“…Kuryan et al [63] believed that mentoring and training services are among the main business support services provided by business incubators to start-ups, and explained the concept of training program services-that the incubating company appoints a coach or mentor for each startup to provide professional advice on many issues to help develop new ideas and entrepreneurial business development. In support of the importance of training support services, Armellini et al [64] and Myint et al [65] emphasized that training support services and network support services are the main reasons for the success and excellence of European technology business incubators and that capital support services and managerial consulting are among the reasons for the success of American businesses.

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Saudi Arabian government has promoted the tourism industry as a way to achieve the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 by diversifying the economy and reducing overdependence on the oil sector. To align with this, several universities in Saudi Arabia have started providing tourism education. Accordingly, several academic programs and university incubators were launched to prepare workers and entrepreneurs for the industry. This study examines the role of support given by university incubators—embedded in networking support, financial support, and training support—in enhancing entrepreneurship intention among tourism graduates. Furthermore, the study examines the mediating role of personal attitude in the aforementioned relationship. Data were collected from a sample of 750 senior students at tourism and hospitality management colleges in Saudi Arabian public universities. All of the research participants have had access to these incubators. Using structural equation modeling, the study shows that the personal attitude of graduates partially mediates the impact of networking support as a dimension of university incubator support and entrepreneurship intention. However, the personal attitude of graduates was found to fully mediate the relationships between financial and training support and entrepreneurship. Future research implications and limitations are elaborated.
