One of the main directions of entrepreneurship research revolves around entrepreneurial intentions, which proved to be the best predictor of entrepreneurial behavior. The use of social-cognitive career theory in the prediction of entrepreneurial intentions is rare, regardless of the fact that the basic assumptions of the theory have been confirmed in different contexts. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to investigate how successfully the entrepreneurial intentions of students can be explained with the help of the concepts of social-cognitive career theory and the variables of proactive personality and social influence. Three hundred and six students of undergraduate and graduate studies and integrated undergraduate and graduate studies from the City of Zagreb took part in the research, which measured their level of entrepreneurial expectations of outcomes and self-efficacy, the level of entrepreneurial interest, social influence, and proactive personality. The path analysis showed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy had a direct and indirect effect, through entrepreneurial interests, on entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurial outcome expectations had an indirect effect, through entrepreneurial interests, on entrepreneurial intentions. Social influence and proactive personality did not significantly contribute to the explanation of entrepreneurial intentions. The entire model explained 66,7% of the variance of students' entrepreneurial intentions and was in concordance with social-cognitive career theory. The research provided important information about the possibility of predicting entrepreneurial intentions, which results can be used to develop appropriate programs to encourage entrepreneurship and improve selection processes in companies that are in search of a person with entrepreneurial tendencies.
