“…A positive or favorable attitude towards a behavior, such as starting a business, is formed when perceived to have beneficial and desirable consequences. Specifically, the attitude towards entrepreneurship (AE) has shown a consistent and significant impact on EI in most of the research carried out in various contexts (Al-Jubari et al, 2018;Kautonen et al, 2015;Kolvereid, 2016). Considering the above, the following working hypothesis is proposed.…”

“…In this sense, previous contributions show that the study of entrepreneurial intention (EI) is essential to understand the entrepreneurship process (Kautonen et al, 2015;Kolvereid, 2016). The closest predictor of the decision to become an entrepreneur is seen in EI; the intention can foreshadow behaviors (Fini et al, 2012), indicates how intensely you prepare and how much effort you are planning to commit to carrying out an entrepreneurial behavior (Bird, 1988;Carsrud and Brannback, 2011).…”

The study of Entrepreneurial Intention is essential to understand the beginning of the entrepreneurship process. The literature on academic entrepreneurship sustains a shortage of research related to how an individual, in the academic environment, develops the entrepreneurial intention of starting a spin-off. Starting from the Theory of Planned Behavior, the objective of the present study is to analyze the incidence of motivational antecedents (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived control) on Academic Entrepreneurial Intention and examine the effect of individual factors (creativity, perceived utility, self-confidence, business experience) and context (business experience, entrepreneurship training, and business environment) in said antecedents. Method: The data collection was through a survey applied randomly to 172 academics from the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa in various areas of knowledge (technical and social). Data analysis was carried out using the multivariate Structural Equation Model technique, through the Partial Least Squares approach, for which the Smart PLS software was used. Results: The result of the structural equation model showed that the main antecedent of the academic entrepreneurial intention is the attitude towards entrepreneurship. This, in turn, is influenced by Creativity and Perceived Utility. Discussion: The research’s structural model allows predictive evidence of unobservable variables that influence entrepreneurial intention’s formation in the academic environment. Also, the findings present practical implications that are useful for university management to promote academic entrepreneurship.

“…As mentioned above, entrepreneurial intentions have been extensively studied, but the distinction between entry modes to entrepreneurship is not always explicit. Parker and Praag (2012) pointed out aggregation problems that may ensue when different entry modes are combined, although Kolvereid (2016), for example, concluded that the intention to start a business/to become self-employed is largely interpreted by respondents in surveys as the same thing. Iakovleva and Kolvereid (2009) did find that, for Russian students at least, the intention to acquire a business is distinctly different from other entrepreneurial intentions.…”

Entrepreneurial intentions have been extensively studied, but little is known about the intended mode of entry into entrepreneurship and its antecedents. This study tests the utility of the theory of planned behavior in a new, more specific context, namely business takeover intentions. The impact of entrepreneurship competence on antecedents of takeover intentions is explored. Entrepreneurship competence is measured using a scale based on the EntreComp framework. Data (N = 1373) were gathered from two institutes of higher education in Finland and analyzed using logistic regression. The results show that the TPB can be useful in investigating takeover intentions. The subjective norm has a notable and direct effect on takeover intentions, but the effect of entrepreneurship competence is mediated by attitudes and perceived behavioral control. The effect of parental role models on takeover intentions is significant, although the study is not limited to family successions; gender is also significant. The results show that the relationship between takeover intentions, entrepreneurship competence, and family role models is a complex one. Future studies on entrepreneurial intentions should pay attention to the differences in antecedents of entry modes.

“…Entrepreneurial intent has been studied in relation to parental selfemployment (Carr & Sequeira, 2007), social influences (Engle et al, 2011), personality (Prabhu et al, 2012) as well as other traits or treatments. Importantly, entrepreneurial intention has been found to be a predictor of subsequent self-employment adding validity to the concept (Kautonen et al, 2013;Kolvereid, 2016). Despite the proliferation of makerspaces across the country, scant research has studied how their use may shape entrepreneurial intent among young people.…”

Making Entrepreneurs? Makerspaces and Entrepreneurial Intent Among High School Students

Makerspaces have grown over the last two decades and provide a potentially important resource to entrepreneurs. One area where the expansion of makerspaces has been the largest is in educational settings, at both K-12 schools and colleges. However, scant research to date has analysed whether students visiting a makerspace have any relationship with their professional goals or intentions. This study uses a survey conducted in New Orleans to analyse the predictors of what students use a makerspace, and the potential relationship visiting may have with entrepreneurial intent. The analysis finds that students with a higher socio-economic status appear to use makerspaces more often, and that students who visited makerspaces are more likely to express interest in starting their own businesses.
