Therefore, the ability to predict intentions becomes a central issue in the managerial literature. In this contribution, drawing on the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991), we model the influence of individual and contextual variables on the intention formation process. Relying on a sample of 200 entrepreneurs, we test a theoretical model of the micro-foundation of entrepreneurial intention. Our results show that entrepreneurial intention is influenced by psychological characteristics, by individual skills and by environmental influences. Managerial implications related to the creation of the conditions fostering entrepreneurial intentions within companies are discussed.

We analyze the population of nine hundred thirty-five UsOs spun-off from italian public universities since 2000, highlighting potential avenues for future research on this important topic.
