Abstract: We investigated the effect of sense of status on undergraduate students' international entrepreneurial intention as well as the possible influences of risk propensity and having a global mindset on this relationship. Data were collected by surveying 265 students at 19 universities in Eastern China. As hypothesized, sense of status was positively related to the students' international entrepreneurial intention, and this relationship was mediated by risk propensity. Further, having a global mindset moderated the mediating effect of risk propensity on the relationship between sense of status and international entrepreneurial intention. This study demonstrates the value to international business study of examining the previously neglected association between sense of status and international entrepreneurial intention among undergraduates in China, as well as how risk propensity may influence international entrepreneurial intention.
