Cover Story: Student entrepreneurship contributes to the intensification of economic activities. The study assesses students’ entrepreneurial intentions and measures the impact of their important determinants. Using primary data (392 students) and analysis methods based on correlation and stratified multiple regression as well as non-parametric tests, the study reveals that students’ entrepreneurial intentions are influenced by mindset and resilience. The results show that the influences of these factors can vary significantly when the analyses include gender, field of study, year of study, professional experience, age, and country of origin. The impact of resilience varies depending on the specifics of the control variables. This study considered both analyses of resilience (as a synthetic indicator) and its subcomponents. View this paper
