Am I an Entrepreneur? Entrepreneurial Self-Identity as an Antecedent of Entrepreneurial Intention

A hierarchical regression analysis controlling for demographic variables has been performed in order to test the research hypotheses.

Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of Italian university students and graduates ( N = 88) with no previous participation in…
