Abstract

Entrepreneurship is a key factor in sports due to the globalization and increase in competitiveness in the actual labour market. Therefore, it is important to understand entrepreneurial behaviour and distinguish between the two possible types, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, because both should be promoted. However, while studies on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students are a consolidated area of study, little is still known about intrapreneurial intentions. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to discover the determinant variables of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students. For that reason, a sample of 183 senior-level sports science students, 23.60% female and 76.40% male with ages ranging between 20 and 41 years old (M = 22.56; SD = 2.70) was analysed. The results showed that the determinant variables of these two types of entrepreneurial behaviour are totally different. In the case of entrepreneurial intentions, the attitude towards behaviour and the perceived behaviour control were the significant determinants, while in the case of intrapreneurial intentions, the entrepreneurial abilities, subjective norm and age were the main determinants. To summarise, the educational university policies used to enhance the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students should be different. Finally, to address this issue, some practical implications were presented.

Effects of a sport-based positive youth development program on youth life skills and entrepreneurial mindsets

“…However, country level comparisons showed that the Tanzanian sample had the most effects, the Ghanaian sample had marginal improvements and scores from Botswana's sample declined at posttest. While caution has to be exercised in the interpretation of these findings because of country-level variations and a small sample, the findings offer support to what has been reported in previous studies on entrepreneurship education in sports context [50,51]. Although Gonzalez-Serrano and colleagues' [52] study was a cross-sectional survey of college students majoring in sport science, their findings offer insights on the relevance of intentionally nurturing entrepreneurial mindsets or making them part of the curriculum and educational policies.…”

Developing coordination with the author's "Sport in Square" technique

“…Significantly, in this way, pupils have the opportunity to compose a letter binder in equivalents, thus facilitating their orientation in using the mat. Listening to rhythmic music helps pupils to instil a sense of tact and rhythm (González-Serrano et al, 2018). The key task in this part of the lesson is to master the given material, learning and repeating it several times.…”

Fit-intrapreneurship in the emerging economy of health and fitness industry

“…However, research on intrapreneurship in the sports field is scattered and/or with a diverse focus (Lara-Bocanegra et al, 2021;Ratten, 2021). In recent years, several studies linked to the generation of intrapreneurial intentions in the sports field (Jones et al, 2017;Lara-Bocanegra et al, 2022b, 2022aZvosec et al, 2023) and others linked to the generation of the intention to undertake intrapreneurially in university students (Gonz alez-Serrano, 2019;Gonz alez-Serrano et al, 2018, 2019, 2023Zainuddin and Mukhtar, 2023) have been published.…”
