In this paper, we investigate entrepreneurial intention by applying the Theory of
Planned Behaviour (TPB) by Ajzen (1991). We specifcally examine the role of gender
on entrepreneurial education and role models or parental self-employment (PSE), by
carrying out a multi-group analysis (MGA). We used a web-based questionnaire to collect information from 216 students at a Spanish university. Data are analysed with the
help of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)–Partial Least Square (PLS). We conducted a
tripartite analysis on Complete, Male, and Female Models. Regarding the Complete and
Male Models, all the primary hypotheses (5 in total) were accepted, compared with four
for the Female Model. In this study, the primary hypotheses focus on the core variables
of the TPB. We recommend the institutionalization of traineeship, elective courses,
conference and workshops on entrepreneurship to boost the entrepreneurial spirit
of students. Though this study has confrmed the applicability of the TPB model to
entrepreneurial intention, we did not fnd a signifcant relationship between Males and
Females about their entrepreneurial intentions for some relationships. However, this
study suggests that the relationship between PSE and perceived behavioural control
(PBC) is stronger for Males than Females Our results have implications for entrepreneurship education scholars, program evaluators, and policymakers.
