RESUMO:

Higher education is universally recognized as a key pillar in the construction of new knowledge economies. However, the Brazilian universities, in general, does not explore its potential to inspire and stimulate ambition and innovation in university entrepreneurs. In light of this perspective, 56% of entrepreneurship students believe that entrepreneurship initiatives are essential to prepare them, but only 38.78% of the universities offer these opportunities on average, and of these, the highest percentage, 33.1% %, corresponds to the presence of some type of student organization focused on small businesses, in which the Junior Enterprise (JE) fits. In order to contribute to the development and expansion of this activity, the present research aims at analyzing how the entrepreneurial intention of the Brazilian university students linked to the Junior Enterprise behaves through the Modeling of Structural Equations (SEM). Regarding the methodology used, the research is characterized as applied with a quantitative approach and the method is based on the SEM. Data collection was nationwide and was conducted online through a survey, reaching a sample of 445 students. For statistical analysis, Smart PLS software version 3.2.8 was used with SEM techniques in order to test the hypotheses of the model with the variables that affect the entrepreneurial intention. The results showed that the constructs present positive and significant relationships explaining 12.4% of Personal Attitude (PA), 13.9% of Control of Planned Behavior and 64.9% of Entrepreneurial Intent (EI), with the exception of Subjective Norms that showed no relation to EI, which led to rejection of the H3 hypothesis. The relationship between PA and EI had a greater effect among the others observed, confirming the findings of other studies in the literature. It is concluded that the TPB model is adequate to evaluate the entrepreneurial intention of the students of JE, and that there are gaps in the performance of the government and the universities in the promotion of entrepreneurial education. The findings of this research have implications for scholars of entrepreneurship education, program evaluators, universities, and policy makers.
