摘要

目的发现机会是那些想创业和选择进入职场的人的关键创业能力。在这项研究中,作者通过揭示学生的个人主动性(Frese和Fay,2001)如何以及何时导致这一关键能力的提高,重点关注发现创业机会的能力的前因。本研究的目的是检验冒险和创造力在大学生个人主动性和机会发现能力之间的相互作用中的作用。设计/方法/方法使用自我评估工具在两个时刻收集数据,使用来自葡萄牙的103名大学生参加创业课程。作者在创业课程(时间1)开始时测量了个人主动性和创业风险。两个月后(时间2),在创业课程结束时,作者测量了创造力和机会发现能力。研究结果表明,冒险行为介导了个人主动性对机会发现的影响,创造力与冒险行为和机会发现相互作用。具体而言,作者发现,当学生表现出平均或高于平均水平的创造力时,创业冒险与机会发现之间的关系是积极的,具有统计学意义。当学生的创造力增加时,个人主动性对通过创业冒险发现机会的间接影响似乎会增加,因为适度中介指数是正的。研究局限性/含义与所有研究一样,本研究的工作也有局限性。首先,这项研究的数据仅限于来自葡萄牙的学生样本。因此,作者应该小心对来自其他文化背景的学生的概括;不同国家的创业能力可能不同。其次,本研究的发现是基于学生对自己创业能力的自我报告。独创性/价值这项工作可以激励创业教育工作者全面看待创业能力模型,并激励未来的工作探索创业能力之间的关系模式。

Personal initiative, risk-taking, creativity and opportunity discovery among students
Purpose Discovering opportunities is a key entrepreneurship competence for those who want to start their own business and who choose to enter the workforce. In this study, the authors focus on the antecedents of the ability to discover entrepreneurial opportunities by uncovering how and when students' personal initiative (Frese and Fay, 2001) leads to an increase in this key competency. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of risk-taking and creativity in the interplay between personal initiative and opportunity discovery competencies among university students. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected with a self-assessment tool in two moments in time, using a sample of 103 university students from Portugal enrolled in an entrepreneurship course. The authors measured personal initiative and entrepreneurial risk-taking at the beginning of the entrepreneurship course (Time 1). Two months later (Time 2), by the end of an entrepreneurship course, the authors measured creativity and opportunity discovery abilities. Findings The results of this study showed that risk-taking mediates the effect of personal initiative on opportunity discovery and that creativity interacts with risk-taking and opportunity discovery. Specifically, the authors found that the relationship between entrepreneurial risk-taking and opportunity discovery is positive and statistically significant when students display average or above-average creativity. The indirect effect of the personal initiative on opportunity discovery through entrepreneurial risk-taking seems to increase when the student's creativity increases, as the index of moderated mediation is positive. Research limitations/implications As with all studies, there are limitations to work of this study. First, data of this study is restricted to a sample of students from Portugal. As such, the authors should be careful about generalizations concerning students from other cultural settings; entrepreneurship competencies can differ across countries. Second, the findings of the present study are based on students’ self-reports regarding their own entrepreneurship competencies. Originality/value This work can inspire entrepreneurship educators to look at the entrepreneurship competencies models holistically and inspire future work to explore the relationship patterns between entrepreneurial competencies.
