“…Some prior research shows a positive relation between need for achievement and entrepreneurial intention (Gürol and Atsan, 2006;Çolakoğlu and G zükara, 2016). However, this is in contrast with the findings of a recent study carried out by Sharaf et al (2018) who reported that the need for achievement has no significant impact on entrepreneurial intention.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the entrepreneurial intentions of university students at two major universities in Yemen. The entrepreneurial intentions of students were determined using demographic, personality, environmental and situational variables. The primary data were collected through a questionnaire survey method. A total of 487 students have been included from different programs such as economics, commerce, sciences, computer and IT, medical sciences, agriculture, engineering, art and law. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, principal component factor analysis, t-test, analysis of variance, correlation and regression analysis were employed. The results indicate that individual perceptions of need for achievement, self-efficacy, locus of control and situational variable have a significant impact on entrepreneurial intention, but not instrumental readiness. Age and entrepreneurial experience have a significant impact, but not gender and university. The study recommends that students should develop their entrepreneurial capacity by following informal and formal training of different entrepreneurial skills needed to run a business. Government and universities should organize entrepreneurship training courses and establishing entrepreneurship centers, incubators and support entrepreneurial start-ups activity.

“…Fig 1 is the base model according to Ajzen’s (TPB) [ 15 ], while Fig 2 is based on Lüthje & Franke’s Model (LFM) [ 17 ]. Previous studies were used as guides for distinguishing these models [ 21 , 65 ]. The base model predicts that attitudes concerning entrepreneurship, social norms and perceived behavioural control are positively associated with students’ self-employment intention.…”

This study assesses whether final-year undergraduate students at Sana’a University, Yemen intend to start their own business. The study employs the theory of planned behaviour and two environmental factors to explore whether the theory’s behavioural factors and the contextual factors of Lüthje & Franke’s model have an impact on students’ intentions to start their own business. A questionnaire survey with a random sample of 335 final-year university students from the largest public university in Yemen has been conducted. Data has been analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and structural equation modelling. The findings indicate that students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship have a strong, direct impact on self-employment intention, excluding social norms and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Students’ self-employment intention is directly affected by perceived barriers and support factors in the entrepreneurship-related context. To increase their entrepreneurial abilities, university students require more training and education to be able to start new businesses. Developing entrepreneurial skills among citizens may improve the societal norms of business. The outcomes provide significant implications for policymakers, academic communities and international bodies.
