Abstract: This paper has been written in response to the need to identify the factors of environment affecting students’ attitudes on startups intention within the period 2019-2020, at the time of the COVID-19 breakout. For this purpose, the research was conducted on the sample of 2,141 students in twelve universities in Ho Chi Minh City. This research finds out what motivates students to learn, shape start-up ideas as to start a new business, and how an environment approach affects students’ startup intention as to gain confidence and positive feelings about the entrepreneurship. This study shows that both general and task environment, as well as positive and negative attitudes directly and indirectly affected students’ startup intention. The implication of the findings of this study suggests that the government and universities should pay more attention to environment factors because of its providing opportunities and support to students’ startup intention.
