Table 2: Demographic Profile of Respondents The level of personal attitude toward becoming entrepreneur, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and entrepreneurial intention The level of personal attitude toward becoming entrepreneur, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and entrepreneurial intention of business students was high. Being an entrepreneur implies more advantages were scored 3.89 to business students. The attraction of a career as an entrepreneur was rated high with 4.05 mean. Opportunity and resources, like to start a business rated very high with 4.21 mean. Entrepreneurship as option, was rated high with 4.07 mean. Satisfaction as entrepreneur was rated also high with 4.01 mean. Generally, the attitude towards becoming an entrepreneur of business students is high with (4.05) mean or manifested most of the time. To support this outcome, the attitudes towards entrepreneurial behavior are a function of one’s beliefs that performing the behaviors will lead to various outcomes and the evaluations of the outcomes. Therefore, if behavioral beliefs suggest that positive outcomes might be obtained by engaging in a specific behavior, individuals would likely have a positive attitude towards that specific behavior (Cavazos-Arroyo et al., 2017). The Level of perceived behavioral control of business students was high level. Easiness to start a business and keep it working was rated high (3.51). Ability to control the creation process of a new business rated high (3.61). Having a complete control over the situation to start and run a business was high (3.73). Preparedness to do anything to be an entrepreneur was high (3.76). Knowing all about the necessary practical details needed to start a business rated high 3.61 mean. Trying to start a business, have a high chance of being successful was high (3.79). Generally, the level of perceived behavioral control of business students is high with 3.66 total mean or manifested most of the time. To support this outcome, the search for understanding the lens through which nascent entrepreneurs’ approach or perceive opportunities is a cornerstone of entrepreneurship research carrying significant practical implications. An important step in understanding how nascent entrepreneurs perceive opportunities is by understanding their perception of control over their environment. While the constructs that form the psychological capital construct, hope, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy are all revered characteristics and highly associated with entrepreneurs, the consequences of these being applied to situations where the individual actually has a misplaced sense of control may have dire consequences (Mario Hayek, 2014). The level of subjective norms of business students had high level. Friends, approval to start a business was high (3.49). Immediate family approval to start a business was also high 3.73 mean. Generally, the level of subjective norms of business students is high with overall total 3.61 mean or manifested most of the time. To support this outcome, the student’s existing skills and capabilities do not prove to be a significant predictor of their intentions to become entrepreneurs. The study concludes that the students can become successful entrepreneurs even without existing entrepreneurial skills and capabilities, provided that they have the entrepreneurial attitude, desirability and support by the community (Yousaf et al. 2015).
