Abstract

Wide entrepreneurship education (EE), based on constructivist pedagogies and effectual logic, emphasizes the inclusion of entrepreneurial attitudes and personal development as central EE components. Hence, the main aim of this study is examining how entrepreneurial attitudes and subjective well-being (SWB) are related with two additional personal resources necessary to thrive in an unpredictable and demanding labour market. Following constructivist educational recommendations, a full structural equation model was proposed and tested relating entrepreneurial attitudes, psychological capital, and self-care with SWB in a sample of 324 undergraduates. The findings revealed that self-care is a significant mediator, explaining 75.3% of SWB, and fully mediates the impact of psychological capital on SWB. However, self-care did not mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial attitudes and SWB. Intriguingly, a negative effect of entrepreneurial attitudes on SWB was observed. The study suggests mitigating this adverse impact by encouraging activities that foster self-care and psychological capital in university students.

大学生主观幸福感:与创业态度互补的两种社会心理技能

基于建构主义教学法和有效逻辑的广泛创业教育(EE)强调将创业态度和个人发展作为核心的创业教育组成部分。因此，本研究的主要目的是研究创业态度和主观幸福感(SWB)与在不可预测和苛刻的劳动力市场中茁壮成长所必需的两种额外个人资源之间的关系。本研究以324名大学生为样本，根据建构主义教育理论，提出了创业态度、心理资本和自我照顾与主观幸福感之间的完整结构方程模型，并对其进行了检验。研究发现，自我照顾是一个显著的中介，解释了75.3%的主观幸福感，并充分中介了心理资本对主观幸福感的影响。然而，自我照顾并没有中介企业家态度与主观幸福感之间的关系。有趣的是，创业态度对主观幸福感有负向影响。该研究建议通过鼓励大学生培养自我照顾和心理资本的活动来减轻这种不利影响。

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
