Numerous studies in the field of entrepreneurship highlight the importance of entrepreneurial intention to explain entrepreneurial behavior. The aim of this study is to explore predictors of entrepreneurial intention and to investigate characteristics in which students differ. Results have shown that gender, social support, desirability of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial self-efficacy are significant predictors of entrepreneurial intention. The differences between students were investigated in variables that are closely related to entrepreneurship: entrepreneurial creativity, satisfaction with study, social support, desirability of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. They were investigated considering the student’s gender, age, a family entrepreneurial role model, and level and type of study. Results have shown that there are gender differences in desirability of entrepreneurship and in entrepreneurial intention, but there aren`t any age differences in any of the variables that were measured. Students of undergraduate and graduate studies differ in satisfaction with study and social support (evaluation). Students that have a family entrepreneurial role model differ from those who do not in social support (evaluation and approval), entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Students from Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Faculty of Civil Engineering from Rijeka differ in every measured variables, but post hoc tests didn`t show significant differences, so the direction of differences remain undetermined. Investigating entrepreneurial intention in sample of students is very important because more and more young people show intention to become entrepreneurs. It is important to follow up the development of entrepreneurial intention, which can consequently drive up the growth of entrepreneurial behaviors and increase entrepreneurial activities.
