Self-efficacy, Hope, Optimism and Resiliency, which are all dimensions of psychological capital, were assessed with the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), the Hope Scale (HS), the Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R) and the Resilience Scale (RS), respectively. The Entrepreneurial Intention was assessed through five statements. According to the results, Entrepreneurial Intention is related to all dimensions of Psychological Capital, mainly with Self-efficacy and Resilience. Psychological Capital as an integrated construct was related to Entrepreneurial Intention as a whole. These findings provide additional evidence about the importance to study Psychological capital as an integrated construct instead of studying its dimensions separately, even more so when studied in relation to Entrepreneurial Intention. In spite of the advances in the knowledge about the individual differences related to entrepreneurial intentions, it is necessary to continue studying this phenomenon, considering that the results are still scarce and inconclusive. 2015-02-15 2020-08-19T14:43:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion ISSN: 1911-2017 EISSN: 1911-2025 https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/27699 http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v13n3p80 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf Canadian Center of Science and Education Asian Social Science
