The objective of this study is to determine the relationships between professional attraction, entrepreneurial capacity and entrepreneurial experience toward entrepreneurial intention among the students enrolled in technical courses of a university in the South of Malaysia. All variables are measured from developed instrument using 5-point interval scale: professional attraction (6 items) and entrepreneurial capacity (5 items) as the exogenous variable, while entrepreneurial experience 3 items) and entrepreneurial intention (6 items) as endogenous variables. Questionnaires were distributed to 129 students, based on random sampling method selected from various races and genders, for the purpose of data collection. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The result shows that the goodness of fit indices of structural equation model are achieved at GFI=0.951, P-value=0.249, RMSEA=0.036 and ratio (cmin/df) =1.163. The finding supports three significant direct effects in the revised model, thus supporting the hypotheses regarding professional attraction is positively related to entrepreneurial intention (β=0.648, CR=2.324, p<0.05), professional attraction is positively related to entrepreneurial experience (β=0.407, CR=2.270, p<0.05), and entrepreneurial capacity is positively related to entrepreneurial experience (β=0.597, CR=2.245, p<0.05). The structural model explains 93.1 percent variance in entrepreneurial intention. The result is discussed in the perspective of technical students' intentions toward entrepreneurship.

“…Empirical studies from Asia have appeared in recent years, from China (Bernhofer and Han, 2014;Siu and Lo, 2013), Pakistan (Azhar et al 2010), India (Wei, 2007), and Viet Nam (Tran and Santarelli 2014;Mai, 2016) In Shapero's Entrepreneurial Event Model (Shapero, 1975), it considers firm creation as the result of the interaction among contextual factors, which would act through their influences on the individual's perceptions. Shapero lists three dimensions that determine entrepreneurial intention, namely "Perceived desirability," "Perceived feasibility," and "Propensity to act".…”

This study aims to investigate entrepreneurial intention among international business students in Viet Nam as it is on the way to approve The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The theory of planned behavior (TPB) (Ajzen, 1991) is used to assess the determinants of entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese students who major in international business study. An exploratory factor analysis and multiple regressions are used to examine the responses from 372 final year students. The results confirm that attitude toward entrepreneurship and perceived behavior control are positively related to entrepreneurial intention. Subjective norm fails to generate a significant impact on entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial intention is significantly influenced by two components of TPB model (R 2 = 0.307) which are attitude toward entrepreneurship (β = 0.292) and perceived behavior control (β = 0.408).

“…The main factors contributing to this interest was the suffering of industrialized countries from economic recession, high unemployment rates and fluctuation in international trade cycles which most of these countries have not experienced before. This situation has tended to increase the attention paid to the potential role of entrepreneurs (Garavan & O'Cinneide, 1994) as one of the possible solutions to the problems faced by most of the countries because the growth of entrepreneurial activities can help in creating jobs for the society and reducing the unemployment rate (Azhar, Javaid, Rehman & Hyder, 2010).…”
