Abstract

Purpose This study aims to identify and explore the factors affecting social entrepreneurial intentions considering an educational institution in Portugal. It also intends to determine the relevance of moderating factors in the antecedents and entrepreneurial intention of these students. Design/methodology/approach A panel of 177 undergraduate students enrolled in a social entrepreneurship course between the academic years 2018 and 2021 is considered. The data is explored quantitatively considering descriptive analysis techniques, correlational analysis and hypothesis testing. Findings The findings reveal that entrepreneurial intention depends on multiple individual, organizational and contextual dimensions. Students' entrepreneurial intention remains unchanged regardless of the student’s profile. However, students' professional experience is a more relevant factor for the identification of organizational dimensions related to curriculum and critical pedagogy, while previous involvement in volunteer activities contributes to a higher prevalence of individual factors. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is original in exploring the role of entrepreneurial intention and its antecedents considering a heterogeneous students' profile. It offers theoretical and practical contributions by extending the literature on social entrepreneurial intention that can be used by higher education institutions to offer specific training more focused on the student's profile.

影响葡萄牙高等教育机构社会创业意向的因素
目的本研究旨在识别和探索影响葡萄牙某教育机构社会创业意愿的因素。本研究还旨在确定这些学生的前因和创业意向中的调节因素的相关性。设计/方法论/方法一个由177名本科生组成的小组在2018至2021学年期间参加了社会创业课程。采用描述性分析技术、相关分析和假设检验对数据进行了定量分析。研究结果表明,创业意向取决于多个个人、组织和情境维度。无论学生的个人情况如何,学生的创业意愿都保持不变。然而,学生的专业经验是识别与课程和批判性教育学相关的组织维度的一个更相关的因素,而之前参与志愿者活动有助于个体因素的更高流行率。独创性/价值据作者所知,本研究在探索创业意图的作用及其前因方面具有独创性,考虑到学生的异质性。它通过扩展关于社会创业意向的文献提供了理论和实践贡献,高等教育机构可以利用这些文献来提供更注重学生形象的具体培训。
