countries with different cultural and social structures, Indonesia and The

several factors of entrepreneurial intentions such as demographic factors (gender,
age, education background, work experience), personality factors (need for
achievement and self-efficacy) and environment factors (access to capital, access
to information and social networks). Moreover, it has been decided to compare
some need for achievement and social network variables between the two
samples.
Generally, the findings of this study find evidences for the effect of
demographic, personality and environment factors on entrepreneurial intentions.
Gender, education background, need for achievement, self-efficacy and social
networks variable are found to be determinant factors of entrepreneurial intention
of master students in Indonesia and The Netherlands. Interesting result has been

other factors like working experience, access to capital and access to information
do not have significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions of the samples.
Moreover, the comparative analysis of this study found that Indonesian have
higher entrepreneurial intention, need for achievement and social network than
