Entrepreneurial intention and action are driven by several common factors, such as:
Demographic variables (age, gender, and geographical location)
Socio-economic background
Personal characteristics (attitude towards risk, open mindedness, and optimism)
Human capital (education, experience, exposure to diversified cultures, religions, and ethnicities)
Social capital
Macroeconomic environment (level and growth of GDP, unemployment rate, level of ICT usage)
“Entrepreneurial intention represents a

materialized in their desire to act in the
creation of a new company or within
existing firms, prior to the identification of
business opportunities” (Fini et al., 2009).
