Abstract

Many researches have tried to explain why only some people choose to become entrepreneurs and others don’t. In this paper, we have tried to figure out the main influencing factors of entrepreneurial intention. Intentions or the behavior of one individual is different from that of the others. The Cognitive approach provides an insight to study the human behavior or thinking, which in turn affects the entrepreneurial intentions. This paper mainly examines the relationship between different factors like self-efficacy, role model, religion, experience, monetary aspect etcetera with the entrepreneurial intention among students in Nepal. Also, this paper has tried to figure out which factor has more influence in entrepreneurial intention, which factor acts as a moderating factor and which factor has less influence in the entrepreneurial intentions among the students of Nepal. Understanding the perception of the youth is important since they are the potential entrepreneurs of the future and their perception can be a contribution to the development of literature.
