Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to determine the antecedents that affect higher education students' entrepreneurial intention and awareness in two developing economies (Turkey and Poland) and one transition economy (Kosovo). Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quantitative research approach based on a sample of 342 questionnaires. Using SPSS 23, AMOS and Process Hayes, this study tests research hypotheses using explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and mediation analysis. Findings The findings show that personal attitudes (PA), perceived behavioural control (PBC) and need for achievement (NFA) variables affect students' entrepreneurial intentions and alertness (EIA) in Turkey, Poland, and Kosovo. PA and PBC mediate the impact of NFA on EIA. In addition, analyses show that the country variable does not have a moderator effect on EIA, PA, NFA and PBC variables. The findings reveal that students' perceptions of EIA differ by country. Research limitations/implications The sample comes from a university in three countries; therefore, these results cannot be generalised to the entire population. In addition, the study was carried out with a cross-sectional study urging the need for a longitudinal analysis of the data, which may provide better results. Practical implications Results can benefit policymakers and higher education administrators for resource planning, organising educational curricula and strategic policy plans for building the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Originality/value The originality of this article is that it presents a model to reveal the effect of PA, PBC and NFA variables on EIA in three different countries.

青年创业意向的跨文化比较
目的本文旨在确定影响两个发展中经济体(土耳其和波兰)和一个转型经济体(科索沃)高等教育学生创业意愿和创业意识的前因。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用了基于342份问卷样本的定量研究方法。本研究采用SPSS 23、AMOS和Process Hayes软件,采用解释性和验证性因素分析、相关分析、回归分析和中介分析对研究假设进行检验。研究结果表明,在土耳其、波兰和科索沃,个人态度(PA)、感知行为控制(PBC)和成就需求(NFA)变量会影响学生的创业意图和警觉性(EIA)。PA和PBC调解NFA对EIA的影响。此外,分析表明,国家变量对EIA、PA、NFA和PBC变量没有调节作用。研究结果表明,不同国家的学生对环境影响评价的看法不同。研究局限性/含义样本来自三个国家的一所大学;因此,这些结果不能推广到整个人群。此外,这项研究是通过横断面研究进行的,敦促对数据进行纵向分析,这可能会提供更好的结果。实践意义结果可以使决策者和高等教育管理者受益于资源规划、组织教育课程和建立创业生态系统的战略政策计划。独创性/价值本文的独创性在于,它提出了一个模型来揭示PA、PBC和NFA变量对三个不同国家环评的影响。
