  ABSTRACT: The Ajzen’s [1] Theory of Planned Behaviour was applied to study the entrepreneurial intentions of the construction workers. The effects of the TPB variables, gender and age on the EI were examined using the statistical tool of multiple linear regression and analysis of variance. The results have indicated that all the three TPB variables such as Attitude towards entrepreneurship, Subjective Norm and Perceived Behaviour Control had significant affect and were the strongest predictors to become entrepreneur. It was evident that females have shown lesser attitude and perceived behavior control than males to become entrepreneurs. Among the respondents, people of 40 and above age have shown inclination to become entrepreneurs. There is a need for the governments to recognize the unorganized construction sector and provide some basic education in strengthening their entrepreneurial skills and enhance their confidence to become better entrepreneurs.
