ABSTRACT
The objective of this research is to explore factors that contribute towards entrepreneurial motivation in university students of Pakistan testing ethnicity, minority and entrepreneurship theory. Data of 533 respondents from HEC recognized universities in Pakistan has been collected and analyzed for the purpose of our research. The results suggest that there exist 'psychological' and 'economic' and factors from family profile that influence the entrepreneurial motivation of university students in Punjab province of Pakistan confirming ethnicity, minority and entrepreneurship theory. Over and above, there also exits a group of psychological factors that partially mediate in our model. The theory needs to be tested in different industries and economic settings for further validations. The research has huge practical implications as it identifies 'psychological' and 'economic' factors that need to be focused on increasing entrepreneurship culture in Pakistan. If focused, it will go a long way in dealing with the problems of unemployment by setting up new business enterprises.
