Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy on their opportunity recognition capability after their exposure to classroom-based entrepreneurship education, leading to the development of intention to undertake an entrepreneurial activity. A detailed questionnaire was used to collect data from 351 students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Results confirm that the student’s entrepreneurial self-efficacy positively influences their intention to undertake an entrepreneurial activity directly and indirectly via their opportunity recognition capability. Also, entrepreneurship education significantly moderates the link between students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy and opportunity recognition capability. These results have practical implications for universities and policymakers, as universities that are not providing entrepreneurship education can adopt the same module of classroom education. Also, policymakers can frame policies directing institutions to start similar kinds of entrepreneurship education programs, even at the intermediate level, particularly in lower-middle-income countries.

大学生创业意向:创业教育的调节研究

本研究旨在考察学生在接受课堂创业教育后，创业自我效能感对其机会识别能力的影响，从而导致创业活动意向的发展。一份详细的调查问卷收集了351名攻读本科和研究生课程的学生的数据。结果证实，大学生创业自我效能感通过机会识别能力直接和间接地正向影响大学生创业活动意愿。创业教育显著调节了学生创业自我效能感与机会识别能力的关系。这些结果对大学和政策制定者具有实际意义，因为没有提供创业教育的大学可以采用相同的课堂教育模块。此外，政策制定者可以制定政策，指导机构启动类似的创业教育项目，即使是在中等水平，特别是在中低收入国家。

It looks in detail at the processes and enactments of academia-business cooperation as well as examining the significance of that cooperation in wider contexts, such as regional development, entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems. While emphasizing the practical aspects of academia-business cooperation, IHE also locates practice in theoretical and research contexts, questioning received opinion and developing our understanding of what constitutes truly effective cooperation. Selected key topics Knowledge transfer - processes, mechanisms, successes and failures Research commercialization - from conception to product ''Graduate employability'' - definition, needs and methods Education for entrepreneurship - techniques, measurement and impact The role of the university in economic and social development The third mission and the entrepreneurial university Skills needs and the role of higher education Business-education partnerships for social and economic progress University-industry training and consultancy programmes Innovation networks and their role in furthering university-industry engagement
