[Purpose]This study tried to broaden our understanding of variables that affect entrepreneurial intentions by analyzing how positive psychological capital affects entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, in a situation where there is a lack of research on what influences entrepreneurship, this study tried to discover factors affecting entrepreneurship. [Methodology]After conducting a self－report questionnaire on 322 college students from three universities, SPSS was used to analyze mediating effects using multiple regression analysis and Process Macro. [Findings]It was confirmed that only resilience among positive psychological capital had a positive effect on the entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, resilience, hope, and optimism had a significant effect on entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship was found to have a complete mediating effect in the relationship between positive psychological capital and entrepreneurial intentions. [Implications]This study has academic implications for expanding the concept of planning behavior theory to positive psychological capital and entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, this study contributed to expanding the understanding of the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention by concluding that positive psychological capital, which can be called a cognitive characteristic, affects the entrepreneurial intentions based on the competency theory.
