Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world, local and sustainable entrepreneurial initiatives are gaining importance as factors in local economic and social development. If education plays an essential role in students' entrepreneurial motivations, universities need to take an active role in entrepreneurial education and become examples of how to implement sustainable territorial actions. With data from the 2021 Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey in Spain, we selected 1694 university students who were carrying out their own entrepreneurial projects. Using a Component Principal Analysis and Cluster analysis, we classified these students into three entrepreneurial motivation groups and then characterised them through a descriptive univariate and bivariate inferential analysis with sociodemographic variables and with two indexes measuring university and environmental influence. Knowing the motivational profiles of university students, the entrepreneurial developers of the future, can help university researchers evaluate strategies and educational programs aimed at promoting entrepreneurial behaviour.

大学生创业动机特征：大学在培养创业精神中的作用

在日益全球化的世界中，作为地方经济和社会发展的因素，地方和可持续的企业行动日益重要。如果教育在学生的创业动机中起着至关重要的作用，那么大学需要在创业教育中发挥积极作用，并成为如何实施可持续领土行动的榜样。根据西班牙2021年全球大学创业精神学生调查的数据，我们选择了1694名正在进行自己创业项目的大学生。利用成分主分析和聚类分析，我们将这些学生分为三个创业动机群体，然后通过描述性的单变量和双变量的社会人口变量推断分析，以及衡量大学和环境影响的两个指标，对他们进行了表征。了解大学生（未来的创业开发者）的动机特征，可以帮助大学研究人员评估旨在促进创业行为的策略和教育计划。
