“…According to Carr & Sequeira (2007) previous exposure to entrepreneurship, especially growing up in an entrepreneurial family, significantly influences attitudes toward entrepreneurship. This is also supported by a study on Romanian students (Shook & Bratianu, 2010), using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TBP), whose results showed that self-efficacy and the social desirability were positively related to entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, practical exposure to entrepreneurship, by personal entrepreneurial experience, or the family entrepreneurship background, have been reported to impact positively on entrepreneurial intentions among students (Basu & Virick, 2008;Ahmed et al 2010).…”

“…Attitudes are supposed to be very good predictors of intentions, along with subjective norms, perceived self efficacy and feasibility of the planned entrepreneurial venture. There have been previous validations and applications of the model in the empirical research of youth entrepreneurial intentions (Carr & Sequeira, 2007, (Engle R. , et al, 2010; (Shook & Bratianu, 2010). On the other hand, the Shapero-Krueger model relies on propensity for behaviour, along with the perceived desirability and feasibility as fundamental direct predictors of entrepreneurial intentions.…”

“…This suggests that, the intention of an individual to start a new venture not only depend on opinions of friends and family members, but also on external factors such as availability of funding and resources, presence of opportunity and on the perceived and actual competencies of the individual himself/herself. In a study on Romanian students, Shook and Bratianu (2010) reported a negative relationship between SN and EI. This implies that the less supportive important people are of a student, the more likely s/he would have an EI.…”

Article HistoryThis study aims at evaluating the outlook of the students, who are studying at a countryside institution in a developing country, towards entrepreneurship by applying the theory of planned behavior. Taking into account the lack of employment opportunities in rural areas in developing economies, and the scarcity of literature on students' self-employment intentions there; we find this study timely. The results show that there is positive outlook of the respondents toward self-employment, and the theory of planned behavior explains a significant portion of the variance in their entrepreneurial intention. Attitude toward the entrepreneurship being the significant predictor, followed by perceived behavioral control and subjective norm. This study contributes to the literature by filling the scarcity on the application of the theory of planned behavior on learners from rural institution; and thereby validates the generalizability of the theory. It also offers some important policy measures to the policy makers at government level.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature by showing evidence that the Theory of Planned Behavior is equally able to measure entrepreneurial intention among students under a setting of rural higher educational institution in a developing economy, and thereby further validates the generalizability of the theory's relevance across contexts.

Students of entrepreneurship either have 'biased perceptions' and/or they lack knowledge. The literature states that biased perceptions can have lasting effect even after the training (von Graevenitz, et.al, 2010). Lack of knowledge hinders the decision making of nascent entrepreneurs when they rely on personal opinions or past experiences as heuristics derived from small samples or non-random samples. Currently entrepreneurship education is not designed to address the impact of biased perceptions and lack of knowledge. There is a need to separate biased perceptions from 'lack of knowledge' so that entrepreneurship training could be implemented on a more tailored manner. It is the goal of this paper to devise such an instrument in the lean start up context which is a widely used model of entrepreneurship training. The proposed instrument is tested on a convenience-based sample composed of 212 people. Employment of a three-tiered instrument in this context is a first of its kind. Knowledge or lack of knowledge is checked in the first tier, relevant reasoning is assessed in the second and certainty is evaluated in the third tier.
