We employ the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis on a sample of 144 students to generate novel insights about drivers and constraints of entrepreneurial intentions in two distant cultural clusters, i.e., Confucian Asia and Eastern Europe. Our findings shed light on how attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and barriers intertwine to shape students' entrepreneurial intentions in different cultural settings, thereby affirming the principles of the neo-configurational perspective adopted in this study—multiple conjunctural causation, causal equifinality, and causal asymmetry.

Results showed that in both countries the internship characteristics of supervisor support and mentoring, autonomy, and task goal clarity positively relate to student perceptions of the developmental value of their internship and job pursuit intention with the intern-host. However, the nature of these relationships varies, with U.S. students benefiting more from greater autonomy, while French students benefit more from increased supervisor mentoring. Contrary to expectations, increased task goal clarity led to poorer outcomes for French students.

A survey questionnaire of students in both countries, analysed with structural equation modelling, revealed a strong inclination (94%) towards the private sector. Key determinants influencing sector choice include perceptions of the public sector's efficiency, valuation of job security, social responsibility, and gender-based preferences. The study confirmed certain pre-existing notions about public sector perceptions while also highlighting regional differences between Polish and Norwegian students. While Poles prioritize job security, likely influenced by the nation's current labour market, Norwegians to a greater degree hold the public sector in high regard and demonstrate a strong sense of social responsibility.

We argue that the idealized identity is facilitated by several processes in broader management education and learning processes: idealized management skills taught in business schools, popular literature that defines what a \"good manager\" should be, and high expectations from stakeholders, colleagues, and employees.
