Overconfidence, fear of failure, risk-taking and entrepreneurial intention : the behavior of undergraduate students / Eduart Villanueva, Izaias Martins
Sumario: This study investigates the relationship between students' behavior, risk evaluation and entrepreneurial intention (EI) to verify whether overconfidence, fear of failure, risktaking, and risk capacity affect overall risk evaluation. The study uses a sample of 828 undergraduate students from a variety of university programs, and the data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and hierarchical regression models. The results show that overconfidence, risk-taking, and risk capacity are related to EI. Further, overconfidence, fear of failure, and risk capacity are related to risk evaluation; thus, suggesting a relationship between students' behavior, risk evaluation and EI. This study offers novel evidence that helps to better understand students' risk behaviors and entrepreneurial decision-making
