Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to quantitatively examine the entrepreneurial intention among business students in Bangladesh, focusing on their behavioural patterns. To achieve this, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data. The survey specifically targeted factors such as the ability to overcome negative attitudes, willingness to explore new opportunities, personal attitudes towards entrepreneurship, proactive behaviour, the drive for excellence, and self-assurance in making decisions. A total of 175 participants were purposefully selected to provide comprehensive insights. The Likert scale, a recognized and widely utilized measurement tool, was employed to evaluate the participants' entrepreneurial intention. The results indicate that exposure orientation, personal attitudes, and pursuit of greatness positively influence entrepreneurial intention. This study contributes to the existing literature on entrepreneurial intention by providing context-specific insights for business students in Bangladesh. The study covered six significant behavioural aspects factors those are getting over a negative attitude, being open to new experiences, having a positive attitude, taking action, striving for excellence, and making decisions with confidence.
