摘要

创业意向(EI)作为创业行为的前兆和创业教育的理想结果,已经得到了大量的研究。然而,现有的研究分析其时间稳定性的缺乏已被注意到。本文旨在通过研究EI的时间稳定性,研究其作为一种态度状态随时间的持久性来解决这一差距。设计/方法/方法在11年的时间里,对来自葡萄牙的学生样本进行了一系列个人和群体层面的纵向分析。作者强调了EI随时间变化的幅度,其中项目结构、相对和绝对稳定性以及群体和个人层面的EI变化都被考虑在内。结果表明,在最初的5年里,EI项目结构的稳定性和相对稳定性为强到中度,有中度恶化的迹象。这种恶化在整个11年期间变得更加明显。在EI的绝对稳定性方面,虽然大学生(作为一个群体)在前五年没有表现出发展更高或更低EI的总体趋势,但在11年期间发现了轻微的恶化。在个体水平上,发现EI不稳定,并且随着时间的推移而增加。最后,探索性结果表明,创业教育可以缓冲EI的恶化。这些发现为EI与创业行为之间的关联提供了更细致的推理,并强调了EI变化的关键决定因素,可以为教育专家和政策制定者提供信息。EI领域的合法性在很大程度上取决于一个稳定的EI结构的存在以及意图和行为之间的牢固关系。该方法为EI的时间稳定性提供了一个新的、更完整的图景。

Entrepreneurial intentions’ temporal stability – intraindividual and group-level analyses
Purpose Entrepreneurial intention (EI) has been studied prolifically, as a precursor to entrepreneurial action, and a desired outcome of entrepreneurship education. Yet, the paucity of extant studies that analyze its temporal stability has been noted. This paper aims to address this gap by studying the temporal stability of EI, investigating its persistence as an attitudinal state over time. Design/methodology/approach A series of intraindividual and group-level longitudinal analyses were undertaken, over an 11-year period, using a student sample from Portugal. The authors highlight the magnitude of EI change over time, where item-structure, relative and absolute stability and group and individual-level EI changes are all considered. Findings Results indicate an initially strong to moderate EI item-structure stability and relative stability over the first five years, with moderate signs of deterioration. This deterioration becomes even more pronounced across the full 11-year period. Regarding EI absolute stability, while college students (as a group) did not display a general tendency to develop higher or lower EI during the first five years, a small deterioration was found over the 11-year period. At the individual level, EI instability was detected, and this increased with time. Finally, the exploratory results suggest that entrepreneurship education may buffer the deterioration of EI. Practical implications The findings provide a more nuanced reasoning for dampened EI–entrepreneurial behavior associations and highlight key determinants of EI change, which can inform educational experts and policymakers. Originality/value The legitimacy of the EI field lays heavily on the existence of a stable EI construct and a strong relationship between intentions and behavior. The methodology provides a new and more complete picture of EI’s temporal stability.
