This study has adapted Ajzen's (1991) theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to investigate the effects of factors such as lifestyle, self-efficacy, social capital, attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms and perceive behavioural control on a business start-up intention among Vietnamese students. By using a meta-analytic path analysis with a sample of 663 students at universities and colleges in Vietnam, the authors indicate that subjective norms do not directly affect the entrepreneurial intention but they have an indirect effect on the business start-up intention through the attitude towards entrepreneurship. Moreover, self-efficacy is seen as the most important factor in shaping the entrepreneurial intention, followed by the attitude towards entrepreneurship and social capital. Interestingly, the research results show that the attitude towards entrepreneurship plays the mediating role in the relationship between subjective norms, social capital and the entrepreneurial intention. These findings also show that the theory of planned behaviour can be effectively applied in the context of transitional economy in Vietnam. (original abstract)

W niniejszym badaniu zaadaptowano teorię planowanego zachowania Ajzena (1991) do analizy oddziaływania takich determinantów, jak: styl życia, poczucie własnej efektywności, kapitał społeczny, stosunek do przedsiębiorczości, normy subiektywne i postrzeganie kontroli behawioralnej na intencje przedsiębiorcze wśród wietnamskich studentów. Stosując metaanalityczną analizę ścieżek z próbą 663 studentów uczelni w Wietnamie, autorzy wskazują, że normy subiektywne nie mają bezpośredniego wpływu na intencję przedsiębiorczości. Natomiast mają pośredni wpływ na tą intencję poprzez podejście do przedsiębiorczości. Co więcej, poczucie własnej efektywności jest postrzegane jako najważniejszy czynnik kształtowania intencji przedsiębiorczych. W dalszej kolejności liczą się postawa wobec przedsiębiorczości i kapitału społecznego. Co ciekawe, wyniki badań pokazują, że stosunek do przedsiębiorczości odgrywa rolę łącznika w relacji między normami subiektywnymi, kapitałem społecznym i intencjami przedsiębiorczymi.
