Entrepreneurship has been widely studied in recent decades, and it has been linked to other research areas such as social psychology. Remarkable contributions have combined these fields to explore how to predict entrepreneurial intentions. Building on previous research on the factors that predict students' intentions to start a business, this study explores the link between intentions and behavior. The aim is to ascertain whether university students have genuine intentions to start a business and see themselves as capable of doing so. This study draws upon Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior to examine the role of students' and/or prospective entrepreneurs' skills and capabilities. Structural equation modeling is used to empirically test the hypotheses. This study makes a unique contribution, extending the model described by the theory of planned behavior by adding entrepreneurial skills and addressing a gap in the literature on the link between entrepreneurial intentions and entrepreneurial behavior.
