| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to present a detailed empirical investigation of the entrepreneurial intentions among the students in business and engineering fields. The study employs Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour which considered the intention as a result of attitudes, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms. Data were gathered through questionnaires survey from 109 post-graduate students who are enrolling in business and engineering fields at recognized universities in Sri Lanka. 2x2 unequal ANOVA was performed to examine the differences between male and female students on entrepreneurial intention and the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention. The result indicated that there is a difference in the level entrepreneurial intention and perceived behavioural control between male and female students. Both males and females from business and engineering fields have the same perception regarding the venture attractiveness and the pressure placed by the society to perform certain actions. Further, the study reveals that the domain of specialty has a significant influence on attitude towards entrepreneurship. |
