The important impact factors of entrepreneurial motivation for college students

Abstract

Almost every university of science and technology is currently implementing entrepreneurial education, but the outcome varies. The reason for this is that students taking the courses have varied background factors, resulting in differed intensities of entrepreneurial motivation (EM). The purpose of this study is to explore the entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), creative tendency (CT), and EM, prediction of first-year students from a university of science and technology with different background variables. In addition, whether ESE and CT can enhance EM was predicted. Research conclusions: family business, entrepreneurial intentions, entrepreneurial potential, pre-entrepreneurship training, and risk-taking have a significantly positive impact on ESE, CT, and EM; entrepreneur competition has a significantly positive impact on CT and EM; entrepreneurial intentions, entrepreneurial potential, and risk-taking on EM reach the significant standard; entrepreneurial intentions, risk-taking, ESE, and CT reach the significant standard on entrepreneurial motivation.
