This work aims to analyze the Entrepreneurial Intention of Brazilian management students in a situation of insecurity in the face of a possible economic crisis caused by the global pandemic of the Corona Virus Desease 2019 (Covid-19), for this purpose a questionnaire called Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire - EIQ was applied in students of technical and higher courses in administration and analyzed by an Exploratory Factor Analysis with maximum likelihood extraction method and varimax rotation and a Multiple Regression Analysis to verify the influence of each of the constructs on the “Entrepreneurial Intention” of the respondents. It turned out that, in times of economic uncertainty, future entrepreneurs tend to follow their personal desires and goals to the detriment of what people in their social cycle think about and that this behavior may be explained by entrepreneurship by necessity or by the glimpse of opportunities for innovation in the face of the post-pandemic economic scenario.
