Entrepreneurship tends to add value to products and services, enables the creation of new jobs, enhances productivity and consequently economic development. The objective of this paper is to study the phenomenon of entrepreneurship through understanding of the effect of several variables in Entrepreneurial Intensions. Based on variables extracted from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor databases and in order to analyze the association between the variables, the Pearson Correlation was performed, followed by a Multiple Linear Regression model to list which variables explain the entrepreneurial intentions in a significant way. The results of correlations show significant positive correlation between Perceived Capabilities, Entrepreneurship as a Good Career Choice, High Status to Successful Entrepreneurs and Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity and Entrepreneurial Intentions. The significant predictors found for Entrepreneurial Intentions were the Perceived Capabilities, Entrepreneurial Activity in the Initial Phase, High Status for Successful Entrepreneurs, and Motivation. Variables concerning behavior and attitudes are the best explanatory for entrepreneurial intentions in the world; none of the variables considering framework conditions entered in the model.
