Abstract
The primary source of employment, innovation, economic flexibility, and
growth is entrepreneurship. It is the mechanism through which individuals
and organizations flourish. Based on psychological factors, this study
investigated the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and
psychological factors among students studying business in different
universities of Lahore, Pakistan. The psychological factors included locus
of control, need for independence, risk-taking, and emotional intelligence
have been considered. This study’s target population consisted of a total
sample of 250 students from different universities in Lahore. Convenience
sampling technique was used and the overall results showed that the
psychological factors selected have a positive but weak correlation with
entrepreneurial intentions. On the implication aspect, this study gives a
perspective to business students to start a new venture after graduation.
The findings of this research add value to the existing literature by linking
psychological factors. This model needs to be further developed by
investigating other psychological factors as well as environmental factors
on entrepreneurial intentions.
