Cognitive Dynamics And Entrepreneurial Intent: Analysis Of Determinants Among Students At The University Of Bejaia
Authors : Lalali Rachid . Mahmoudi Mourad .
Abstract
This study analyses the economic and cognitive mechanisms that structure the entrepreneurial intent of students in a context of saturated graduate labour market. It examines the relationship between individual and institutional determinants in the construction of this intention. From a sample of 177 students at the University of Béjaïa, across all disciplines, and using a principal component analysis followed by hierarchical regression, the results show that cognitive dimensions, in particular perceived desirability and feasibility, have a significant effect on the intention to undertake, in accordance with the planned behaviour theory and the entrepreneurial event model. Entrepreneurial intent stems from a personal assessment of available opportunities and resources, while institutional factors like training programs strengthen perceived feasibility and commitment to act.
