This study attempts to enhance our understanding of why some third age individuals develop
intentions towards entrepreneurship. Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour and its three
antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions, this study contributes to the literature on
psychological drivers of entrepreneurship among the elderly. Our results among 204 French
individuals between 45 and 65 years old show that posterity positively moderates the
relationship between entrepreneurial attitudes and entrepreneurial intentions, and negatively
moderates the relationship between social norms related to the creation of new firms and
entrepreneurial intentions. Our study offers interesting insights concerning entrepreneurship
among third age individuals.
