Entrepreneurial Intention, Postgraduate, Structural equationsAbstract
Entrepreneurial intent is defined as a personal trait that precedes a behavior and can be a state of mind in which the individual is directed toward something he wishes to achieve or to form moments before the realization of an idea. Knowing the entrepreneurial intent, differences and similarities between the attitudes of individuals can lead us to the reasons that lead them to undertake. The objective of this research was to analyze the entrepreneurial intention in the dimensions of personal attitudes, subjective norms and perception of planning control, based on a sample of 107 postgraduate students from the Federal University of Santa Maria. The research method is applied in nature, with quantitative approach, with exploratory and descriptive objectives. The technical survey of data was used using structural equation modeling from three hypotheses, where only hypothesis H1 (Personal Attitudes are directly and positively related to Planning Control Perception) was confirmed, H2 (Subjective Norms if directly and positively related to Planning Control Perception) and H3 (Subjective Norms directly and positively related to Personal Attitudes) were rejected.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
