Abstract
This study investigated the factors that influence entrepreneurial intention between two student populations from the United States and Portugal. The model predicted that entrepreneurial intention would be influenced by entrepreneurial capital, general self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and that the model results would be stronger in the U.S. than in Portugal. The main effect hypotheses were supported while moderating effect hypotheses were not, although there were some interesting culturally relevant anecdotes. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on personality and cultural influences on students' intentions to become entrepreneurs. Implications for research and teaching are offered.
