Asimismo, se identificaron variables sociodemográficas asociadas a tal intención.

Six standardizedand reliable instruments were applied to 1493 undergraduate university business students in Latin Americancountries, selected through non-random quota sampling in accordance with their formation level in each of thefive participating universities. Using structural equation techniques, the research model was validated andintention estimated and analyzed in relation to a set of socio-demographic variables. According to the results,entrepreneurial intention can be significantly predicted by the psychological variables under consideration and,contrary to what has been reported in other research, no gender differences were found in the intention ofentrepreneurship.
