Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the purpose of this research is to examine the influence of attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on student entrepreneurship intention. Employing a convenience sampling, a survey has been conducted towards 177 undergraduate students. The outcomes of the study demonstrate that all factors significantly influence entrepreneurship intention. Our findings also show that perceived behavioral control appeared as the strongest predictor of students’ entrepreneurship intention. These findings contribute to broadening the scope of academic literature especially within entrepreneurship studies, particularly from Malaysia's perspective. The practical implications and future recommendations also have been discussed.

Entrepreneurship allows students to learn beyond their chosen field of study and provides an interdisciplinary work and development environment. This study aims to examine the influence of attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurship intention among Malaysian undergraduates. In addition, this study intends to compare the influence of attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurship intention between diploma and bachelor’s degree students. Based on a quantitative approach, primary survey data were collected from 400 undergraduate students at a public university using convenience sampling to limit bias. The findings in this study indicate that attitude towards behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are significantly positively related to entrepreneurship intention for diploma and bachelor’s degree students. Notwithstanding this, the multiple regression results reveal that the strongest predictor of entrepreneurship intention for diploma students is the subjective norm while perceived behavioral control is the main predictor that affects entrepreneurship intention for bachelor’s degree students. These findings contribute to the entrepreneurial intention literature by applying the theory of planned behavior in Malaysia with valuable practical implications for the management of universities and the government.
