Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to observe the effects of important factors affecting IT employees’ entrepreneurial intentions in Pakistan. Pakistan is a developing country and has a low rate of employment of young people. The basic issue is how to recognize the attraction of being self-employed instead of seeking jobs. The literature reviews into concepts and conceptualizations of the theories and has offered a framework recognizing the problems and the research gap. The research design comprises of developing a hypothetical model with entrepreneurial skills as the exogenous variable to test the endogenous variable of entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, perceived behavioral control and stakeholders’ support system considered as mediating variables. The methodology used in this study is quantitative that contains a random sample from IT professionals working in Pakistan. The questionnaire is proposed for data collection and analyzed through SPSS version 18.0 and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) 3.0.
