Abstract: Self-employment is a fundamental indicator of the proactiveness of individuals, groups or society as a whole, while the measure of success of higher education is the number of participants educated and trained in higher education programs for future proactive inclusion in society. The aim of this paper is to highlight the characteristics of the proposed model (i.e., the SCC model), which is applied to data collected at a higher education institution and used for modelling self-employment intentions. The SCC model tests the predictive ability of different constructs (motivation for achievement, higher education, theory of planned behaviour, and control variables) related to self-employment intentions. The sample (n = 426) consists of graduate students faced with two future career choices - either self-employment or employment in a company (working for someone else). Hierarchical multiple regression was used to analyse the proposed model and it was found that the academic context the students are exposed to affects the process of modelling self-employment intentions.
