“…The greater the level of enterprise knowledge among students, the higher their interest in entrepreneurship. This is consistent with most of the studies that addressed personal experience (AmmaL and Mathi 2014;Koh 1995;Paramond 2004;Tan et al 1996;Tkachev and Kolvereid 1999). In Oman, students lack the knowledge of how to start a business, and are occupied with fear of failure, as revealed by Belwal et al (2015).…”

“…This result is inconsistent with the findings of Koh (1995), Paramond (2004), Tan et al (1996), Tkachev and Kolvereid (1999) and AmmaL and Mathi (2014), whose studies showed that students who had family and personal experience in entrepreneurship would develop a positive attitude towards an entrepreneurial career.…”

“…Many studies have used the Robinson and Haynes (1991) model of entrepreneur attitude orientation scale to investigate the factors influencing attitude towards entrepreneurship (AmmaL and Mathi 2014;Koh 1995;Paramond 2004;Tan et al 1996;Tkachev and Kolvereid 1999). These studies showed that attitude towards entrepreneurship is influenced by family, business background, innovativeness, self-efficiency, risk-taking and independence, which in turn affect student career choice as an entrepreneur.…”

The purpose of the paper is to assess the implication of attitude of graduate students in Oman towards entrepreneurship. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and a multivariate regression model were used to assess the attitude and identify its influencing factors. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, with a sample of 165 students, selected from four colleges in Muscat. Results show that although graduates in Oman have a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship, preference to start their own business after graduation is low. Increasing graduates' business knowledge and understanding of business risk, in addition to promoting entrepreneurship education can positively influence their attitude towards entrepreneurship. The government, higher education institutions and business incubators have an important role to play in changing the attitude of graduates towards entrepreneurship, and setting effective entrepreneurship strategies. Recommendations for future research have been made at the end of the paper.

“…These authors generated the Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation scale that explains the attitude prediction through four different sub scales (achievement, self-esteem, personal control, and innovation) and three types of reactions (affective, cognitive or conative). This model has been used in several empirical studies about potential entrepreneurs (Koh, 1995;Paramond, 2004;Tan, Long, & Robinson, 1996;Tkachev & Kolvereid, 1999).…”

There is general agreement that attitudes towards entrepreneurship are determinant factors to decide to be an entrepreneur. In this context, this research is focused on analyzing the relationship between desirability and feasibility on university student's intentions to create a new firm in Catalonia. A structural equation model supported by Krueger & Brazeal's Model was tested with different groups of students. The main results reveal most of university students consider desirable to create a new firm, although the perception of feasibility is not positive. Also, there is a statistical significant and positively relationship between credibility and the intention to create a new firm.
