Entrepreneurship has gained considerable space in education, public policies and the interest of researchers and managers, much in terms of their impact on social and economic aspects of a nation. This growing interest is clearly due to due, to the correlation between entrepreneurship and economic growth appearing through innovation and job creation. Entrepreneurial intention is considered as the first step in the process of finding and exploiting opportunities (KOLVEREID, 2016), which makes the intention important in the understanding of entrepreneurship (SCHLAEGEL; KOENIG, 2014).

Then, the constructs that most positively influence the entrepreneurial intention are the subjective norms and the perception of control, respectively.
