Abstract

Angola is one of the countries at the bottom of the ranking in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Creating sustainable businesses can accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. The present study analyses the antecedents of sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention (SOEI) among Angolan higher education students. It starts from the relationships established by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) that were adapted to the sustainable strand. New possible behavioural antecedents of SOEI were added. The Partial Least Square method was applied to a sample of 308 Angolan higher education students. The results show that the TPB dimensions can be adapted and used as antecedents of SOEI and that the TPB can be extended, comprising new antecedents of SOEI also related to individuals' behaviours such as risk-taking propensity, internal locus of control, creativity and proactivity. These unknown antecedents can be taught, learned and stimulated, with universities, policymakers and organisations playing a pivotal role.

揭示安哥拉大学可持续创业意向的前因:理论计划行为延伸建议

安哥拉是在实现可持续发展目标方面排名垫底的国家之一。创建可持续发展的企业可以加速实现可持续发展目标。本研究分析了安哥拉高等教育学生可持续创业意向的前因。它从计划行为理论(TPB)建立的关系开始，这些关系适应了可持续链。增加了新的可能的SOEI行为前因。采用偏最小二乘法对308名安哥拉高等教育学生进行抽样分析。研究结果表明，TPB维度可以被适应并用作SOEI的前因变量，并且TPB可以被扩展，包括新的SOEI前因变量，这些前因变量与个体的冒险倾向、内在控制点、创造力和主动性等行为有关。在大学、政策制定者和组织发挥关键作用的情况下，这些未知的先决条件可以被教授、学习和激发。

期刊介绍： Industry and Higher Education focuses on the multifaceted and complex relationships between higher education institutions and business and industry. 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
