Sažetak
Entrepreneurship is an important driver of economic progress and growth. In an effort to build an innovative economy, promoting youth entrepreneurship should be a priority. Younger individuals are in general more mobile, proactive, creative, innovative, willing to change and adaptable than older population and as such represent an important strategic resource of any national economy. To encourage the development of entrepreneurial intentions among young adults, it is essential to develop an understanding of their antecedents. The objectives of this research were to determine young adults' perceptions of the importance of formal and informal institutional factors in the context of a hypothetical decision to start a new business venture and to determine the impact of these perceptions on their entrepreneurial intentions. The primary survey was conducted in the Republic of Croatia via online survey questionnaire accessed by 301 respondents aged 18 to 30 years. Research results indicate that higher perception of formal and informal institutional factors' importance is related to higher entrepreneurial intentions score.
