THE THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOUR AS PREDICTOR OF ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS OF STUDENTS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: This study assists in understanding the perceived influence the Theory of planned behaviour (TPB) has on entrepreneurial intention (EI) of students and further show the intricacies of this relationship. The study was conducted inside Bosnia and Herzegovina with a sample of students from different public and private universities with the aim to investigate how the model fairs within the Bosnian cultural and structural environment. The questionnaire was based on previous research and measures to preserve the reliability and validity of the results and SPSS was used to investigate our data through a series of tests. There have only been a few studies relating Theory of Planned behaviour to EI in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so our research supports and follows previous authors conclusions and is a valuable reference in support of future research of entrepreneurial intent in this country. The end goal of proving the TPB is a valuable predictor of entrepreneurial intention is important as it gives added reasoning to foster the constructs in the TPB through structural and educational support proven previously to be strong influences on personal attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. Entrepreneurs from Bosnia and Herzegovina oftentimes overachieve given the lack of educational and governmental support they receive during their career, showing that with a more structured approach B&H is bound to produce higher levels of entrepreneurial success across the board.
