English Abstract
This thesis aims to investigate students’ intentions of Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT) in Jordan, and Kuwait University (KU) in Kuwait toward entrepreneurship after their graduation, and how they differ based on their individual characteristics, contextual and demographic factors.
In order to accomplish the research objectives, a conceptual framework was designed.
The conceptual framework consists of four major constructs: individual characteristics, contextual factors, demographics’ factors and entrepreneurial Intentions.
This thesis is an exploratory study.
The data were collected through a self-administrated questionnaire from on a convenient sample of 250 third and fourth year business students at both universities.
The responses rate was about 83%.
The findings of this study showed that student’s intention to become entrepreneurs after graduation (intend vs.
will not intend) differ in terms of their individual characteristics and contextual factors in both universities together, but they were not different in terms of their demographics’ characteristics; gender and university.
The research has been finalized with some practical implications and recommendations
