Against this background, the current paper investigates influence of role models, entrepreneurial attitudes and entrepreneurial self-efficacies using a sample of 423 students in Poland. Through a novel fuzzy-set analysis method, three distinct combinations of the under study are found to be most effective for strengthening entrepreneurial intention among university students. By implication, these findings task entrepreneurship educators to concurrently foster the three in the process of nurturing entrepreneurial careers within their student body.
