Abstract
The study advanced a social cognitive understanding of entrepreneurial intentional through examinations
of psycho-social factors (situational context and entrepreneurial education) on entrepreneurial attitudes
orientations (EAOs) and entrepreneurial intentions (EIs). Results pointed to significantly higher EIs
means for male students in comparison to female students. Students’ perception of situational contexts
showed significant relationships with EIs, but not EAOs. The agribusiness program had positive but
insignificant effects on both EAOs and EIs. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy had no indirect associations
with students’ perception of their agribusiness program, situational contexts, EAOs and EIs.
