Data for: Data on personal and contextual factors of university students on their entrepreneurial intentions in some Turkish universities

This data examines the impact of personal (entrepreneurial self-efficacy and locus of control) and contextual (university environment and knowledge about business) factors on entrepreneurial intentions of university students in two Turkish universities. University students are one of the important groups to study entrepreneurial intentions. There are a number of studies that tested the effects of different personal and contextual factors separately on students’ entrepreneurial intentions. This data tests the impacts of two different personal and contextual factors on students’ entrepreneurial intentions at the same time. Data collected using a questionnaire adapted from previous research. A quantitative research design is employed to test the data. The population of the data included 356 university students. Data was analysed running regression analyses with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Personal factors are confirmed stronger triggering factors than those of contextual.
