The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of self-employment behavior amongst business students in Pakistan. In this regard, the impact of entrepreneurial education, business incubation programs, students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and social entrepreneurial attitude on students’ entrepreneurial intention and behavior was examined.

The findings show that entrepreneurial education, business incubation ‎programs, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and social entrepreneurial attitude significantly and ‎positively influence self-employment intention which in turn positively predicts self-employment behavior.
