Abstract


The purpose of this study is to identify the main determinants of entrepreneurial intention among engineering and business students. A bibliometric meta-analysis was performed with 1215 articles published in Scopus between 2009 and 2023, which spans 15 years of scientific production on entrepreneurial intention. Sources, authors, affiliations, countries, most cited papers, keywords, trending topics, co-occurrence network, thematic evolution, and collaborative networks were analyzed. Results showed that key related themes include entrepreneurial education, contextual factors, and personality traits. An average annual growth of 30.26% in annual scientific publications was observed. 2023 was the year with the highest scientific production, and 2009 had the highest average number of citations. It was shown that students from developing countries tend to have a higher entrepreneurial intention. Only 1% of all studies were conducted in Central America. The most used theory was that of planned behavior. The main determinants include entrepreneurial self-efficacy, attitude toward entrepreneurship, personality traits, contextual conditions, and entrepreneurial education. The practical implication of the present study suggests that higher education institutions can foster an environment that promotes the development of entrepreneurial intention among students.
