The purpose of this study was to demonstrate whether students' perception of psychological capital and their communication skills have an impact on their entrepreneurial intention. According to the results obtained from 369 undergraduates, who are study at a public university in Turkey, it was observed that there were positive relationships between their communication skills, psychological capitals and entrepreneurial intentions. Also, results indicated that psychological capital affects entrepreneurial intention more than communication skills. Besides, among the sub-dimensions of psychological capital only self-efficacy has positive effect on entrepreneurial intention, the others have no significant effect.
