The Entrepreneurial Intention between Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior: Empirical Evidence in the Case of the Tunisian Public Civil Servants

The analysis of the entrepreneurial intention makes it possible to apprehend the behaviors leading to the creation of a company. Indeed, the entrepreneurial intention constitutes the first act in the entrepreneurial process and therefore, the study of its subjacent factors is of great range particularly when they are the public civil servants. However, the determinants of the entrepreneurial intention remain still not unanimously identified and rudimentary. We will try in this paper to locate the factors of the entrepreneurial intention while following a comparative approach between the reasoned action theory and the planned behavior theory and adding the necessary refinements. With this intention, we base ourselves on an analysis of the hierarchical regressions for the prediction of the intention of the Tunisian public civil servants.
