The aim of the research was to validate the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) as an instrument to measure entrepreneurial intention, in the Brazilian context. The EIQ as revised by Liñán, Urbano and Guerrero (2011) is based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TCP) by Azjen (1991). The research was quantitative and descriptive and considered the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul and the Federal University of Great Dourados, both in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The survey was conducted with 505 undergraduate students in courses of Management and Production Engineering at the two universities. The Structural Equation Modeling (MEE), with Partial Least Squares Model, and software SmartPLS 2.0 M3 gave support to the statistical procedures. The constructs presented positive and significant relationship explaining 13% of the variance of the PA, 21.2% of BPC and 57.3% of IE. The relationship between PA and IE showed the greatest power among the observed denoting the strengthened role of the observed between PA and IE theoretical relationship. The results indicate that the EIQ was validated with test hypotheses, and can be considered as model for entrepreneurial intention in the context of the study of Brazilian federal universities.Downloads
