampens the negative relationship between
fear of failure and entrepreneurial intention. The findings were
confronted with an ex-post literature review.
