Abstract:

research topics for academics and policy makers. Researchers have tried to explain entrepreneurial intention with different models and The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is the best-known model to explain entrepreneurial intention in entrepreneurship research. In order to find out the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention, different studies have been carried out on different variables. The aim of the research is to reveal the factors affecting the entrepreneurial intentions of individuals from different perspectives and to determine the relationship between them. For this purpose, the demographic characteristics of individuals and TPB were chosen. The city of origin and the city to return to also added as the new variables. Questionnaire method was preferred as the data collection tool in the research, a questionnaire was applied to 81 senior architecture undergraduate students in Turkey and Logistic regression was used as the analysis method. In this direction, it has been examined through three different models in order to observe the effects of both elements separately and together. As a result of the analysis, it was found that individual and situational factors had a higher rate of explaining entrepreneurial intentions. The small sample size seems to be a limitation of the study. Future studies on a large sample group using different variables and statistical methods will make significant contributions to the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
