The present study seeks to analyze the predictors of the personal agency of university students, differentiating between Colombian and Mexican students. For which the factorial structures of the Personal Agency of both groups of students were explored, as well as the interrelationships exhibited by the factors in each of the samples. We worked with a non-probabilistic sample of 243 students, 127 Mexicans and 116 Colombians who answered the IASE Personal Agency Scale. An AF-MM reflects universality as judged by chi square values; however, there are differences between the predictors of each factor for both samples. It is discussed that studies of this allow the use of the Personal Agency scale as a predictor of said factor for students from both samples, given that it is a culturally sensitive and relevant instrument for the Latin American cultural reality.
