Abstract

Our study aims to explore the influences of trait competitiveness and entrepreneurial alertness on the cognitive process of entrepreneurship in the cross-cultural context of Vietnam and Poland, two emerging nations with different levels of economic and social development. To achieve this research goal, two student questionnaire surveys were carried out at universities and institutes in Vietnam and Poland. Structural equation modelling (SEM) with a bootstrapping approach was utilised to test the proposed hypotheses and conceptual model. Eight hypotheses were statistically supported by the Vietnamese dataset, confirming the significant and positive effects of both trait competitiveness and entrepreneurial alertness on the cognition process of entrepreneurship. However, for the Polish data, trait competitiveness was not found to be associated with an entrepreneurial attitude, perceived behaviour control, or entrepreneurial intention, while entrepreneurial alertness was positively related to perceived behavioural control. Our study has significantly contributed to the entrepreneurship literature by increasing the knowledge about the central role of trait competitiveness and entrepreneurial alertness on the cognitive process of business ventures in two emerging countries, where to the best of our knowledge, few studies related to our topic have been researched. Moreover, practical contributions are also offered for educational institutions and practitioners to stimulate university students’ business venturing activities.

特质竞争力和创业警觉性在大学生创业认知过程中的作用:越南和波兰的跨文化比较研究
本研究旨在探讨越南和波兰这两个经济社会发展水平不同的新兴国家在跨文化背景下,特质竞争力和创业警觉性对创业认知过程的影响。为了实现这一研究目标,在越南和波兰的大学和研究所进行了两次学生问卷调查。采用自举方法的结构方程建模(SEM)来检验所提出的假设和概念模型。越南数据集在统计上支持了八个假设,证实了特质竞争力和创业警觉性对创业认知过程的显著和积极影响。然而,对于波兰的数据,特质竞争力与创业态度、感知行为控制或创业意图无关,而创业警觉性与感知行为控制呈正相关。我们的研究通过增加对两个新兴国家的特质竞争力和创业警觉性在企业认知过程中的核心作用的了解,对创业文献做出了重大贡献,据我们所知,在这两个国家,与我们的主题相关的研究很少。此外,还为教育机构和从业者提供实际贡献,以刺激大学生的商业冒险活动。
