Entrepreneurship is based on human capital, as the development of entrepreneurial
activities comes from people committed to society, change and innovation. The
generation of entrepreneurial human capital is one of the roles of the Entrepreneurial
University, fostering entrepreneurial competences and values within the organization.
This study analyses the influence of those factors, intrinsic and extrinsic to the individual,
on the generation of Entrepreneurial Intentions (EI). Based on a sample of 420 university
students from various degrees and faculties, the present study develops a structural
equation model that explain the influence of values and six key entrepreneurial
competences on EI, applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a theoretical
approach. The first results show that not all entrepreneurial competences have a
significant influence on the formation of EI. Moreover, their effect differs for each of the
three dimensions of the TPB. On the contrary, values influence EI across all three
dimensions.
