Abstract

This paper is solely intended to revisit the concept of Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) among i nter nat i onal st udents i n Turk ey. By uti li zi ng Ajze n’ s t heory of pl anned behavior (TPB) as the explaining variables, this paper shows that EI obviously exists among the international students in Turkey. In particular, the respondents are determined by using simple random sampling method. Hereby, online questionnaires are delivered to several social media platform groups, such as WhatsApp, e-mail, Messenger, and Facebook groups’ of international students who study in 12 big cities and 25 universities across Turkey. As many as 122 respondents who come from 40 countries participated in the online survey. By employing correlation analysis and descriptive statistic, the results notify that Personal Atti t ude (PA) and Subj ec t ive Norm (SN ) of i nt er nat ional st udents’ i n Turke y generall y show high values. Otherwise, the Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) performs neither high nor low value. In conclusion, the common perception of international students in Turkey relating to Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) is noted with high mean score, in which the support of developing intention is obviously correlated to the planned behavior factors as delivered by Ajzen (1991).
