Abstract

This study explores the lagged effect of university-based entrepreneurship education on employees' retention at entrepreneurial startups in China. Combining insights from social learning theory and the attraction-selection-attrition framework, it is argued that university-based entrepreneurship education can shape individuals' protean career attitudes and behaviors over time in their following career development. To test the hypotheses, we took a two-stage survey on-site and online, respectively, of a sample of employees working in startups in three entrepreneurial incubators in China. Taking hierarchical multiple regression and bootstrapping analyses, the empirical results of the final 274 sample show that entrepreneurship education can significantly improve an employee’s intention to remain at a startup and that this is mediated by protean career attitudes. Meanwhile, socialization tactics can strengthen the mediating effects of protean career attitudes. These findings further verify the lagging effect of entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities, which can provide useful inspiration for entrepreneurship education and the management of employees at startups.

大学创业教育对创业企业留住员工的滞后效应

本研究探讨了大学创业教育对中国创业企业员工留任的滞后效应。结合社会学习理论和吸引-选择-流失框架的观点，本研究认为，大学创业教育可以在个人的后续职业发展中塑造其长期的职业态度和行为。为了验证假设，我们分别对中国三家创业孵化器中的初创企业员工进行了现场和在线调查。通过层次多元回归和引导分析，最终 274 个样本的实证结果表明，创业教育能显著提高员工留在初创企业的意愿，而这一意愿又受到蛋白型职业态度的中介作用。与此同时，社会化策略可以加强职业态度的中介效应。这些发现进一步验证了高校创业教育的滞后效应，可为创业教育和初创企业员工管理提供有益启示。
