dc.description.abstractPurpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the antecedents of female students' intention to start a business by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior with their individual experience and knowledge about entrepreneurship. Design/Methodology: A survey was conducted among female students of Technological Education Institute of Athens, Greece. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze and examine the relationships among the variables included into the proposed conceptual framework. Findings: The results present a robust relationship between Personal Attraction (PA) and Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) and also between, Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) and EI. Furthermore, Social Norms and Valuations impact on EI directly and indirectly, through their effect on PA and PBC. In terms of individual differences, familiarity with entrepreneurs' society appears to have an indirect effect on EI through PA and PBC, while self-employment experience has an impact on PBC only. Finally, female student working experience presents no influence on EI. Practical implications: In an effort to promote entrepreneurship among young females, policy makers ought to consider ways to increase PA and PBC, making business ownership and self-employment more desirable and feasible to them. In terms of individual differences, family members, or mentors, or other significant to the person people, from the industry or the academia, similarly as self-employment experience, can also play an important role in the same respect. Originality/value: This is the first study, to our knowledge, to consider female student entrepreneurial intention in Greece and the first one to use the theory of Panned Behavior in this particular context. The divergence among the findings of other similar studies makes the need for studying each individual country imperative and this is the gap this study attempts to close.en_US
