This study aimed to examine the determinants of entrepreneurial intention of business students by integrating at the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) the entrepreneurial self-efficacy. A sample of 280 students from Higher Institute of Management of Gabès in Tunisia was surveyed. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to validate the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and its determinants. The results show a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurial intention and three of the factors considered: subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The finding of this research study will facilitate policy makers and educators to promote entrepreneurial activities at the university level.
